    Saved you a hundred atleast and better overall performance. Also I would degrade the case and use that money to get the watercooling for cpu.

    Also definately dont buy windows key from og source. I can sell youy a pro one for 5€

    Intel generally is built with Nvidia graphics and AMD with AMD Radeon GPU.

    Pasi has made a great PC (note the 750w PSU) but what do you want from/with/out of it?

    For example you could save some of the money on the build and get dual/tri curved monitors. https://www.quietpc.com/images/products/asus-xg35vq-front-large.jpg

    Also if you want to go full Republic of Gamers (RoG) like the Mobo, get a RoG Strix GPU as well if you like things to be the same inside. (needs big case)

    why not get an i7-9700k instead? the motherboard you are buying is designed for it (even if the older i7-8700k will work on it)

    also i would say dont get a hard-drive if you dont have to, i took mine out and bought that ssd you are getting and my pc is way more silent
    also you can get a windows 10 key from here - softwaregeeks.co.uk / i got one for a different pc i built & not had any issues, you can look up reviews for it too

    There's other factors to consider, do you want it to be a quiet PC? Do you want a specific aesthetic look? I.e. transparent side window.

    Unless you're running games at 4k or multiple monitors honestly you don't need to spend as much as you are for what you want (from what I can tell). 1000-1500 is a suitable budget IMO.

    I'd put my budget into silent gaming, this case is beautiful https://www.scan.co.uk/3xs/products/info/2901312 and you've got the viewing window for aesthetics. 3xs also build for you if you're interested.

    If you do go for a RoG Strix GPU and a mid-tower case, remember you'll have to remove some bays to fit space for it. It's very long.

    the i7-9700k would run cooler as it is soldered to the IHS (the piece of metal on the top)
    - this is a good comparison vid
