The $1000 1070 Build

RAM555789

This is a build I created for a little under $1000 that uses a 1070. Now yes I know that Ryzen is coming out in a bit, this build is a backup if Ryzen is a big let down. Now the downside to this build is it only has a 120gb SSD but that's because I already have a 1tb drive at home. It also dose not include a monitor, mouse, keyboard, or windows. This is just simply the components for the PC. Another thing is this build has 8gb of RAM which I know some would say is lacking but it gets the job done well enough for me.

Its a theoretical build I may due in the future and I am interested on other thoughts and opinions on this possible build, and what they might do differently, to get near, same, or better performance, at a near price point.

The RAM is just not a well know brand as well, so while it runs just as good, its also a bit cheaper. Also I don't need more than 8gb really.

he OP is brave enough to risk damaging the chip, delidding sounds like a solution. i am not encouraging it, its just a idea.

You can use higher clocked memory - it makes a difference in CPU-bound scenarios - 10-20 fps more for $10 more aint bad

The Seasonic S12ii 620W is only like $5 more than the 430W, get that. 620W can handle much beefier OC, a GPU swap, or even SLI 1070s in the future.

I bet that is the one thing that all of the waiters are gonna get uppity about the most on day one.........being able to find one when, even though it would cost more, they could have built a rig and been enjoying it by now.

Yeah honestly getting an later generation i5 and OCing it your going to get a pretty long life out of your PC. If your willing to pay you could up it to an i7.

You'll need a different motherboard (200 series) or another CPU to update its BIOS so it will work with the 7600K. Z170 motherboard's aren't likely to run with Kaby Lake until you update the BIOS.

In a perfect world delid 7700k and 212 evo.  I'd still suggest 7700k even w/o delid, it supports 1 or 2 things that 6700k doesn't, one I think having to do with 4k on Netflix? Plus the additional performance.  212 should keep it cool enough at stock.  I have a 212 evo with conductonaut as thermal paste on 8320 set daily to 5 ghz lmao not breaking 54c.  WIth AS5 thermal paste I was getting like 4.6 ghz but getting to 65c.  That conductonauts amazing,....

 

Thing is this thread probably gonna be useless when RYZEN comes out... they didn't have singlethread scores with fx series, they are pushing them out with ryzen and they look very very nice.  I can't imagine we'll be upset, especially considering ~54% cheaper than intel this time around.
