Need help/advice on ANY last minute changes!

[Zakaryy]

Hey, I've already set up an order for a desktop computer - which I plan on using as my gaming computer + my regular day-to-day usage computer.
My order is currently sitting in Pre-production (5th working day as of writing)

I don't have any concerns about my build but I've never ordered a custom build like this before. Just wondering if I should make any changes.
I had a few reads about saying thermal paste isn't needed with this cooling + I read that I don't need a wifi network card as the MoBo has one built on?
This is the kind of advice I need. Thanks. Should I swap the network card or remove it etc. etc...

I didn't have a budget when I first ordered it but anywhere between £2,000-£2,500 seems to be okay, if i had to have one.

The Z370E does indeed have onboard wifi and bluetooth.

Also the wifi card you've chosen is super expensive and probably not worth it if you're not shuffling lots of data around your home networks to various network storage devices etc.

1st Hard Disk
1TB WD BLACK 3.5" WD1003FZEX, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64MB CACHE (7200rpm)

This is extremely expensive and almost guaranteed to not be worth it vs a regular 7200rpm drive.

Processor Cooling
Corsair H110i Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler

This is a very high end cooler. It's just not necessary, since you're not overclocking. A CM212x or the Noctua air cooler would be generously more than enough.

I had a few reads about saying thermal paste isn't needed with this cooling

That's not quite it, I think I'd more that if you're not overclocking, you don't really need a high end cooler, and you also don't need the better thermal paste. If you are overclocking, then you want a high end cooler, and the better paste too.

You could buy a pre-overclocked system.

Power Supply
CORSAIR 650W VS SERIES™ VS-650 POWER SUPPLY

I'd suggest the TXm series PSU as they're better quality and modular.

Extra Case Fans
2x 120mm Black Case Fan (configured to extract from rear/roof)

There's not much point to these given the 2 preinstalled fans, the 2 fans on the cooler, and the location of the remaining fan mount slots.

Graphics Card
11GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1080 Ti - HDMI, 3x DP GeForce - GTX VR Ready!

Why this graphics card? what monitor are you pairing it with?

But the main question still with all of these builds is why the GTX 1080 ti?
