Please Help! PC Gaming Setup - $1600

[sammer]

Hello All,

This is my first time ever putting together a build together. My total budget, including monitors and PC, is about $1600. I would like to stay at that preferably but would not mind spending a bit more for better performance. The desk is not part of the price and neither is my keyboard, mouse, mousepad, or headset. I built a black/white PC but I need help to see if I can spend more/less on certain things to maximize my budget. I plan on buying all the parts at once on Black Friday. I generally play CSGO, CoD, GTA, etc. I might want to get into some video editing but nothing major. Here is the link- http://pcpartpicker.com/list/mVVnpb . Please help and advise!

 

Thanks,

sammer

That HDD looks a little sketch, and at that budget you could easily fit a 1070.

Thanks for responding! Do you have any specific recommendations. Is the 1070 worth it for 1080p gaming?

This includes a 1ms 4k monitor. If you're more about competitive FPS games, then you'd be better off with a 144Hz display instead. It also has the current top-of-the-line consumer CPU and GPU on the market (I refuse to count the Titan XP).
