Hi all,

I am assembling my new PC, and would like to ask if you could please check my build.
Mainly to verify if all the components work well together. Would be a shame to invest in this PC, and have something like the memory holding it back :)

Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next 2 weeks (hopefully)
Budget Range: $2500,- (or euro, I live in the netherlands). Just the build.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (WoW, Overwatch, possibly escape from Tarkov)
Are you buying a monitor: Yes. Included in part list.
Parts to Upgrade: All. Full new build
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, but outside of budget
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Something Dutch :) Alternate.nl / 4lauch.nl / ... Witchever comes cheapest. I will build the PC myself.
Location: Hoofddorp, the Netherlands.
Parts Preferences: Not really. Do not know enough about brands to know which are top brands.
Overclocking: Definitely No.
SLI or Crossfire: No.
Your Monitor Resolution: Monitor included in parts list.
Additional Comments: Not much to add to everything I already typed.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My current system is ancient.

Not bad. You may need to up the psu wattage a bit, maybe 600/650. The 1080 is a pretty power hungry card. For the cpu cooler, check out cryroig or noctua coolers, I’ve heard they do well. For storage, try a 120 gb SSD for the os and other important things while you have a whole Tb in a standard 7200 rpm hdd. Save a bit of money and get more storage. Everything else is top notch.
