    note: you could probably find a 3070/ti for 500 if you look for it, but partpicker has only extremely expensive gpus it seems, so the 3060 is really just a placeholder even though its a decent gpu at an ok price.
     
    no mechanical storage drive, we don't do that here ssd only (seriously trust me with such a fast system you *don't* want to have slow ass storage,  even for gaming, direct storage is also about to take off, allegedly...)
     
     
     
    EDIT: oh you said 1000 (goodbye 3070ti i guess!) but here you go, still a good system.

    Maybe look into a Ryzen 5 5600x based system with a B550 motherboard. The CPU prices are decreasing and DDR4 also. See what GPU you can get to play at 1440p, if you want Nvidia, I would go rtx 2060 and up (3060 if you can). Not sure how realistic it is in your market. You may want to consider second hand..? You may also want to consider AMD GPUs, as they're cheaper and you get better value out of them at the moment, especially on the used market.

    Start a pcpartpicker list to make it more concrete and based on your local market.

    Although that's a subjective opinion, I'd have to say that the difference between HD518 and HD558 is quite noticeable for me. Afaik they use different drivers and a slightly different "airflow design", meaning the open/closed character of the 518s differs quite a bit from the 558s/598s. I find them to sound more closed than the other two. But regarding 558/598 the way I usually recommend is: If you can get a great deal on the 598s go for it, if you're at normal prices go for the 558s and be happy with them - the difference is just to small to justify the price-delta.
    HD650s would be the next tier of Sennheiser headphones I'd personally be willing to pay the higher price.

    Well thank guys for all the suggestions, so what I'm having trouble now is to choose either the HD598 or HD558. From what I have heard they sound different but can be modded (HD558), but to be brutally honest I dont want to do that because of the warranty.
    So for overall better sound quality should I just buy the Sennehiser HD 598?

    To be honest, I had to really listen to hear the difference after I removed the foam. It sounds a tad more open and "big" now. 
     
       
     You would be good to go with either. (As Hyrikan said, they sound very similair) I would say buy whatever you can find a great deal on.

    598's are more suited in my opinion for everyday listening:
    - Impedance on the 598's is 50 Ohm, versus 95 on the HD8 DJ's. +1 598's
    - 12-38,500 vs. 8-30,000: +1 598's
    - HD8 DJ's are closed, which is something most people wouldn't want in a quiet environment, whereas the 598's have an open design.
      This gives them a more natural listening experience and a bigger soundstage. +1 (for most people, not everyone)
    - The HD8 DJ's come with a carrying case and two types of cables: +2 for the HD8 DJ's (In peripherals, not sound)
    - Also, may I add that on Amazon.com the 598's are $180, but the HD8 DJ's are $390? That's a BIG difference, more than twice as expensive! +2
     
    Final score: HD 598's: 5, HD8 DJ's: 2. I think that says it all.
     
    I'd go with the HD 598's if I were you. I have a pair and I've never regretted buying them. They're amazing.

    If you have a custom one pro don't bother with the HD8. HD8s are good headphones but the price addition you pay over the Custom One Pros is purely for looks and comfort. They are both close headphones with good sound, but the price delta of the HD8s doesn't really make any difference considering the sound.
    The HD598s on the other hand are open headphones and deliver a completly different hearing experience. The base isn't nearly as booming as on a closed headphone, but often mids and highs are more precise and sound a more natural. (Natural meaning sitting in front of the musician recording the sound).
    The Custom One Pro is an excellent headphone. So imo you should only buy the HD598s if you seek a new experience. If you really like the sound signature of the Custom One Pro, don't bother switching. Save your money and be happy.

    Rain... the scourge of the night driver! Too many times have distracting droplets proved an annoyance for those traveling roads after dark.
    New technology co-developed by Intel and Carnegie Mellon University could one day change all that. I've spoken to Intel about the new tech, so hit play on the video above to find out how it works.
    Instead of relying on a bog-standard bulb to beam light out over a darkened road, the futuristic setup would use something more akin to a projector.
    Meanwhile a camera sits nestled beneath that projector, keeping an eye on drops of rain as they enter the headlights' beams. Information from that camera is sent to a processing unit, which identifies raindrops and makes a guess as to where each droplet is headed.
    You'll need a powerful projector to make it work though, and obviously cramming a camera, projector and processing unit into the front of your car will be more expensive than a normal bulb.The projector then blots out the bits of its projection where the rain drops are. The result is a light that shines out from the front of a carin the dark, but doesn't highlight any rain.
    As a result, don't expect to see this technology squeezed into cars any time soon. Intel reckons we'll see it inside new vehicles within a decade, though.
