Need help with new pc

[Spectrumm]

Hello fellow internet by-goers, I am building my first game computer and I was wondering what everyone thought of the list. My budget is $1,300 USD. Here is the list http://pcpartpicker.com/list/sbT66X 

[Valkyrie Lenneth]

get an ssd at all costs, a high end pc running on nothing but a hdd is a waste of performance

[fjdhdhcyfhf]

drop the water cooling and buy a SSD

[AniJan]

What does the SSD do other than start it up faster and what cheaper cooler should I go with if I drop the h100, because the cpu doesn't come with a cooler.

not just start it up faster, hdds can be a huge bottleneck and make ur entire pc experience slow, especially through windows itself and even games these days wont run proper on a normal hdd ( extreme long load times/stutter/texture popins ect ect )

that's not how price works

[lettuce head]

id drop the aio water cooler and go for a hyper 212 evo or something in that range. trust me those things work fantastic for the price. with that money saved i would no doubt get a 250 gb ssd as a boot drive and to store some of your favorite content. and if you have the means, that monitor has retailed for under $220, so i would wait until that's available again. but i like it otherwise.

This one is extremely focused on aesthetics, but oh well :

@Jed M Would it be bad if I change the GPU to a 1060 6gb? cause I kinda feel like doing that.

[Spectrumm]

Then I would try for a 1070.

1060 gets 30 fps minimum (which is fine) but a 1070 can get near constant 60fps on division. CS GO is fine with a 1060

[Spectrumm]

I think I will be going @Jed M 's build, thanks everyone for the help and time! You're what makes this community great. I can come on here and ask for help and receive so much of it in such a small window of time!

[Guest]

As for Battlefield 1

@deXxterlab97 Hey could I add you on kik? or any instant messager? I am going to build this pc and I might need someone as experienced as you since I don't want to mess anything up lol?
