PC Build Help

[Kuwa]

I plan on building a new PC. I kinda don't want to skimp out. I'll follow format;

0. TL;DR - 

I want new PC. $2k or less. No compromises though. Here's the link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HDLRwV

 

1. Budget & Location -

I don't really have much of a budget. If you require numbers then < $2300, USD.

 

2. Aim -

Gaming. I want to be able to run anything on a 3440x1440 monitor with at least 60 frames. I also want to be able to run future games that are likely more computer intensive than current ones, I was considering a 1080 but meh. I am also set on the case, as I wish to make a smaller computer with the power of a full sized one. I also appreciate the aesthetic that the one chosen has. I guess I kind of want a "No Compromises" build. Oh, and I don't plan on overclocking.

 

3. Monitors -

I will be using 2 monitors, an ultra wide one for games (3440x1440) and a normie one for discord and what not (1920x1080).

 

4. Peripherals -

I'll need to purchase an OS, but the other peripherals should not be counted in the budget. I have working ones currently and may upgrade in the future.

 

5. Why are you upgrading? -

Simply put - because I want to. This would be the first PC I will have made, but I'll have guidance from friends who are more experienced with putting them together. My current PC is a mid to low end (~$500) PC that can't really run anything at max graphics on a 1440p monitor.

Wait for (Ry)Zen, the new AMD CPU. It might have better performance per dollar, and it might lower them Intel CPU prices. (and Intel will "soon" start selling their 5% better CPU's too)

Your case has a PSU included.  450W is enough for a 6700K + GTX 1070.

 

You might also want to have a blower style cooler on the GPU to help keep the case air from heating up too much.

 

Although a 3440x1440 is 1440p, it will require 25% more GPU processing when compared to a 2560x1440 display.
