thanks for the input. I will be looking through everything and making adjustments to it today and I will post an updated partpicker today or tomorrow. I've also decided to go way different on the GPU since nvidia just announced the next series and at most we are 9 months away from another price drop and new series.

So I just got back from work and have done some research the two most tempting to me are the 980 ti and the 1070.. is it worth saving the extra money to get the 980 ti or should i get the 1070 seeing as they seem to be the same and sometimes the 980 ti beats the 1070...

So currently planning a build which is another thing in itself. But I have a quick question I'm hoping yall can help me with. With the announcement of the new Nvidia graphics cards planned for a release in june or earlier which is at most 9 months out. I personally think it would be silly for me to buy a top tier graphics card until they release as 20 series prices may go down. So I am simply looking for the most bang for my buck GPU that can play games at 1080p at 144hz and possibly utilize some 1440p but its not a major deal as I am planning to upgrade whenever the release happens. Sorry for the drawn out paragraph. What do you think would be the best bang for your buck that'll get me to that point?

@paddy-stone I marked it as the secondary option. I may go with it but i don't know if it will be worth it over the other one. I'm basically paying for rgb and a 3rd m2 slot. @Adamaka MSI GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB GAMING X TRIO Video Card

1. Budget & Location Overall I am happy with the price. If I can afford to decrease the price for the same or better performance, even better. I am not afraid to buy used, renewed or open box part depending on the part to save money. 2. Aim I am a gamer and soon to be youtube and twitch streamer after this is built. The aim of this build really is to celebrate my journey with a great reward once I reach a year of sobriety. Its been a long road, but I've almost done it 344 days as of this posting. I've never really treated myself to a truly amazing build but I am also all about saving money and packing an affordable punch. I also want a ton of or as much RGB I can get for an affordable price. 3. Monitors I want to use up to possibly 3 monitors but I will probably settle for 1 or two for a while. My monitors are outdated. I am currently using a LG Flattron w2340vg atr 1080p 60hz. I want to come into the present and future and get a nice curved 1440p or 1080p monitor at 144hz or more. 4. Peripherals I will be using windows 10 and have already bought my keyboard, mouse, headset (although the headset is a corsair rgb void, thats a couple years old and i'd consider buying a new rgb headset) I need to buy a monitor as I am way out of date. 5. Why are you upgrading? I havn't had a gaming rig in over a year after I moved into los angeles I ran into some trouble and had to sell my PC. I am "upgrading" because I am currently gaming on a dell laptop with 8gb of memory and a 1050 4gb graphics card.
