  I will add 2 more fans to the case (+2 already with the case) =  4 fan case

 

I already use gaming keyboard/mouse/headphones/monitor.

 

In the future I`m going to add: m.2 storage and an capture card.

 

Can you guys give me 2-3 suggestions since i`m in Romania and a lot of products aren`t here.

If you care about this PSU lasting you a lifetime and being able to use it in pretty much any build, an RM750x

http://pcpartpicker.com/product/9q38TW/corsair-power-supply-cp9020092na

 

If you just want something cheap, an M12II will probably still last you a lifetime anyway (but doesn't do SLI)

Dude you must have a freaking fast HDD /s

Pretty much any entry level SSD will have slower writes than a HDD after like 2 minutes of work. My Trion 150 averages about 80MB/s writes after a 30-second burst of 200.

WD Blue 1 TB 7200 RPM. Nothing special. My friend was getting like 60 reads. That's a bit slower than my HDD I think. 

Ouch. Kingston pulled a bait and switch with the V300, giving a faster drive to reviewers, then changing the flash to some really old and slow stuff (probably in an attempt to get it out of their warehouses). They should be punished for that imo.

If you're doing streaming or video editing you're going to want an i7

For the PSU get a seasonic anything

 

Don't buy a V300 SSD

What is your display set up? if it's 1080p 60hz you don't need a 1070, in any case you should probably get a 480 and then use the money saved to upgrade to the i7 7700K

Mostly because you'll never need to worry about upgrading the 7700K

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Streaming , maybe , just maybe.

 

Super Flower Leadex, 80+ Silver, 650W

 

I`m going to change that SSD right now :))

 

Monitor i`m going with 1080p 120hz or 144hz  or (maybe 1440p)

Super Flower is pretty good too

 

Then yes, drop your GPU and get the i7

Also do you mean you have 1080p 60hz now and will be upgrading?

 

because a free-sync 1080p 144hz display is bound to be far cheaper than a G-sync display of the same specs, not sure on your local prices though, and you'll also want the i7 7700K for 144hz gaming, though maybe get 240mm AIO because the kaby lake chips can get really hot running at 5ghz

$209 for free-sync
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ZBZ2FT/aoc-monitor-g2460pf
 

$349 for G-sync
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/R998TW/aoc-monitor-g2460pg
 


For 1440p 144hz you'll want to try and find this Pixio display, since it's IPS, and also has free-sync
