What about the software? Is it easy to use? 

Hi everyone, I am choosing between the Deepcool cf120 and cooler master masterfan mf120r argb.
they are at the same price right now in my local store but I dont know which one is better.
Do you guys have any idea? What about the software I will use to control them? Which brand has a better software?
Thanks

The big questions are.
1) what exactly do you plan to stuff into it? 
2) what are you case goals? Meshify says you want airflow. 
 
Razer 011 is a waste imo over just a O11 dynamic. If you want airflow get an O11 Air. I have a O11 dynamic and love it. Quality is good and had a ton of configuration options. Heck you can get a replacement front glass that’s a custom loop resivour and pump!

They are the exact same case except for the front panel and the RGB. The whole "worse quality" is kind of a meme.
Razer has been known for having bad QC but, the case isn't being manufactured by them so, no need to worry.

Well im pretty sure its actually being produced by lian li thereby it probably actually has pretty good build quality. Personally im not to big of a fan of razer and would prefer a different case (you can get tempered glass cases with rgb for cheaper) but if thats what you like than go for it man

pretty sure it's Lian Li building the pc, Razer's just licensing their brand. So if Lian Li is good build quality, it's probably good build quality.

not that bad. sure it's not going to be silent, but other cheap 1070s like the Zotac mini and Asus dual arent quiet at stock either.

You might be able to overclock them beyond 3000MHz, but bear in mind that anything beyond advertisement is not guaranteed, and also that technically having memory running at 3000MHz is already considered an overclock. Even if memory is advertised to run at those speeds, it doesn't necessarily mean the CPU's memory controller is up to the task, and thus it's still not guaranteed. 
 
For the graphics card, I would just go with the 1070, and I believe you can overclock a little on the stock cooler, though it may not be by much and temperatures may not be necessarily ideal either.

1070 is better for your requirements, but 1070ti & 1080 are much better value.
 
nope, unless 1070 underclocks.
 
yes, but dont expect much on top of XMP settings
 
you can.

You're going to want a 1070 at least for a 1440p Ultrawide if you want to push settings. A GTX 1060 overclocked can't really touch GTX 1070 performance, and overclocking the GTX 1070 would just increase the gap.
 
Overclocking RAM won't increase performance in any significant way, and overclocking the CPU will have a lesser effect since the monitor is so high resolution (though there should be a little headroom on the Wraith Stealth.)

1070TI would be a much better choice for 1440p UW gaming than the 1070.

Depends on what kind of unit you get.
 
I'd look for a Seasonic Focus Gold in the 550-650W range or the Corsair CX550M.

The 1070Ti is close to a 1080 so it'll be better than the standard 1070.
 
Take a look at the CX650 if you don't want to spend too much on a PSU oh and get a case with decent airflow otherwise the card might start throttling, you shouldn't go for a "mini " card as it'll overheat more and faster, go for a regular sized card

You guys are the best! thanks everyone

Well yeah if he can budget it in then of course, case fans consume like 5w each or something so its good if he plans to overclock or upgrade

1. see if you can get some 2800-3200mhz ram.
3. they're not strictly needed but having an extra 1-2 fans will help lower temps.
4. yes, but the M12 is old as dirt and missing protections. get a coolermaster masterwatt instead.
5. they're software that lets your system communicate with the hardware it's using. you'll need to install them.

Oh Canada! I would look in the United States at stores like micro center for cheaper 1070's. G skill has different models and price ranges I am sure you could find a cheaper 16gb ram. Everything else looks good 
 
Guy above me says 600w PSU. Just to be safe i'd go 650w, but i wouldn't go any more than that. 

a 600w is more future proof.
if he would add more fans and he would oc at least the extra 200w will come in handy.

I think you've made some great choices, a 1070 is great for 1440p gaming
 
520W power supply is sufficient, I'd say not much point going above 600W - in this case I would be more concerned about the quality of the PSU since your specs really only use 350-400W load (from what I've read, the evo version seems better if you can get it, although the standard version is still great)
 

 
In case you aren't completely sure I am using a 1070, DDR3 ram and a 3rd gen i7 with a 450W mini-itx power supply. No issues at all.

