Hello guys,

 

just wanted to ask about your opinion about the parts i want to use, for my first complete self build PC. The PC will be mainly used for gaming on maxed settings (more or less future proved).

Im using a single 1080p monitor at the moment but im planning to upgrade to a 2k or 4k monitor in the future when they get a little bit cheaper (and 60+ hz).

I also eventually plan to upgrade to watercooling for the processor and graphic card. Do you have any Suggestions or changes i could make?

My budget is about 1200-1800€ (Im from Germany) and i dont need anything else apart from the pc itself.

oh and i want to use shadow play and other nvidia stuff( i know its overrated  :rolleyes: )  so thats why im going for a gtx instead of an amd?

 

well thanks in advance and have a nice day :)

Nice, but 1TB SSD? Assuming the OS will run on the 256GB one, you are better off buying an HDD for less money and more storage.

I'm a huge proponent of SSD only. Having everything just snap up is nice. Also he said he wanted to go watercooling so I'm assuming he will want the silence that comes with it, and a HDD isn't all that quiet.

well i dont really need more than 1TB (maybe even 500-750 gb would be enough) at all and in my opinion the samsung evo series is really one of the first ssds that have much storage for a affordable price. I will be using air cooling at first though and update to watercooling later since its my first build and i wanna get a little more experience before i start with watercooling. anyone got experience with this case and watercooling it? and should i get some more case fans as long as im air cooling it? the case has two build in 200mm fans and one 120mm.
