Re-planning build

[dani199ar]

Hey hello, I am re-planning to buy some parts to build my own computer, (I started planning in last year, and i decided I could wait to see how the Ryzen possessors were performing)I was doing the research, and I also asked in this forum and the people that helped me were extremely supportive, more than I was expected and I am really grateful with those who helped me. I would like to get the best for my budget, it will be my first build, however I have some experience assembling computers (I use to upgrade the one that I had) the only part that I have never changed or even removed from the motherboard is the processor but that shouldn't be problem, and for what I've seen its quite simple. I need some help to pick the parts that would give me the results I am looking for, after talking with some members of the forum and after some time we came with this:

but with the new release of Ryzen I'm not sure anymore. here is some information:

 

1. Budget & Location: I live in Australia and my budget is around 3000 $AUD which is almost 2300 american dollars, I am willing to spend a few bucks more if it is worth it.

 

2. Aim: 

Will be used mostly for gaming, but i might want to do some streaming and video edition as well (so the computer should be able to run the game, skype and also the streaming software at the same time) kind of games?, well I can only think of star wars battlefront, and probably some VR in the future that's why I chose that video card.

 

3. Monitors 

Right now I am using a full hd monitor (1080p, 27") it doesn't have any display port that I can use (I don't know why as it is a brand new LG monitor...) and I am probably buying another one (also after assembling the rig...).

 

4. Peripherals:

I do not need any peripherals such as keyboard or mouse, but I am unsure to which windows should I use and if I should purchase it, or just crack it....I do not like the new windows 10, I am currently using windows 7 and I really like it.

 

5. Why are you upgrading

Because I am currently using a core i7 920 CPU, 8 GB of ram and a radeon HD 6800. A very old rig and I can not play anything on it, beside I think it is time to have a good computer that can last for years and that I can use if I buy a VR headset.

 

Extras:I want to buy the gtx 1080  FTW DT but might be another edition (definitely GTX1080 but not sure which one)

GTX1080Ti is coming very soon

Kaby Lake OC's higher and mobo and ram is overpriced 

PSU and Mouse are not available here

for gaming+streaming get the ryzen 7 cpus. if you just game though the 7700k is the better choice.

I already have the mouse screen and the keyboard. in regards of the 1080 Ti, do you think it will be better to wait for it?

is there any way to get the 1080 FTW version?

the cooler is not compatible with the mobo/processor (that's what it says, not sure though)

forgot to mention, you need to contact noctua for free am4 mounts. the galax 1080 is fine though, why do you want the FTW?

how can I ask noctua for the mount, being in here (Australia), and about the FTW, I like the performance and also in comparison with the galax the FTW is much more compact. one thing I noticed is that your build is about 50 AUD cheaper, and my question is, do i get better performance (overall... no need to get into really deep details such as the multi threads and so on) or the same?  Thanks for the time Herman, I truly appreciate it.

you'll need to fill in an order form and show the am4 mobo/cpu receipt.

http://noctua.at/en/nm-am4-mounting-kit-order-form

the ryzen will not do quite as well as the i7 on gaming, but it will be much better with streaming and video editing, where it closes in on the 6900k(the video editing). i don't really see the issue with the length of the gpu though, most cases will fit 297mm just fine and it's a regular dual slot card.

the EVGA P2? very good power supply, great choice. i would recommend a 750w for more SLI headroom but otherwise it's great.
