    Looks good, recently polished off my own build and I would recommend a bigger SSD if at all possible

    Best I could afford at the min, I’m hoping to go with just ssd and lose the HDD in the future, 1080ti is next on my list

    If it's mainly for gaming it's totally unbalanced. Drop to an i5-8600K, increase GPU to GTX1070. An i7-8700K is pointless for games.
