Here is my Early(ish) 2017 build, estimated completion date is beginning of next month.

 

Suggestions? More than half the parts are ordered, but I'd like criticism on what I did wrong/coulda been better.

 

FYI: Hard Drives not included, however, I will be using a 500 GB WD Blue HHD for Windows, 2TB WD Blue drive for Games and Video files, and a 500 GB WD Blue drive for Linux

Very good build

 

Good part choices, enjoy gaming!

[CatXice]

only need 16gb ddr4 @2400mhz only need 550w psu windforce is a bad cooler

[DocSwag]

power supply is a bit meh, unless you're doing more than gaming an i5+1070 woulda been better, but looks mostly fine, though if you do do a lot of multi core stuff then Ryzen mighta been a good option.

[Spork829]

If you haven't ordered the PSU already I would swap that out for something I trust a little more, but it will probably be ok. Also the H105 is pretty outdated if I remember correctly. Curious, what are you using the system for? Normally with a 7700k I would expect to see at least a 1070. If you're gaming at above 1080p I would recommend upgrading that, the 1060 may struggle a little. I assume because of the high RAM capacity this rig is for some sort of production/professional work, which would make more sense.

I figured I'd plan for the future, and I am often rendering and doing work in VM's at the same time.

[♠FlamieMeister♠]

Cut down to 16 gb if you can,  get a better gpu like an rx 480 8gb or last gen gpu.

[CatXice]

u only need 16gb atm at get 2400mhz with the i7 and an rx480 might be better with the extra vram

Two problems:

1. You don't need 32GB of RAM for anything.

2. You'd be much better off getting a 500w Corsair or EVGA PSU for $55 than a 750w Rosewill for $55.

Vm machines at max probs need 8gb allocated from personal experience, and rendering at home doesn't benefit in a meaningful way when 32gb on the line.

The RAM and GPU are the only 2 things that I have not ordered, I will look into swapping down to 16GB ram and a 1070 right now.

Streaming?  Video editing?  Go with Ryzen!  PLEASE go with Ryzen!

Ignore my last comment, then....

[NinJake]

Upgrade PSU and Graphics card as others have stated. If anything you can swap 16 gigs or ram for now and go for a 1070. (at least)

[Sad]

Updated post w/ revised list, the PSU hadn't shipped yet, so I swapped it too.

LIES!

If 16GB is not overkill enough for me, I will probably wait a paycheck then buy another 16GB kit.
