I'd drop the ssd down to a 240GB SSD, get a 1TB HDD and replace the PSU with a Corsair CX450M.

For the SSD, the Cucial MX300 or Sk Hynix SL308 are very good budget options, for the HDD it does matter what brand you get, there are only 3 HDD manufacturers (WD, Seagate and Toshiba) and they all make good drives, other brands of HDDs are made by one of those 3.

 

The PSU that Linus recommend in that video is quite average, the Corsair CX450M is a much better choice.

Alright <3

240Gb sandisk plus is a good boot drive.

1tb of WD Blue is great, otherwise seagate's compute line is also a good choice.

Gaming at that price point can not get any better for a 1080 display :D.

Are there downsides and upsides? Or is it just pure better?

2 less ram slots, worse cooler, less SSD space and slower ssd and cheaper case but you get a much better psu that is suited for powering the gpu, an i7 that'll give you less fps drops/stuttering and more overall storage space.

Why 6700 when linus choose 6800k. Just asking.

? linus picked an i5 6500, which will definitely struggle on games at 1080p 144hz on a gtx 1070.

I know . What i meant is in the 2k pc selection. He chose 6800k. You chose 6700 so i wondered. Why 6700 when theres 6800. Nothing part of the 1k. we are sort of off topic right now

picked the 6700k so that there'll be enough budget left to go for 1080 SLI, at least for the gaming optimised $2000 build. now that ryzen is here though i'd do the 1700 and gtx 1080 SLI/1080ti for a well-rounded gaming/streaming/rendering/editing pc.

he says in his video that it would pair well with a 1440p monitor or ultra-wide. I don't think the build was meant for 144hz gaming.
