If you really want the gtx 1080 then go for it. I'm just showing you all you really need so as not to waste money.   The gtx 1080 for that game and monitor is overkill.   You could Google csgo with the gtx 1070 and see how it performs.   Nothing wrong getting a stronger card if the money is there.

I just put in the 1 TB drive as an example. Try to stay with Western Digital Black, an excellent drive with proven reliability and longer warranty.

If you don't mind some overkill then go for it.   32gb ram is too much but it doesn't hurt, so up to you.

Looks like a nice powerful rig.
