New build plan

[Mr J]

I'm just about to buy my next pc so wanted to get some thoughts on my parts choice. This is only the core components the other stuff can be worked out at a later date. this is going to be custom loop cooled but only the cpu for now. 

 

i7 7700k

 

Msi Z270 pro carbon mother board

 

Msi gtx 1070 aero GPU ( I do want to sli another card in the near future)

 

1tb sshd

 

Intel 600p 128gb m2 (for os)

 

16gb ddr4/3200mhz corsair vengance lpx Ram

 

Corsair 6550 watt rmx650x 80 gold plus power supply

Don't bother getting a SSHD if you're getting a full, fat SSD already. Just get a 2 or 3tb HDD, like a WD Black.

If you will be putting another 1070 in, I would get a better psu

Well same as the other guy, dont bother with an SSHD. a 480GB SSD goes for 150 CAD on Amazon right now, I just bought 1 myself.

The Aero is basically a different "reference" blower style GPU, it performance arent the best, so I'd suggest go with another like ASUS Strix, MSI Gaming X or EVGA ACX. Blower style do help with really tight space, but for a full ATX case you better off with a different cooler.

Other than that everything seem pretty barebone, you should be fine.

Yeah, 750W is usually the minimum recommended for SLI

650w is sufficient for dual 1070 setup

According to PcPartPicker a full build with a 7700k, 2 1070, 1 SSD, 2 HDD use about 530W, so adding around 100-150W on top of that is fine so a 650W PSU should be more than ok.

np mate :3 PC nowaday just dont use that much wattage anymore. I remember the day when 1 GPU = 600W+ PSU, 2 = 750W+ too lol

I went for the sshd as I'm already over budget, it is the first thing I'm going to do when I have some money again lol

Just buy a standard 1TB Hard Drive in that case. A WD Blue or Seagate Barracuda will be cheaper than a hybrid drive.

 

Also the Intel 600p is pretty crap by NVMe standards. It isn't really much better than a SATA SSD. If you want a fast NVMe SSD then you need to be looking at something like a Samsung 960 EVO or an SM961.

The 600p is purely for the os at the moment, I've got a much much faster ssd on the way. At the moment I wanted to keep costs down until I can afford a full on 1tb ssd so figured it was a halfway point and would let me get a few other things a bit better, like the motherboard and the liquid cooling as a start point to build upon
