I would like some feedback on this part list

[trunami]

Hello all, I was recently putting together a build list. I am going to be using this computer primarily for gaming. (though I may get into video editing and 3D modelling later) This build was meant to be flexible for upgrades in the future, so feel free to tell me if I did a good job or not. I’m using one monitor as of now, but I will probably still use my current monitor after getting a new one, as I feel like dual monitors would fit my needs. As seen on the part list, I kind of want to go all out, but if there are better ones for around the same price range please let me know. The main reason I want to upgrade is to play higher end games. I am getting tired of playing the same old games, over and over again, so I would like something new. I already have all of the peripherals, and I just need the computer itself. One last thing, I already have the GPU and the PSU, but the PSU model wasn’t available on PCPartPicker, so I just used one that was quite similar.

 

Thanks!

which psu do you actually have?

[star_pilot475]

That looks pretty sweet... but you could do a RTX 2070 it would be pretty similar but slightly newer

[Dedayog]

Kraken X62 is too small for the 8700K if you're going to OC.  Go 280mm or just get a good aircooler.  I'm dumb, sorry.

 

The rest looks okay, I cannot comment on the RGB fans and controllers, I don't do that stuff but seems pricey.

He already owns the GTX 1080

[star_pilot475]

Oh right... yeah then do the 1080 sorry guys

[Dedayog]

Btw, there is always jumping up to an UltraWide monitor as well, it's a good system for one...

 

Definitely impacts the gaming experience a good bit.

Duh, thanks.  Sorry.  Thought it was the X42 in my stupid brain.  Appreciate the correction.

Thanks for the suggestion, and for finding the PSU. When it comes to cooling, I want a water cooler for a more silent way to overclock. I kind of can’t stand loud fans, haha.

just so i've said it: a nhd15 or drp4 is more silent than an aio...

Really? Cool. I think I’m going to look a bit more into air coolers.

No. unless you buy the triple pack but the H500 only has two fan spots, excluding where I’m putting my AIO if I get one, which is at the front.
