That build looks super to me. I would've picked a little different drives, but that's just me. What you have is plenty fast. The 1080Ti will game all the way to 4K monitor. |

I just found out that primary drive you picked is SATA and thus limited to the much slower interface.
We like to recommend the Samsung 970 PRO for its 5 year warranty, speed and reliability. If that's not in your budget, I highly recommend the 970 EVO instead of the DS SATA part. You get true NVM Express speed and a 3 year warranty from Samsung for only $37 more. You could consider the MSI Pro Carbon motherboard. It, too has wi-fi built in, saves a little dough, and you get much better customer responsiveness from MSI than Asus should you ever need it. Think hard if you really want/need 32 GB of RAM. At today's prices it's pretty expensive. If you aren't doing mostly editing as opposed to your other uses, you'll never even know it's there for you. Just some thoughts.... |

I misread and thought you already ordered it. If not then go with Cretae's suggestions if you can.

One more Quick question, sorry for if this sound silly but does RAM affect how a stream runs.

Ram does effect how smooth your gaming and streaming together will perform. If you stream your gaming at higher resolutions like 4K, you might consider keeping the 32gb ram.
