New system build and advice

Deffers · 6 Jul 2016 at 21:15

Hi

I am thinking about getting the system below built in the next few weeks. Does this look like a well balanced, both cost and performance, system??

In Win full tower black and red
Asus Maximus vIII ranger motherboard
I7-6400
Corsair Hydro 105 240mm
Team group elite 16gb DDR4
Samsung 500gb solid state drive
Seagate 2tb hard drive
ASUS gtx 1080 direct cu strix
XFS XTR 850w 80 plus gold
TP-link 300mps wireless
Windows 10
Corsair Raptor k40 keyboard
Corsair gaming CG SABRE mouse
ASUS PG278Q Rog swift monitor
Micro lab m700 40w speakers

Any advice or savings to the final cost, such as maybe an i5 istead of the i7 would be gratefully received.

Looks ok to me, does the case have space for the AIO cooler?

I would also personally get 3000Mhz RAM as im guessing the one you've picked is the 2400Mhz kit?

Yes I was thinking of the 2400Mhz, would I see an improvement with the 3000Mhz??

i'm really not sure, but the case can be changed. Thanks for pointing it out I can check with the Overclockers guys.
