Depends on the games and the quality, but it should do decently with 4k games. Another card would always help.

Did you make sure the RAM is on their approved list?

I'd doublecheck that 3TB drive; I think that was the size that was most faulty.

I don't really see any places to cut costs to be honest. Some might say 2 RX 380's but then you lose the possibility of future expansion.

Do you really need 32GB of RAM?

Haha, I see you knew what I was getting at even though I hit enter too soon...

1.drop from 32gb to 16gb ram. you don't need that kind of overkill ram for just gaming.

2.drop to a cheaper/lower capacity ssd/hdd. 4tb of storage does seem quite overkill.

3. get OS from reddit/kinguin for $20-30.

4.get the evga supernova GQ 850w for $80 after $20 rebates? its still a very good unit.

5. get a cheaper z170 mobo?
