Planning a PC

[FSsprint07]

So this is the first time I've planned a PC build. I've been very interested in the community for a while but I haven't had the means to get money but I just got two jobs to fund the build so I was wondering on your thoughts of what the build intakes so far.

 

Before I give the link to the list I'm going to tell you that this build is for both gaming and working, so AAA games and photo/video editing, hence the strong processor and GPU. I was also considering a dual GTX 1070 setup but decided against it due the extra cost.

 

Here is the part list

Looks good

If you want cheap out on the OS go to r/microsoftsoftwareswap for a key, buy from a mod

 

Get some Static Pressure aftermarket fans for your h100i if you would like, the stock ones are pretty ew

Eh, if video editing and such I personally would go for the 5820k instead, but either works.

I'd only recommend that if you're doing really heavy video editing / rendering.

A GTX 1070 would be enough for 60Hz 1440p.
