Ok well I'm good at sneaking around but I never seem to kill them instantly while sneaking.

At the time, I wasn't into mods ... but I got a real nice stealth suit from Nexis that had a small quest along with it in order to get it. I forget the name of it and it's author but I believe it took the ordinary stealth thingy duration from about 2 min. to 24/7. Only would be attacked if an NPC or whatever actually ran into you. But was fun watching NPC's walk right by you and not see you as long as you stayed still. Made my 2nd work through very much more enjoyable.

Woah woah woah
wtf u doin
drop those stats down to 9 and put those points into endurance for implants
Perception has 0 effect on gun accuracy without mods
If you have the DLC, drop those points on intelligence too, the level cap is higher and there's more skill books

I love sneaky sniper builds, but I think having only 1 strength is going to limit cap income because you won't be carrying much loot back to town to sell, or it will increase time played having to make multiple trips to sell loot. 1 point of endurance limits the implants you can get later, as well as leaving you with less overall health, and 1 charisma will hurt with vendor prices and getting past conversation checks.

There's not going to be much difference at lower levels having stats so high, but it will make a huge difference in the early game to have stats so low. Starting with high intelligence helps for skill focused builds, so I'd lower perception, luck, and agility to 7 each, put those points into str/end/cha, and then take Intense Training perks to increase per/agi/luck as I level up.

Unless the point of that build is to provide an extra challenge to the game, then bravo, you nailed it. ;)

High int equals more skill points and perception helps you know where the enemies are.

Besides what implants are good any ways?

Don't double post, just edit your original response.
Yes, I know exactly what INT and Perception do. Like I said, if you have the DLC, you won't need that much INT. Perception is also kind of useless because ED-E exists, and even if you go Lone Wolf, you can see them from pretty far off anyways. and besides, as for implants, you can get SPECIAL implants to raise your stats to 10, which means it would make 0 sense to have them at 10 from the beginning.

I have to wonder what kind of weapons you plan to use with that 1 strength.

And if you plan to sneak a lot, I dunno if you will need that much luck, because sneak attack criticals don't depend on your luck.

I put luck in because idk what else to invest in and if I had more str I'd hoard so 1 str forces me to stay light.

Well with low strength, you are gonna be hurting no matter what weapon you use, especially with marksman weapons. Only a handful of early game weapons have a strength requirment of 1.

If you don't want to hoard, that's your own business, but it feels like you are crippling quite a bit about your character for it, when some careful inventory managment would work just as well.

As for luck, 7ish seems more reasonable to me, but it rather depends on what perks you want to take. That applies to your other stats as well, without knowing what key perks you want, There isn't too much I can offer.

As a total, your built just seems too specialized, such low endurance means you are gonna be really squishy in actual combat, and so few implants. Low strength means almost never meeting a strength requirment for a weapon, and little inventory space. I do agree with the low charisma, because it's just good for companion nerve, and I personally don't bother with companions.

Besides stealth is going light as possible and low endurance means avoid all possible fights.

Not to be rude, but in my current playthrough, my normal loadout never goes below 150 weight (it's hardcore, so that includes ammo) and I can sneak just fine.

And some fights you just can't avoid, short of not going through with the quest or using a stealth boy.
