Hi all,

I am planning to build my first PC (white theme with RGB effect).
I mainly use it for gaming (NBA2k, Dota2) and some engineering software (CAD & Solidworks).

Parts are as below,

Processor-i5-8600k
MB-Asus ROG STRIX Z370-E
GPU-Galax 1080 HOF
Memory-G.Skill Trident Z 3000 RGB 16GB
SSD-Samsung 960 Evo M.2 250GB
HDD-Seagate Firecuda SSHD 1T
CPU Cooler-NZXT Kraken X52
PSU-Cooler Master V750 Gold
Case Fan-NZXT Aer 120 RGB Starter Kit
Case-NZXT S340 Elite or Corsair 780t


Is this build OK? Any better alternative parts suggestion?
Would appreciate any advice from you guys.
Still undecided on the case as i preferred 780t design but worry its too big, with so few parts inside gonna look too empty?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the advice.
Damn i choose a bad time to build a pc now huh.
But there is always new stuff coming out so i guess no point waiting.

Noticed that you are using galax 1080 gpu as well. so far so good?
