Gaming desktop

[Keyozen]

So i wanted to build a gaming desktop for a while but i am afraid that if i buy the parts i will have some problems with compatibility, i was hoping u guys can help me out with the parts.

The Gpu will be gtx 1080 strix OC

CPU intel core i7-7700k 4.2 ghz skt1151

Case: Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ATX

So i dont know what motherboard should i buy cause i will use m.2 ssd and a normal ssd and probably a wify card.

The cooler can be liquid or air i dont have a preference.

My budget is around 2.5k but i live in europe and the parts here a bit more expensive.

Pls help me out guys

You have an overclockable CPU, so definitely go liquid cooling. Get the h110i (or h60 if you are on a budget). https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-TUF-Z270-LGA1151-Motherboard/dp/B01MQTDBOO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1487364460&sr=8-3&keywords=z270+motherboard This mobo supports m.2 and overclocking, and it has multiple PCIe slots.

I'd hold off 2 weeks as amd has scheduled the ryzen release event.  Even if you decide to stay with Intel it may drop prices across the board.  With that said I'd recommend taking a look at the asrock z270 killer sli/ac it has 2xm.2 and onboard ac wifi.  I'm not sure what prices are like in Portugal but it's a more affordable one in the states.  As for a cooler corsair aio's are always a solid bet,  especially if you are planning on overclocking.

Personally i'd wait for RYZEN to hit

Wait for Ryzen! It's coming it's coming!

In all reality though, there are some things I'd recommend.

• Consider getting a board with 2 m.2 slots, but check to make sure they don't thermal throttle
• Get a board with wifi built in
• Why 2 SSDs? I'd just get one large one
• Don't spend more than you need

Asus Strix Z270E might be a good choice for you. Included Wi-fi, multiple M.2 ports for NVMe or AHCI M.2's (one of these ports is NVMe only, the other is compatible with both) and you can RAID them if you wish. Its got great features, solid overclocking, above average audio, great RGB support if you want it and the option to turn that shit off if you don't. solid all around board in my opinion, and not outrageously expensive either although there are certainly cheaper ones out there to be had if you feel that one is just too much.
