How does this build look?

[LindseyLohanisinthenews]

I have been doing a lot of research and asking other forums about building my own gaming desktop.

I am most likely going with this build unless I find something that could be tweaked as far as reliability and part life.

I am attempting to build a desktop that can run Battlefield 4, For Honor, and GTA 5 on high settings if not ultra.

My budget was $2500 but I was willing to leak a little more to get where I wanted to be, especially with having no monitor or keyboard. Mouse is optional for me.

So how does this look for what I am thriving for as far as gaming on high or ultra?

It looks like a solid build. I'm sure some will recommend a Core i5-7600K over the Ryzen 5 1600x. If your only interest is gaming the i5-7600K is better for the most part, especially overclocked. If you have other uses which can take advantage of multiple cores or are betting on future games being better optimized. The Ryzen 1600x certainly has more raw power.

I don't see any flaws in the build. I personally prefer Logitech gaming mice. That's because I've been using them for the last 10-15 years and never had a problem.

You should get a high refresh rate monitor. A 1080ti can easily handle 1440@144

Thats funny because I, too, have been and currently am using a logitech. They are extremely durable for the hell I put it through but sometimes I can't tell if my laptop just sucks or my mouse is starting to bug out ;D
