Plan for first build!!

  • Get a better CPU cooler, the T2 isn't very good. (Source: I have one)
  • A better PSU would be a good idea, 500W is the MINIMUM I'd use for this system (when you include the 1070)
  • If you can't go over budget at ALL, get Windows 10 on reddit's microsoftsoftwareswap, and maybe even a cheaper case too.

I will wait to purchase a GTX 1070.

Budget is $850

Let me know if I should change something.

It looks like a solid build, although like the other guy said, I recommend going with a better heatsink, and a better power supply.

I'm not sure of the size of that case, or cooling support, but something like a Noctua NH-L12 would work good http://pcpartpicker.com/part/noctua-cpu-cooler-nhl12 Wish there were better cheap, good air coolers that don't look ugly as balls though.

As for the power supply, something like this perhaps? http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-120g10650xr
