First PC Build - think I'm about ready
What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.**
workstation, rendering/3d modeling/photoshopping and VR in future
If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings)
no gaming (losing a lot of your interests now), but for 3d modeling want to be able to maneuver and work in large files?
What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?
$2000 roughly
In what country are you purchasing your parts?
US

I'm finally nearly ready to build, I've been on here a few times trying to get help. Suggestions are great in terms of if something is off, but also if you have a smaller case that can still fit all this, please recommend! The R5 dimensions are beefy, but I will live if that seems to be best. I think I'd like the optical drive, but it's not required and I could just get an external. Also, I have a 1080 graphics card because at my microcenter it is nearly the price of some 1070s, so.. why not. And no, I realize Ryzen is out there and I'm sticking with the Intel build. I'm buying the K for future OC capabilities, but I won't be off the bat. So I felt the cryorig cpu cooler was sufficient. But again, if not let me know.
Otherwise, thoughts? I'm going to try and buy this week!
EDIT: Also my mobo is most likely going to be an Asus Z270 Prime AR because that is all my microcenter has and I think I'm going to get it there for a bundle over newegg
