Selecting components for a pc

[FireBird_12]

Hello, I need some help as to what parts to go for, as this would be my first time building a pc, so I have no idea on what CPU to take with what GPU and how to avoid bottlenecking etc.

below I  have provided a list of what parts i think should be good and my budget etc.
Budget:  INR 1,27,000.00 ($1800)

Location: India

Aim for the build: I would be doing gaming for most of the part, games I usually play are CS:GO / Fortnite / GTA V / Battlefield V / PUBG

Monitor: I plan on having a 1440p display with a decent refresh rate (120-144hz)

Peripherals: I already have a mouse/headset, I plan on getting a keyboard and a monitor. (not included in the budget just want suggestions)

 

• CPU- I was thinking to go for an i7-8700/8700k
• GPU- I'm really confused as to which one to go for, I plan on playing all of my games on the highest possible settings (1440p), maybe a GTX1070/1080 or an RTX 2070?
• MOTHERBOARD-  Once again no idea which one to really go for, I don't need wifi/Bluetooth
• RAM- 16gb 3200mhz (2x8gb)
• PSU- I think anything from a decent brand rated 80+ gold should be good, and 600-800w should be enough.
• STORAGE- I'm confused whether to go for an SSHD or an m.2 SSD
• CASE- Doesn't really matter to me, I don't want fancy RGB's etc 
• OTHERS- I would preferably want to go for an air cooling solution because I've heard water cooling is pretty difficult and there's a slight chance with AIO's of failing.

Go with a RTX 2070 or 2080 for 1440p 144hz

 

I have a 1070 and it's fine, but not optimal. My friend has a 1080 and same thing.

 

My other friend has a 1080 ti and it's good.

 

With a 2070 or 2080 that will be perfect I guess

Also storage go with SSD not SSHD it sucks

[COUPER MILLAR]

Cpu - for 1440p gaming a ryzen 2600x or 2700x would give close to thr same fps as intle (5-10fps less on average) at about 25%lower cost. You can also use a b450 mobo to overclock as opposed to the Intel requiring a zsl series mobo. 

 

Gpu - 1070 or 1070 ti would be great! Im not sure what the used market looks like in India but I'd give that a look too to get the best bang for your buck. 

 

Mobo - going to depend on what cpu you go with. 

 

Ram - looks good

 

Psu - I'm partial to the evga g3 series but take a look at this list before making any final decisions. For a gaming system I would recommend staying at or above tier 4 

 

 

Storage - gaming dosent get any benefit from nvme ssd speeds. I'd go with a reputable sata ssd >500g 

 

Cooling - can't go wrong with noctua for air cooling

I don't really plan on overclocking at all tbh, cuz 1. I'm not really experienced with it and 2. pretty sure degrades the CPU over time I guess? again could be completely wrong about that one. 3. I will probably have to invest in pretty decent cooling and pretty sure air cooling won't to it as temperatures go really fucking high in the summer season 30-45° c.

also will 1070ti/1080 would be good 1440p gaming at 144hz? the game I play like 90% of the time is csgo and I don't think the GPU matters much in it, but do u have any idea how many frames I could hit usually 2600x or 2700x or an 8700/8700k?

a 1080ti/2080 would be overkill, in my opinion, I'm thinking a 2070/1070ti should do just fine.

There is no such things as overkill concerning 4k/60hz or 1440p/144hz for now,

 

Even a 2080 ti can't deliver 60 fps 4K uiltra settings in all newest titles, or 144 fps 144p ultra...

 

It all depends at what you aim : Settings, and FPS and the game you play
 

[gbergeron]

I would say for budget : 1070, 1070ti , 2070

 

For max performance : 1080 ti, 2080, 2080 ti

Csgo relies on CPU more than GPU, 8700k will give alot more FPS (sometimes even 40%+) than the 2700x.

I'm only going for a 144hz monitor for games like csgo/r6 i don't really expect any other games to hit above 144fps on ultra
