Hey! I've gamed for about two years now and I think it's time to build a new computer. I have never built a computer before since my last on was crap from PC. I decided to build a new now cause I'm tired off all low fps and bugging! Here is the parts I thought use:

 

motherbord: MSI Z170A GAMING M7 ATX 

CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core

Graphic card: MSI GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GAMING X 8G 

CPU cooler: Corsair H100i v2 

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LED 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200

SSD: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 1TB 2.5" 

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 

Power supply: EVGA 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX 

Case: Corsair spec alpha

 

I wonder if everything fits and if it's a nice combo? 

Best reggards

what's your currency, location, and budget?

 

the 1tb ssd is overkill, the PSU is overkill, and taking the PSU down to 650w and the SSD down to 512gb would give you enough budget for a better case

I live in sweden and the budget is 2000$

So 512gb of ssd and a less watt powersupply? Everything fits?

I got this, yeah: 

- i7 7700K

- ASUS Z270H

- 16GB RAM of some description

- 525GB Crucial SSD

- 3TB HDD

- EVGA GTX 1080 FTW (extra power and RGB compared to SC), but it is ex demo so if you're not comfortable with that get the MSI Armor for the same money

- Fractal Design Define R5 (Amazing sound-blocking foam inside, window, generally good case.)

- Windows 10

- EVGA G2 750W PSU. It was the same price as the G3 650w, and more watts the better

 

Went a little over budget tho

https://www.komplett.se/product/890718/datorutrustning/bildskarm/bildskarmar/dell-24-led-ultrasharp-p2416d

Cheapest 1440p monitor

https://www.komplett.se/product/903569/datorutrustning/bildskarm/bildskarmar/aoc-24-led-freesync-ag241qx#

Bang for the buck

https://www.komplett.se/product/844505/datorutrustning/fyndvaror/bildskarmar/asus-27-led-freesync-mg279q-demo#

Middle of the road

https://www.komplett.se/product/851697/datorutrustning/fyndvaror/bildskarmar/asus-27-led-g-sync-rog-swift-demo#

High end - RECOMMENDED - This has GSync technology meaning that it can adjust the refresh rate to match the FPS you are getting in a game, which reduces tearing. 

 

Alternatively:

https://www.komplett.se/product/908754/datorutrustning/fyndvaror/bildskarmar/benq-35-led-curved-xr3501-demo#

This is a 35" ultrawide monitor, meaning it is like a cinema screen. More immersive in games, but some do not support this aspect ratio.

 

All monitors are 144hz besides the Dell monitor, meaning that action and movement appears smoother and input lag is reduced even more over 60hz monitors. These are used by professional gamers as well.
