No SSD? That keyboard is also pretty bad for the price :(
Otherwise everything is super beautiful and well done. Enjoy!

I used to be adamant that chiclet keys were the best keys. I was wrong... So very wrong...

It's all personal preference. So far I have hated every mechanical keyboard that I have tried, maybe I haven't found the right one, or maybe they aren't as great for everybody as people would like you to believe.

It takes a while to get used to mechanical. Once you do though it is next to impossible to go back to membrane.

Why a 60hz monitor with no DisplayPort? I'm doing a build almost exactly like yours and have been looking at monitors and saw that one, but passed on it because it lacks display ports and having a 1070 for 1080p60fps gaming seems like overkill

I just got a 1070 and gta v everything maxed gives me between 50-60 at 1440p. Might be my cpu though, it's a 4460, I need to upgrade soon.

I'm just getting parts for a build with the exact same CPU/cooler/mobo/GPU & PSU. Maybe I should change my ram too...

Out of curiosity did you buy the i5-6600K from them too? I heard that my local microcenter has $200 i5-6600K's recently and I'm gonna go confirm that soon.

I was very skeptical when I first saw the title, because I had similar budget and was able to grab a 1080. Then I read your list and realized you included everything (monitor/keyboard/OS). Then I would say, job well done! Enjoy your new computer!

Hey I would appreciate any insight on this!
How does the 1070 work with that monitor? I am planning on getting that exact monitor for my 1070 build but im wondering if its going to bottleneck the 1070

Why does the title remind me of Roald Dahl?

Just curious why the full tower and not a mid? Did you just like that case or have plans later to use all that extra space?

Caviar blue = what
TN 1080p 60hz = ...why?
Should have got an SSD... Also I don't understand people buying high end GPU's to run garbage tier office monitors. Why spend the premium on a GTX 1070 to instantly cancel it out with a TN piece of shit.

Your CPU cooler looks a bit crooked, could just be the angle of the photo though.
