£2K build check and advice.

[MiSJAH]

I'm looking at a winter desktop build to go in my living room. SFF is a must along with being reasonable quiet.

I want to bring this in under 2K without a monitor, KB, mouse or OS.

I WILL NOT USE MSI PRODUCTS.

Preference for AORUS/Gigabyte.

This is the best I can come up with but it is over budget:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX Mini-ITX Chassis with Window - Black= £66.95
• 1 x Gigabyte GA-Z270N-Gaming 5 Intel Z270 (Socket 1151) DDR4 Mini-ITX Motherboard= £164.99
• 1 x Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz (Kaby Lake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail= £349.99
• 1 x Team Group Dark Pro 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C15 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black/Red (TDPRD416G30= £139.99
• 1 x Gigabyte Aorus GeForce GTX 1080Ti "Waterforce AIO Xtreme Edition" 11264MB GDDR5X PCI-Express Graphic= £859.99
• 1 x Super Flower Leadex Platinum 650W Fully Modular "80 Plus Platinum" Power Supply - Black= £119.99
• 1 x Corsair Hydro Series H115i Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (CW-9060027-WW)= £134.99
• 1 x Samsung 960 EVO Polaris 500GB M.2 2280 PCI-e 3.0 x4 NVMe Solid State Drive= £229.99

Total: £2,080.08
(includes shipping: £13.20)

This will 90% of the time be a gaming machine. And I like the Evolv case, not willing to change that.

Thanks for any suggestions and advice.

you could save money with a regular SSD, i highly doubt you will notice much difference.

I already have 2 of the 500GB 960's in RAID 0 in my laptop and I concur but I like them.

just looked and its not a huge saving over the 850. so meh, who knows. but if you only need to trim 80 green queens..
