This may have been a bad idea.

This is probably a bad idea. Please don't be too harsh. I am submitting my supposed gaming computer build to the internet. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/HN2FGf There it is! Please review, comment, or even (constructively) criticize.

cheapened the motherboard to fit a 1080 but I would wait till the gaming X card for the 1080 to come back in stock to fit your black/red

 

Also buy a OS from https://www.reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftwareswap for a cheap $30 for win10 buy from a MODERATOR please

Looks good

Save yourself the 50 or so dollars by removing W10 Home from partpicker and just go on r/microsoftsoftwareswap and get a key for $35 ($45 for a Pro key)

 

Could use money saved on a better cooler. Would help that 6600K overclock better especially on that board.

at this type of budget yea running a 1440p 165hz monitor its gonna need the extra horsepower from the 1080

NH-D14. Rivals most of the 240mm AIOs. Because AIOs are poo to begin with.

ok one more question hope you dont mind. Why did you choose that motherboard besides the price? Is the gene normally this expensive?

I chose it because of the price and its just a good motherboard overall

sadly, i dont think ill use it because it doesnt support sli for an upgrade down the road

[TheSuspect]

1. 1440p 165hz. Ehh you may want to look at a 1080.

2. Your monitor is more expensive than my entire build. Just thought I should point that out.

[Cyracus]

Personally not a fan of expensive mobos like that, and would definitely recommend getting your windows license from kinguin or the aforementioned r/microsoftsoftwareswap. And with such an expensive build I'd get a 6700k as well so when dx12 becomes regular use it should see use of all 8 threads, and I'd like to recommend pairing that with the nh u14 but it's too tall for that case... As for the 1080 being worth it, well the monitor has g sync so even if the 1070s frames dip it won't be bad, depends on how long you want to go without upgrading to keep all the settings maxed

I can't seem to find a motherboard with all the features I want an a low price. If you want i can give you a list and you can try but my efforts have been to no sucess

[LordLeewee]

cheaper mobo and a 1080 is a good idea when youre trying to power that monitor.

yeah, looks like you're really spending extra to get on board wifi you could get this http://pcpartpicker.com/product/m6RFf7/gigabyte-motherboard-gaz170mxgaming5  drop a pciex1 wifi card in, even if you decide to spend the $60-70 difference on that wifi card, it's a separate part you can transfer with your next upgrade and save yourself $60-70 again.
