Gaming PC Build

pskippy

My gaming PC is at its end and I am looking to upgrade to something that will run 1440P at a decent frame rate.  I would like something that I will be able to upgrade GPU and CPU 2 - 3 years down the road.  This is at the top of my budget (~$1500) but wanted to see if anything needs to be changed.

All looks very nice, maybe (if you dont dislike) grab W10 from G2A/Kinguin and save $60. I have a 1080 on my 1440P gsync, and I would say its a nice match, if you could squeeze one into that system/budget go for it

Good stuff. Would perhaps go with the MSI 1070 Gaming instead..
