Help putting new gaming PC together

[Craftit]

Hi, LTT community!

 

So it's time to get a new gaming rig since my old one is past it's 7 birthday. I have a GTX 980 that is the newest addition to it but getting a new card is not a problem. I currently have 3 monitors 1920x1080 so monitors are not needed. A question about multiple cards and monitors. If i get a new graphics card is it possible to use the 980 for the two monitors on the side and the new one for the main screen used for gaming? I do not plan to game on all 3 screens at the same time only the main one.

 

I have a few harddrives but space is always needed so a motherboard that supports a few drives would be good. I will most likely get a new SSD for OS and repurpose the current one for games and other applications depending on what everything else lands in terms of the budget.

 

Mouse, keyboard, speakers is not needed. DVD reader can be scrapped from the old one if it's ever needed again.

 

It is also for work so stuff like programming and photoshop but a good gaming PC should not be a problem for that.

 

The budget is not written in stone so +/- a little is not a problem. 

I previously done this myself but lately with work and stuff i feel really out of the loop so hopefully the nice people here will be able to help.

 

Location: Sweden

Budget: ~15000 SEK or $1700

Yes you can have 980 to power the other monitor and have another one for gaming. Just for convenience do you know any Swedish tech store I can look around?

I can not find a PC case. But get one that is best for you. Since over 15000 a bit is not a problem...

Also look for other store. I don't know if they have the cheapest price in this one.

Total: 15028 SK

If you are only gaming at 1080p then just reuse the GTX 980.

Thanks for the help so far. 

Some other swedish sites are https://www.inet.se/ and https://www.komplett.se/

 

Looking at what you linked i would need something like this?

PC Case:  https://www.inet.se/produkt/6901916/cooler-master-mastercase-5-svart#specs

Memory: https://www.inet.se/produkt/5300079/corsair-16gb-2x8gb-ddr4-3200mhz-cl16-vengeance-led-vit#specs

 

Going with both a 980 and 1080 should work fine with a 650 power supply?

Reusing the 980 would work but i will most likely get bigger monitor this year so new card will be nice.

 

Going without the harddrives should put it  around 16000 SEK.

for the 1080, you should make sure your new monitor is above 1080p and if possible 144hz
