You don't plan on getting the 1080 ti?

[YoungGerald 170]

the 1080ti is way more expensive in the UK so the 1080 is the right option here

 

[The Untainted One 452]

I got the 1080 for just under £500 so it was a really good deal

Why don't you pimp out kartoffle so you can get the parts sooner.

Get a i7-7700k If you plan to overclock it, if not get the cheaper i7-7700, point is, if you want to have a more long lasting and stronger CPU get one of the newer i7's that I just listed, just take note that if you do you will need a Z270 motherboard. I would personally recommend the GigaByte Z270X Ultra gaming motherboard. Also about the 1080 ti you made a good decision, the 1080 ti along with just the 1080 are both overkill for 1080p gaming, the 1080 ti just provides a huge benefit only if you plan to play in 4k, where the 1080 ti can give you an average of about 15-25 fps increase, which for 4k is alot more than you might expect. Here in Bulgaria the price difference between the 1080 and the 1080 ti is only 100 Euro, but i'm not too sure how it is in the UK.  For a power supply a Corsair RMX 850@ 80+ Gold should be sufficent enough for the rig.

Not really sure about the case, that is more of a choice that you should make, also in terms of a HDD and SSD, you can have 2 1 TB Toshiba SATA III and one 250-500 GB Samsung SSD SATA III 850 EVO, you can use the HDD's as your main storage and your SSD for faster loading of games that are installed on it, remember that all the SSD does is lower load times and only few games for now truly benefit from it (battlefield games, far cry games, fallout series etc.) where you get about a 1 minute faster load time. But there are quite alot of games where you only get about 10 seconds faster load times.

I have all the parts I want already in mind but I'm open to suggestions that may change what I end up picking.

[Jamie 2,319]

Alright no problem
