    All the options make sense depending on what you'll play the most, and in which resolution you will do that.

    Here's another suggestion, with overclocking capability which you will probably appreciate down the road in a few years. I think a more balanced of the last build of Arturius, without an 390X which is not needed for 1080p but getting a better mobo and case. Also you don't really need 16gb of ram for gaming and honestly if you need more down the road you can add more. Making a micro build to make a little different but can surely be made atx if you want that.
