So I'm new to the PC master-race, and I'm just trying to figure out what to buy and build for my first PC. I have a current budget of about $1200 (USD) but I'm willing to go a little bit higher. I am planning to run this system on one 1440p display. I'm not 100% positive what I'm going to use my new PC for but I'll probably play games like rainbow, fortnite, pubg, battlefield, gta, etc. I'll also probably use it to try coding (C++ or Java) maybe.
And no I'm not hugely brand specific, but, in the future, I think I would want to upgrade to an OC cpu (unlocked whatever).
my gpu selection >>>I would not purchase the GPU(1070 founders) now cuz of those pesky miners. I would probably try to find one physically MSRP or wait until prices drop. (I heard they're going to drop soon?)
I don't need more than 500 GB now. But I'll probably buy an HDD. A barracuda 2tb maybe.
I know I'm paying a little extra for the memory, but I heard that RGB ram triples the performance of the memory sticks itself.
