  • Cpu- 6700k
  • Cooler- H100i V2
  • Motherboard- Asus Z170-A
  • Memory- G.SKill Ripjaws V series 16GB
  • M.2 SSD- Samsung PRO 256GB M.2
  • GPU- EVGA 1080 FTW
  • Monitor- ViewSonic XG2401 144Hz 

 

I wan't quite sure of the motherboard and ram, so many options. Also just a note, I am using the supernova G2 850W and the drives out of my old build.

You don't play at 1080p with a GTX 1080....

Either a 1070 or a better monitor

I will be getting a vive soon, that is what pushed me towards the 1080.

Definitely get the 1080 then, plus you'll be able to keep your monitor pinned at 144Hz.

I'd go NZXT Kraken X61 instead of Corsair H100i, it's a better quieter AIO

I would switch the 1080 to the cheapest since they all hit the same OCs. The SC ACX 3.0 may be cheaper.

I would absolutely get a 500GB 850 EVO instead of that 950 Pro, or instead a 750GB MX300 (http://pcpartpicker.com/product/NLs8TW/crucial-mx300-750gb-25-solid-state-drive-ct750mx300ssd1)

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

It's 1080p 144Hz, a 1080 is still not overkill for that

 

But I would get a 1440p 144Hz freesync anyway

Is the Acer XG270HU decent? I am willing to spend about that much on a monitor.

I strongly feel like Nvidia will have to adopt Freesync sooner or later. It's the same effect as Gsync, but way way cheaper.
