I don't understand that first joke. But for the shopping list, I'm not really a computer builder. It took me months to build my new one and I'm still not sure if I made the right choices. If there's enough money, I'd probably get an X370 board for the overclocking power / future proofing instead of a cheaper B350 board. 16 gigabytes of RAM is the absolute minimum IMO. Don't cheap out on the PSU, at least semimodular is good so you don't have useless extra cables. I have the Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB 650W and it's 80+ Gold and has a silent fan up to a point, at least I like it. Also no floppy power cable (it's an adapter).

Don't make me explain my joke   Someone will get it, and giggle.

Yes, I too use TT PSU's (the high end ones). Our unraid server has the multi-rail toughpower 850W, 100% modular. I would not buy a PSU for this system that is not modular (cable management).

So you're leaning toward ASUS for the mobo as well? In my mind, I'd look at ASUS or Gigabyte. But again, my build experience is a bit outdated.
