Recommendations and stuff for future build

[Red jive]

All right i just read the forum guide lines so lets do this.

I live in the USA, the aim of the build is going to be mostly for gaming, going to be running 1 1080p monitor for now but maybe get anothor one in the future and a friend that has connections is getting me windows 10

 

Cpu: i7 7700k

 

Cpu cooler: noctua NH-D14

 

Mobo: msi z270 gaming pro carbon

 

Ram: Kingston FURY 8 gbs (will be upgrading to 16 later)

 

SSD: Samsung 850 evo 250 gb

 

HDD: Seagate 2 tb 7200 rmp

 

Gpu: Zotac gtx 1070 amp! extreme edition 

 

Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro full atx

 

Psu: Evga  supernova g3 850 watt

 

Case fans: x3 Noctua NF-P14

 

 

Everything without the monitor is around 1500$ according to pcpicker. Is there any recommodations to lower the price but still have a reliable computer. 

 

BTW probley won't be building his pc for at least 5-6 months.

650w psu is enough

get a different 1070

Zotac is shady support, go for something like EVGA for gpu, like Droidbot mentioned, your psu is overkill. I haven't an idea on pricing, but I bet it will be cheaper for 6700k and z170 with minimal performance degrade, nonetheless on a 1080p build.

Why didn't you post the pcpartpicker permalink. It makes it much easier to make suggestions to lower prices. Also, any suggestions today will not be valid in 6 months.

• No need for the Noctua add-on fans. The case comes with three very decent fans that should provide sufficient airflow.
• PSU is a great unit but has far more capacity than needed, a 550W unit would be sufficient. There are also less expensive but equally good psu. The EVGA G2 comes to mind.
• A less expensive motherboard. Provided it has the features you need, there is little point spending much more on the motherboard.
• A less expensive ssd will not noticeably impact performance.
• Spend more on the gpu. 
• A mid-tower case would save a bit.
