Recommended system specs are the specs you need to run the game at nice graphical settings with a good frame rate. They mean nothing about how much the hardware will be utilized. 
 
At no point have you mentioned anything about frame rate or how the game actually runs. You've also started threads very much the same as this before:
 
 
I would recommend turning off your hardware utilization monitoring so you stop obsessing over stuff like this and simply enjoy playing games. 

Yeah my bad, was looking at the wrong numbers in Afterburner. Here's what I get while running Kombustor in the background

Dat boost clock though.?

I'm talking about actual frequency, I can't care less about the base and boost.
 
Not happening, even liquid nitrogen pushes a 1080ti to about 3GHz only

AOC has good products also.

Why not stick with the stock cooler?

try on stock voltage and put power limit to its max. then try a little lower core/memory oc and see if that helps. 

If just the cpu ram and mobo, yes. Dont buy a gpu in this market

if you are using it as a boot device i would reccommend the M.2 drive. eventough it might not be an obvious difference, it might help when you have a lot of programs starting with windows.

Personally speaking the only reason to get M.2 is if you're making a super small build and needs every free space you can use, if you're making a normal computer the Evo SATA 3 option gets my vote.

You probably wouldn't see a big enough difference to actually care. Most people don't notice the difference between NVMe drives and normal SATA3 speeds. I would recommend the Samsung 860 just for the extra 10Gb space and it's cheaper.

Annnd lest I forget, REAL men use power washers for ALL their cleaning needs. It will even get rid of all those metallic spider webs found on the back of PCB's. >.>
 

All i need is a number, how hard is it to say oh 2000 is safe, or something you dont gotta tell me to do shit THAT is the whole point is asking so you dont need to comment if you dont have anything useful so fuck off

Wow this really was the worst info i could've gotten, no shit i just dont know whats a safe boost i dont need to know i can over clock something that is overclock able 

Yea, try it... and report back or fuck off.....

lmao, dont ask about safety and then shit on someone for saying it will be safe, youre clearly a big boy, go oc and report back...

lmao, you must play league, 2000 is a well binned 1070, the amp edition 1080ti is dog poop at cooling so i have no idea about temps, memory is however high you take it
 
youre asking for a definitive answer on clocks when you are litterally playing the lottery, each 1070 will oc differently, you can crank that temp slider higher if you feel comfortable
 
that useful for you?

Provided no bottlenecks or monitor syncs in place ^^

Precisely. But people don't. Cause people are dumbasses.
Maybe they're rare to find in the enthusiast community, but along general users it's pretty common. People are dumb and watch a YouTube video or read a tutorial online and go and try things with no other info. Remember those issues with people drilling holes in their iPhones to get their headphone jack back?
Umm... Then I suck it up and deal with the consequences of my actions like am adult? Or I just overclock super cautiously to avoid something like that happening because I try my best not to be a dumbass? I admit I'm a dumbass sometimes, everyone is, but I try not to be.
If it's a factory defect? Absolutely. That's what the warranty is there to cover. But if it's just you being a dumbass, modded your BIOS and overvolted too aggressively and broke something? Then I'm sorry but at that point you don't deserve a warranty replacement because that's not what a warranty *IS*.

I grew up around firearms. Pistols and rifles, muzzle loaders and cartridge. I fired them all and had good experiences on the ranges with my parents and brothers. Even was taught the proper way to clean and maintain the firearms themselves. Never treated them like toys because they weren't.
 
While in the military, basic training also disabuses people from thinking that weapons are toys, at least my DIs did.
 
That was a stupid image.

If its good i am going to upgrade to it

The EVGA 600W B1 isn't great, but it doesn't suck. I wouldn't change it unless OP wants the upgrade.

nvm don't feed the troll. 

So, i did some research and found out one of the best pre-built pc companies was Origin, so i decided to check out how much money they added to your pc parts, and for building the system, here are the numbers:
 
On the Chronos version, the following upgrades were made:
 
GPU: GTX 1080
 
CPU: i7-7700k
 
SSD: 250GB Samsung 850 Evo Series
 
The final price WITH this upgrades was $2,481 (US dollars)
 
I took every part from the pc, including the MSI H270I Gaming Pro AC  motherboard which is in the system by default and the $50 liquid cooling system and the final price was:
 
*drumroll please*
 
$1,687 US dollars on Amazon
 
At the end the added price you pay is $794 dollars, may i add i did not put warranty on the pc or any type of added optionals,( which would rounf up to $400 dollars more) only the raw system which Origin Pc gives you, with those few upgrades.
So every time you are building your pc and thinking "Why can't i just pay someone to do it?" just think you are making almost $800 an hour by building it yourself and you will be more than happy and content and will continue building your pride and joy.
 
I hope you found this helpful, if you did be sure to like if you didn't hit the imaginary dislike botton, and if Linus notices me i would be very happy too so wink wink to the mods

Disregard the above. Haswell and Skylake are not far enough apart to warrant the new mobo and RAM.
