First Build

[iMike]

Eeeey Guys!

 

So I wanted to build my first ever PC, but I have no clue what I should get;

So if you guys could just give me some Tips, just so I can maybe change some things

 

 

Budget:

~1650 Euros

- Willing to go a bit above, but preferably not

- I own the GTX 1080

 

Primary uses:

- Gaming (GTA V, The Forest, R6 Siege, BF1, Ryse: Son of Rome and some lesser demanding titles)

- 3D editing as a Hobby

- Photo/Video editing in 4K as a Hobby

 

Monitors:

- Currently using a Samsung SyncMaster 2032BW

(TN, 16:10, 1080p, 60Hz)

- Going to upgrade to an IPS, 21:9, 1080p, 144Hz or IPS, 16:9, 1440p, 144Hz

 

Peripherals:

- Just like the Monitor, I can save up a bit more

(I dont want to spend 600-ish Euros on Peripherals at the Cost of Peformance)

 

What I want:

- Good Peformance, but also great Aesthetics

(Thats why Im overpaying)

- Mostly black, a few hints of Silver and RGB Leds

- Probz gonna SLI in the future

 

 

Now it pretty much boils down to Platform X99 or Z270;

So these are the things I came up with

Im not gonna get a Key from a Shady website

 

[knightslugger]

if it's just a hobby machine and it doesn't pay the bills, stick with the Z270/7700k combo.

You can save a ton of money Bynum not getting a stupid expensive mobo, but X99 will always be expensive.

 

or wait for X199/ X299? (Dunno what they're calling it )
