this link points to the latest build, but the previous one didn't work. It would be helpful if others could check if this version is good.

The PC will perform well. I suggest removing the sound card.
In reality, you'll achieve identical sound quality using the built-in sound cards in your motherboards. Most of them now use the Realtek ACL1150 audio IC, which is excellent.
Giving up the soundcard could save you about $30, allowing you to spend it on games on Steam during the sale season.

That PC will be great. I recommend to ditch the sound card.
IMHO, any sound card nowadays just isnt worth it for MOST people. I say most like that because there are a few people who need them.
But in all reality, youll get the exact same sound quality off your motherboards built in sound card. Most motherboards now use the Realtek ACL1150 audio IC and it is a really great chip.
Ditching the soundcard would save you $30 that you could use to buy some games on steam with while the summer sale is still going on

It looks great with a couple of suggestions:
- a $150 board such as the ASUS 170A would work just as well and save you $50
- why invest so much in a $430 GPU? If I were that close to a 1080, I'd spend the extra on a real 1080
- the Dell S2716DG matches the specs of the ROG and is $120 cheaper; I did my research before buying mine and I'm glad I did
