Amended a few parts based on suggestions by you guys, how does it look now?
Suprising that when i compare the hero alpha and ranger, seems to be little to none difference.

Is the ram speed of 2400 good? or higher speed is reocmmended.


CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K

Motherboard: Asus Maximus VIII Ranger

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws 4 Series DDR4 2400 (32GB)

GPU: Asus Strix GTX 1080 OC

Power supply: EVGA P2 650W Gold

Primary storage: Samsung 850 Pro SSD (256GB)

Secondary: WD black 4TB

CPU cooler: Corsair H100i v2

Case: Phanteks Evolv ATX + 1 AF140 Quiet Edition Fan

OS: Windows 10

Display: Acer predator x34p
Personally would only get 16gb of ram. Only video editing or running many instances of vm then you will be needing more than 16gb ram for now.

Also normal 850evo 500gb or zotac 500gb instead of pro which makes no difference for gaming.

The saving can spend on nice pair of speaker/ headphone/ soundcard/dac.

well if u intend to play with OC with ram as well can consider getting higher rams (though ram speed benefit doesn't applies to all games).

but your SSD can consider getting either 500GB or 1TB. (since most of the current AAA games are so freaking large/huge size. minimum 30GB[i think])

Just 1 TB ssd for OS + games? Nothing wrong with putting OS and games in same drive? 1 TB seems kinda low seeing as how my current normal hdd already uses up 800 GB.

My suggestion would be this,

Ask yourself are you intending to OC ?

If yes stick to K series if no save $$ tone down on the mobo.

Are you an ASUS fanboy or hold any sort of preference over certain GPU companies over another ?

If yes stick to your current GPU selection, if no save $$ get the better promo or cheapest 1080.

Do you require that much of RAM ? For gaming purposes you could always start with 16GB and add on more RAMS in the future.

I could also tell you from personal usage Acer x34 is a way power hungry monitor that even a 1080 can't max it out in all AAA titles.

You are not too concerned with playing games on max settings? Seems like predator X34 might be a bad investment if i really want max settings, min. 60fps.

Currently from Convergent before discount coupons,
-750+750GB at 25.2 cents/GB (Total $378)
-1TB at 39.26 cents/GB (Total $402)

EVGA G2 Series (SF Leadex Gold) fails ATX PWR_OK holdup time testing.
Brownouts or blackouts (while rare in sg) with a PSU that fails PWR_OK holdup time can potentially stress your mobo and other components. Pay US$5 more to upgrade to P2 650W if its an Amazon set, passes PWR_Ok holdup and +3 year warranty.
