Need more info. With that setup you'll be playing on a 4k monitor I assume?

I will be playing on a Asus ROG PG279Q I believe its called.
Will be used for gaming and editing all kinds of stuff. Dont think budget when helping me, just think performance.

B&H does not have the cpu in stock its preorder, PCPP list it as in.

OT, its a decent build, If your happy with it, pull the trigger! My only question would be do you need a 8700K, what else are you doing besides gaming?

I'd get the ASrock Taichi, it's basically a top class board for the same price of Strix-E. It has the same black+silver+rgb theme.
