Is this a good gaming rig? would like to try to cut down prices..

play games such as league of legends, overwatch, starcraft, etc.

All looks good for high fps 1080p or 1440p gaming

You can't pair an i7 7700k with an X99 motherboard. Get a Z270 motherboard. Also you might want to consider another SSD. You do not need a sound card. Also for such games this is way to overkill. Let me make a PCpartpicker for you

[Mr.Humble]

Hi,

 

first of all, use PCPartPicker please.

Second of all, your CPU and motherboard aren't compatible.

 

Give us your budget and location, and the intended use of the PC and we'll throw something together for you.

[stefanDB]

for gaming you don't need a great CPU, an i5 is good enough, the GPU is more important. also the motherboard isn't compatible and for the games you play this is overkill

[dizmo]

On top of what others have mentioned, I'd get a different SSD.

[stefanDB]

this is what I am going to build for a friend of mine:

 

MOBO: ASRock B250 Pro4

Case: sharkoon s25-w

PSU: CX550M

HDD: Seagate barracuda 1TB

CPU cooler: Be quiet pure rock slim

GPU: EVGA GTX 1070 sc

CPU: Intel core i5-7500

SSD: Adata XPG SX8000 128GB

RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury HX421C14FBK2/8

CoolerMaster Silencio FP 120

if you have the money you might spend a bit more on the case storage and those things but I think this would make a decent gaming rig

[Mr.Humble]

Here's a badass gaming tower that will chew through pretty much any game at 1080p high settings, Czech it out:

The case ram, corsair ML120 Pro LED White i chose for the looks and to match the build. If you don't care about looks go with a Define R5 without the window and replace the ml pro led fan with another noctua, and go with the hyper 212 instead of the H7, and replace the ram with the cheapest DDR4 2400Mhz 2x8 GB kit you can find.

 

Edit: Also you can easily get a super cheap windows key from like Kinguin or smth. I assume you're playing on 1080p resolution and that's why i went with the 4GB RX480, you might want to switch it to an 8GB RX480 or a 1060. You don't need a 1070 for 1080p

 

ANOTHER edit. I totally agree with Stealth80. Also, you might want to wait until March, then the processors will be a lot cheaper and you might want to go with a Ryzen CPU. Heck you since you got so much money you could go with a GTX 1080 but for the games you play even a RX 470 or GTX 1060/480 is more than enough. 

 

Aaaaand another one: The motherboard supports Asus Aura RGB led, so adding a small Aura RGB compatible led strip might be a good idea

Please don't advise i5's for new build rigs when i7 is clearly within their budget:

 

 

i5 is fine at the moment aka I wouldn't tell someone to upgrade from an i5 to an i7 IF ALREADY OWNED, but for a new build which people want to last 2 - 3 years we should really be pushing i7's now if it's in budget without gimping the build.

For gaming I still wouldn't recommend anything more powerful than the build I posted earlier. I did tweak it a bit to make room for a 1440p monitor and a set of IMO great gaming peripherals, Czech it out:

Check out my new post

yes, but i'd make some changes. get a cheaper 500-600w psu, motherboard, heatsink and leave out the fans and see if you can get a gtx 1070.

[Droidbot]

480 8GB is on par in DX11 and faster in DX12 and the one Vulkan title. Rest is pretty solid, but the 7700K runs hot!

[gtx1060=value]

cx 550m would be more than enough or evga nex

he's in APAC, EVGA support doesn't exist pretty much

also NEX is overpriced for what it is, CXM or S12II is significantly better value

Don't summon me when you know for sure that the NEX is bad

EVGA NEX is bad. Bad voltage regulation as a result of a group regulated design on such high power PSU.

The FSP Hydro G is better (I believe the GQ is based on that platform).

would the CRYORIG A40 liquid cooler cool it down?

[DYGaming]

So now, ill cut down the power supply to FSP Hydro G 600W, cheaper heatsink and squish in a gtx 1070?

[DYGaming]

does everything fit in the case and is everything compatible with the motherboard? sorry guys.. this is my first custom pc build... D:
