How’s it look!!!

After months of refinement I think I have my build. It’s a gaming build. I’ll be playing games like GTAV, stellaris, cities skylines, planetary ahnnialation, hoi4, gmod, and many other games of that nature

i went with a 2070 because 1080’s are pretty much gone, and I’m worried a 1070TI wouldn’t be enough. Price is a bit high but it’s doable and I won’t go higher than 1.8k 

btw playing at 1080p 144hz

The 2070 is overkill for a 1080p gaming rig. On decently optimized games with my 1060 at 1080p I can easily get 120+ fps. 

 

You don't need the arctic silver paste, the noctua cooler comes with it's own paste (and it's better anyway).

Yeah good luck pulling off 120fps on a 1060 in modern games.

At 1080p? Sure. May have to turn down the worst fps offender to "high" instead of "ultra." Sure, a lot of modern games AREN'T well optimized, and therefore run like shit on anything.

Give me an example of well optimized modern game released between 2015 and today.
