Storage - Boot Drive: Samsung 960 Pro 512GB - Samsung makes some of the fastest NVMe based M.2 SSDs, and the 960 Pro is one of them, and MSI's motherboard can take two of these drives.Video Card: MSI GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X Trio 11GB - Based on NVIDIA's famous Pascal architecture, this GTX 1080 Ti features a beastly triple fan radiator, RGB LEDs, and comes overclocked out of the box!.Memory: G.Skill TridentZ 3600MHz 8GBx2 3600MHz - It's best to make sure the kit you choose is on the qualified vendor list of the motherboard, but you are pretty safe with two sticks of memory rated at 3600Mhz and below.While a custom watercooling setup is typically the way to go, more users are turning to all in ones for their ease of use. Cooler: Corsair H100i GT - I used this cooler because I had an extra, but I wanted to make sure to use a double radiator AIO.Motherboard: MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon - The MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon/AC offers an excellent balance of features at a very reasonable price, it also supports a wide variety of LED technologies.However, if you want to save a few dollars, going with an 8600K or even something like an i5-8400 are decent alternatives CPU: Intel Core i7 8700K - The 6-core 12-thread 8700K is one of the best gaming CPUs on the market.I will discuss each part, why I chose it, and what you might want to change.


The rest of this build was done with components I chose to reduce bottlenecks and optimize compatibility you can change the part selection depending on your needs.
