Hello there, not gonna lie, im not the best part picker so i would appreciate your advices.
First of all i always wanted to get a high end build, but for now i want to get at least 50%(since im lacking some of money and bored af) of it as my first self bought pc, so at later date i can just changes some parts of it to achieve my goal.
Im missing almost everything,the only thing i got is a some sort of tv/monitor (luxor) from my brother, later on i would like to switch to aoc monitors.
The build i created:
CPU Intel® Core™ i5-7600K Processor 6M Cache, up to 4.20 GHz
CPU Cooler Corsair H100i v2 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
GPU MSI Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB / ASUS GTX 1070 8GB
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-Z270X-Gaming K5 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory
Storage Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Storage2 Crucial MX300 525GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Case Phanteks ECLIPSE P400 ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply Corsair RMx 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Case Fan NoiseBlocker NB-ELoop B12-2 51.1 CFM 120mm Fan x2
Keyboard and Mouse Rii RK400 Large Size 7 Color LED Backlit Keyboard Mouse Combo Bundle or some other bundle
Headset Tracer OUTLAW
Monitor AOC E2270SWDN 21.5" DVI VGA Monitor
Everything checked with a [Link removed], but you know, its better to get any advices from a person rather than a calculator :D
My budget is flexible, if you can make it cheaper with similar result it would be great
Regards

Since these forums belong to PCSpecialist who sell custom built PCs and laptops I'm afraid we cant advise on self-builds or builds from elsewhere, however if you'd consider a PCSpecialist build let us know your budget and what you'll be using the PC for.

If is it possible i would like to get pc from you Guys. I prefer to rely on specialists since expensive builds can get overclocked and i'm kinda scared to do it, haven't done it yet in my entire life so i'm gonna trust specialists instead.
My budget is really flexible, i can save some more money to get better parts but lets start from about 800£-1000£

I don't think you'd get an overclocked PC (at least not one really worth buying, assuming it's for gaming) in that price range. For many games you may be better off with a stock clocked i7 instead.

I don't think the spec you posted above would be £1000, it looks like it would be well over that given the expensive cooler, ssd, etc. So the below may not really be comparable. However, for ~£1000

It looks good.

I'd suggest the PM961 SSD over the Kingston one as it's a lot faster for not much more cash. The Kingston is slower than a decent Sata SSD.
