Budget limit is £2200. It will mostly be used for gaming, I already have three monitors, all are 24" 60Hz so I will be gaming across all three if games support it. I also plan on getting a VR Headset so the rig being able to do it would be needed.

I have configured a PC but wanted to see if everything looked good, and if anyone had any suggestions on any other parts that would go better. I'm relatively noob when it comes to PC hardware.

Only things I require is the GPU be Nvidia Strix, 16GB RAM and a 1TB SSD.

Specs:
  • Corsair Graphite 760T V2 Case
  • Asus 7170 Pro Gaming Motherboard
  • Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz (Skylake) CPU
  • Corsair Hydro H106 240mm Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
  • Kingston Fury Black 16GB (2x8) DDR4 2400MHz RAM
  • Samsung SM951 128GB M.2 PCI-e Gen 3 8Gbps SSD for OS
  • Samsung 1.0TB 850 Evo SSD 2.5" as main drive.
  • GTX 1080 DirectCU III Strix Gaming Graphics Card
  • Corsair RM Series RMi 850 '80+ Gold' 850W Modular Power Supply
  • Windows 10 as OS

Total comes to £2067.76

Hi and welcome.

Is this a PC you are going to build yourself?

You want the ASUS board so it matches ASUS Strix?

Sorry forgot to mention that, no I will be getting it built by OverClockers.

I have that motherboard selected as I have no real knowledge of motherboards and the different ones costing so different despite them having similar if not the same specs. One of the main reasons for posting here to ask which is best for the build.
 
I'm using the configurator and see no option for the CPU + Motherboard bundle and the H110i CPU Cooler, and the SM951 are the only PCI-e SSD's I can get with the configurator.

I selected the other things you listed but the price only budged upwards over my budget, and as far as I can tell the other things would increase the price even more.

Do I even need to use the configurator then? I assumed this is how I built the build I want, and then I buy the PC from here, but do I have to buy everything separately on different pages?

I ask this as I have my current Pc from PC Specialist, and that's how they do it.

That is a list of parts to buy separate and build it.

See if OcUK will build it? ask in customer services and they may give you a quote..

Okay, I wanted to have Overclockers build it as I have no confidence in myself building a computer, no matter how much people tell me it's easy. I just want piece of mind someone who knows what they are doing is building it for me.
 
Okay from what I can tell my specs are good. I'll ditch that PCI-e SSD and just use the 1TB EVO. Not much more to ask just got to get saving and then buy this beast.
