Does anyone here have a Suzuki Cappuccino? I'm semi seriously considering buying one for a nice weather daily driver

Asus Z370-E Strix
 
Cheapest good-looking 16Gb RAM Kit you can find
 
Corsair H100i v2

I would swap the PSU for an 850 watt PSU at least.
Made a couple tweaks:
The CPU cooler was just to give extra cooling capacity but you can definitely swap it back out for the H100i v2

I hope they do not make us one community. Xbox to PS4, sure. But PC players will always have an advantage in PvP.

You buy me a copy and we will totally play together
 
On a serious note, I'm waiting on a price drop and to get a better view of the game. I've sank money into too many bad games at this point.

how many dups of this deal do we need posted?

a single better card will almost always be better than dual lesser cards.

tl;dr wants 4k, 1 1070 isnt enough, 2 1070s or 1 1080ti
 
2 1070s are close in performance to  a 1080 non ti so id say sell the 1070 and buy a 1080ti

Wait until the actual reviews of Coffee Lake come out, then decide. 

there's the wheelstand pro, tho i heard it's not wholly stable at a pinch 
 
also the GT omega stand http://usa.gtomegaracing.com/gt-omega-steering-wheel-stand 
 
or you can do a DIY project. plenty of sim racers done that

You don't need to upgrade, you already have a 7700k!
 
I'd get Ryzen 3 or 5 if you can afford it, they provide an excellent upgrade path and are one of the newest platforms that are worth buying. Alternatively you could wait for Coffee Lake.

The VSX-531 should be fine, at 6ohms (which your speakers are 4/6) the receiver outputs 140W (Power Output: Watts per Channel (1kHz,1%THD@6ohm 1ch Driven)140 Watts)
 
You have to watch the ohms on your speakers, my R-15m are 8ohms and can output 80W, but your speakers are 6ohms so you should be fine.
 
But I am just one opinion.

Ah, yeah that should be fine.  you could do 7.1 then, assuming those cubes come apart?   Those are really just for the occasional effect, your front and to an even larger degree your centre is really the most important

That's $410 and $285ish converted to USD, for those with sticker shock PTSD.

There is no such thing as an HDMI2.0 cord, just get a good quality HDMI cord and it will work.