If your going for a Motherboard that has 4 slots for RAM then I'd go the 2x4 route for better performance over a single 8gb RAM stick at the same speed. For gaming you won't really need more than 16gb which is also good for even graphic design and video encoding at the lesser half of RAM demand, to be fair 4x4 would perform better than 2x8 or 1x16 for when you decide to upgrade (16gb is plenty for gaming and I'd say go one step up in RAM speeds from the default end of speeds say ddr4 at 2400MHz).
Next I would recommend a $60 1tb HDD if you don't have one already to pull with a 7200rpm (a hybrid drive may be found for similiar prices, like Western Digital which I've never had issues with)
Also I would say stay with the stock fans and cooler to see your performance perhaps you will like what you got going on.
Have you considered getting a Zotac GTX 1080 mini? Its practically the same price as a EVGA 1070 and is better than a 1070ti for about $560-600USD, from Amazon.
Also if you don't care about looks (which I don't aside from my case) you can save in that department with your RAM (I don't mind green sticks).
 
So all in all my recommendations if they apply in Canada as reasonable:
1. Two 4gb RAM sticks at 2400MHz
2. Stock Fans/Cooler (upgrade of necessary)
3. Zotac GTX 1080 (mini)
4. 1TB WD 7200RPM HDD (64mb cache or more)
5. Enermax PSUs
6. A cheapo small sized SSD as a pagefile (used off eBay)
7. A used CPU from a highly rated vender on eBay
My suggestions may save you upfront maybe $200, but I'm going off United States.

If you go with a single 8 gig stick then when you get another stick get the same as you first purchased it pretty much guarantees your motherboard will run it rated dual channel for you.
 
If you go with 2x4 Gig in the interim you'll get greater overall performance, but the move to 16GB will potentially cost quite a bit more unless you snag another 2x4 Gig kit with same clock speed and timing. If you go with a kit over 2400MHZ then make sure to set the XMP profile.

1. since your buying a seperate gpu i suggest getting the 1st gen so that compatibility is more assured.
2. if you can only afford single 8 go single 8 instead of 2x4 your safe bet is 2400 
3. get at least 3 fans  extra depending on the installed fan size. Or get it depending if you want to optimize airflow.
4. change your psu to at least 600w or 800 for future proof just in case your going to add extra stuff.
5. some drivers installed after windows are just to optimize your hardware which is very much recommended.
Good luck
If you have any questions just let me know message or continue this thread.
 

Possibly switch to this PSU. Costs a little bit less and forum list rates it higher,

Could also increase PSU cost and go with a higher end Seasonic PSU: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/KmgzK8/seasonic-focus-gold-550w-80-gold-certified-semi-modular-atx-power-supply-ssr-550fm
 
Also the mobo has 4 headers specifically for case fans so I'd say double up on your fan of choice. Case includes 2 fans and has room for 2 additional 140MM fans. For a combined DBa CFM and Price comparison those Cooler Master fans are pretty awesome up in Canada at the moment.
 
 

1) If you can buy the board in person, you can try checking the BIOS there for a B350. But if I recall correctly, you need another cpu with the latest BIOS to update the BIOS.
2) If you need to shave off some extra $ off your build, you can go with a lower wattage psu (maybe 500 to 600w?), but don't cut the costs on the PSU too much as for it's an essential component. Fans, you can look around for some used ones if need be. If you want to cut prices though, try cutting the case or storage prices. 
3) Yes, you can go with a smaller case, but the next smallest size is m-atx. That requires a different sized mobo and are generally harder to work in as far as cable management goes. Also, non-atx motherboards are less common, and therefore upgrading the mobo later on while keeping the case will be challenging. 
4) You just missed prime day and Newegg sales. The next best time will probably be right before and right after the new nvidia and new Intel cpu's are announced.
5) It's definitely a solid build. If you can't afford some hardware, remember that you can always upgrade later on.
 
Edit: You can also cut some costs by going with used components. Hardware like cases, cpu fans, working ram, and working motherboards are components that should be fine getting used as long as they are functional and kept in good condition. Don't go with used gpu's or cpu's unless you want to pick up old mining hardware. 

A lot of stuff so I'll answer the easy one right away
 
 
3. No. You have an ATX motherboard that will only fit inside ATX cases which most of them are the same size
 
 
I'll get working on the others.
