Suggestion on Intel 8th Generation Build

I am the master of my Fate.
@OP: Do u want to show-off the cabinet with LED lighting ?
If Yes, then go ahead with RGB lighting and tempered glass cabinets.

Other wise u can save money and get better processor and GPU.
Trident RGB is highly overpriced and makes no sense in buying.

Invest your money wisely and gain more in performance.

and 22k for an SSD is too much, u only need 256GB or 512 GB SSD max for gaming. 1050GB is too much and waste for gaming requirements only.

Corsair Carbide Spec series is also good cabinet with excellent air flow.

U can buy Core i7 8700 and decent cooler (since u r not into overclocking)
Dont go for liquid cooling (overkill for your requirement)

Hi,

Yes. its a kind of show-off. Actually assembling a nice gaming desktop is one of my long cherished dream. My now dead laptop (kind-off as no video output) lasted me for 7 years and the same I would be using my desktop. Although I am getting a GTX 1080 and so and so. Wont be gaming a lot. AS I said its more of a dream.

Have already got Gigabyte Z370, GTX 1080, Samsung m.2 960 256 GB and Trident Z Ram. Will get them in my hand next Monday.

Have decided to get i5 8600K ( i7 8700 will increase the budget again by 7 K). Next year December or early Q1 2019 will get Accer z53 as monitor or any other monitor worth $800 USD.

Have planned to get Logitech G900 Chaos after 6-7 months.

Should I get the SMPS Corsair RM650X from the US. What are the demerits apart from warranty?

Nice config. No other demerits.
Consider a NZXT Hue Plus or Corsair Node Commaner for integrated LED lighting. Both integrate with respective company's RGB fans and Coolers and LED strips I personally am eyeing NZXT since i find their fans are more subtle than corsairs and the Infnity Mirror in Kraken 42/52 coolers is just awesome

Now we are talking exponential increases in Ultimacy, not boring old geometric ....

Nice. You Saved at least 20-25k by getting stuff from US. How come 939 for Win10 pro?
