Building a new system, need some help with the final components (and to make sure I'm not an idiot picking wrong parts)

[Jahn]

1. Budget & Location

Location: Norway

Budget: 40-50 000kr (roughly 5k USD)

Preferred price list: NOK since I'm limited to purchasing in Norway, Norway's import taxes are too high.

 

2. Aim

Gaming, primarily Overwatch and World of Warcraft, but will also be used to played any new games I buy as well as ultra modded Skyrim...

P.S I plan on having this computer for 5+ years with minimal to no upgrades other than replacing coolers/harddrives when/if they fail.

 

3. Monitors

I plan to have 2 monitors, one (Acer 34" Predator Curved G-Sync) at 3440x1440 resolution and one that has pivot capabilities for web reading, current choice: (Samsung S22E650D) 1920x1080

 

4. Peripherals

I do not need any other peripherals, but if there's a gaming mouse better than the G303, I'm open to suggestions.

 

5. Why are you upgrading?

Because almost 2 years ago my desktop literally burst into flames, at the time the store I use for computer parts were out of the parts I wanted and they had a 2 month wait time on pre-built desktops so I bought an Asus G75JY laptop, it has served me well but it was only ever supposed to hold me off until I could build a new Desktop.

 

My current planned build is as follows:

Motherboard: Asus ROG Maximus VIII Hero Socket-1151

CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K Socket-1151

CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H110i

GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming Waterforce

RAM: HyperX Predator DDR4-3200MHz 32GB (4x 8GB)

ODD: ASUS Blu-Ray Writer BW-16D1HT

Soundcard: Creative Sound Blaster Z

OS SSD: Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB SSD

Game SSD: Intel SSD 600p Series 512GB PCIe M.2

Game and Data HDD: Seagate Desktop 4TB SSHD

Fans: 1x 120mm Noctua NF-S12A ULN for the GTX 1080 cooler 5x Noctua NF-A14 ULN 140mm for the H110i as well as the case itself

Case: Cooler Master MasterCase 5

 

Now, what I am worried about is the power supply and if all of this works together or not.

The power supply I was thinking of is the Corsair RM1000i, a 1000w power supply, however I used the cooler master power supply calculator and it suggested I only get a 500w power supply and I had issues finding any understandable information through google.

 

I have not built a computer in nearly 10 years so this is my first foray into it in quite a while and while I am fairly confident I've picked parts that work with one another, I am not 100% certain and would like to make sure.

I would also like input on the 2 monitors in question, in particular if there's a better UWHD monitor at or lower the price of the Acer Predator, primarily because the Predator is out of stock right now with an unconfirmed delivery date 2 weeks from now.

You only need a 650/750w psu

Id get a single m.2 ssd for games and the os.

 

If you goin to have 2 ssds. Id make the m.2 one for the os as its faster and games aren't different on a sata vs pcie ssd.

 

Id use the built in sound card. No reason to get a esternal one.

 

Id get a dual 16gb dimms.

 

A 500w psu is fine. Modern parts pull very little pow3er.

So I should get a smaller m.2 and a bigger sata ssd, instead? I primarily chose the m.2 for games since it's bigger and faster.

Also, with dual 16gb dimms, I'd still have 2 slots leftover, way back when I was taught computer building, I was told it's always better to fill out the slots?

Use 2 dimms if you can. It will be the same speed and you can oc more.

 

Id get a single 1tb sata ssd.
