Framerate to the (sky)lake build

southpaw516

Budget

My budget is $3000 USD.

Goal

I would like to play racing/flight sims, new AAA titles, and VR games. I would also like to be able to play in surround and or close to 144fps when possible.

Side Note

I already have some of these parts, partly from buying them already and partly from winning them at a Lanfest event.

The power supply is probably overkill, but I can't return it.

Not quite sure about the MOBO. I plan on overclocking, and I've heard people like this board.

That motherboard is good and can easily overclock.  Everything else is good 9_9
