New build ($1500 US)

[Araphen]

It's been about 3 years since I built my last computer so my knowledge about all the new stuff is a bit lacking.  

I threw this build together in a few minutes and i was looking for suggestions.

Just for gaming? 

[LHJKO]

at the price of that 1070 just get a 1080 they cost only 25$ more

32GB RAM? do you really need that much right now?

RAM is overpriced atm

[Jurrunio]

RAM: 32GB is too much for games. 16GB is already more than enough. Intel CPUs benefit little on high speed RAM, so just 2400MHz or even 2133MHz ones will do.

 

PSU: Supernova NEX are not the best itself, more so at this price. I recommend this

 

GPU: This GTX 1080 is available for $50 more, so do consider it

It's pretty much just for gaming.

Also I probably won't be building another for at least 3 years.

 

Thank you for all the suggestions

Especially herman mcpootis.  I think i'm going to be pretty much building that instead.

I would wait for Coffee Lake if you want an Intel build. The other option is to go with a Ryzen R5 1600 build.
