What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.
General use with some gaming and probably playing around with some VM's. I like to overbuild for what I need, I'm hoping to get a solid 5-8 years from the build with minimum changes but still like to experience what top end feels like initially.
If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings)
Currently running a 24" 1920x1200 Dell IPS monitor. Going for 60fps max settings on anything I throw at it for the next 3 years or so before needing to start to turn down settings.
What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?
Soft cap of around 2K
In what country are you purchasing your parts?
Canada
Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please)
I would like to point out I already own a Western Digital 2TB Black drive and already own the Fractal Design R5 case and Corsair ax760 PSU.

Let me know where my follies are and if there is any value added I can get by making adjustments. I'm considering getting a 1080ti but i'm not sure if that would be a waste of money or not. They are significantly more expensive in Canada.
Edit -
Motherboard switched out for Asrock Extreme4
Changed out CPU cooler to Noctua
Changed GTX 1080 to a different brand
Changed to 500GB M2 Drive
Changed to 1080Ti
