Hello, Im building a new Gaming PC for myself, I have never rly been in to the "style" of my PC but this time im going to try it. This build will be white.

What I need help with is are there any upgrades or sidegrades from what I have picked and I have used intel for so long, do I give AMD a try now?

 

I have all the peripherals that I need.

My use will mostly be gaming at 1080p for now (this might change)

 

I have been picking some parts already they are here down below.

(it is the dual 250gb ssd that push the price right now, not sure what to do but a raid is nice)

RAID is nice only if you have programs that can utilize the performance, same as NVME drive

i7 7700k is still better in terms of gaming only, Ryzen is nice but not yet that nice

Well white motherboard in AM4 is either from msi and asrock

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol

A GTX 1070 is good enough for 1080p/1440p. No price for the Asus Dual though so you might have to look for it or go with something else i.e The KFA2 HOF card or an MSI Armor.

 

The S340 has 2 SSD mounts on top of the psu housing if you want them on view.
