So I started building my dream-machine and I wanted to know if you guys had any suggestions before I finish buying all of the pieces since it is quite expensive. Also if you find any compatibility issues with the parts.

This is the PC Part Picker list for stage 1: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/kriegtech/saved/yjQf8d which is what I'm buying within the next week.

This is stage 2: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/kriegtech/saved/k6gQVn which I will buy in about five months.

As you can see, I've already bought the 480GB 900P (Got the Star Citizen Sabre Reven with this one ) and the GTX 1080 Ti.

Let me know what you guys think.

Very Impressive specs and extremely well priced.

Good choice with the very latest Core  I7-8700K (release In Q4 of this year), and In particular the GTX 1080 Ti. I have the GTX 1070 and It rocks with almost anything I throw at It. You'll be Impressed with the 1080. As for Corsair components, In my experience you can't go wrong.

I strongly suggest to go ahead with the "32GB" of Ram. Believe me, you will most likely need It and certainly won't regret It.
It's best decision I've made- running 7 VMs simultaneously and 50+ tabs open and still around 14GB available Ram.

That is an amazing build good luck man, I will hopefully be going for a next gen sometime in the future

And with all those Electron JS apps these days, the RAM requirements for general usage are going up.

Nice!

My true ultimate dream build would involve a custom made CPU using a custom architecture, custom coprocessor units (I like the idea of modularity, where you can add coprocessors for things like cryptography or machine learning), custom motherboard, 64GB of RAM, and a custom OS, custom libc, custom language, custom compiler, customized clang (LLVM!), 2x Vega 64 or something, and 5tb in SSD storage.

Since we're outside of reality, a quantom coprocessor unit would be neat.
Actually... Let's go even further and say let's have a Zeno machine.

Back into reality...
A custom 8086 computer!

Let's try being normal for a minute...
RISC-V!

Something used more...
SPARC!

Alright, fuck it, I give up. ?

Stage two does have another 16GB, but I may splurge and get all 32GB with stage one. I haven't decided yet.

I know right?! All these electron apps are starting to drive me a little insane. I used to use Sublime Text and it consumed 100 MB on a BAD day. VSCode, what I use now, consumes about 500 MB right out of the box.

Yes of course. I didn't allow for stage 2 hence only took It as 16GB In total.

Either way, as long as you get 32GB, that's all that matters.

No text editor should take up that much RAM. Get used to a terminal editor and join us

I have that same exact case, it does it job very well to keep everything cool and it's nice and spacy to work with. Very nice for a first time builder too, you won't have trouble with fitting anything in it that's for sure.
