It depends on what you do.

Yes, the higher the resolution, the less frames you'll get therefore CPU is less constraint. You will be able to comfortably play 4K once you get 4K monitor in the future.

 

I recommend getting a cheap 1440P from AOC or 4K one. AOC is a decent brand. I know ACER and others have amazing monitors, but expensive af.

Still not sure about the RAM. @deXxterlab97

[MinhDo]

Ryzen 5 1600x good enough? I still have my old hyper 212 cooler.

He doesn't need that extra 20-30mb / s. It's not gonna kill him.

I'm pretty sure RAM will work, my RAM wasn't on the list when I bought it and it worked just fine, and even if by some miracle it doesn't work, he can return it and buy different one.

 

+ Picking a weaker system for the same price of a much stronger one... Hmm.... Tough call right?

And fits his budget + meeting all the criteria? How does that sound? 

and he games on a 1080p monitor. list me games that a gtx 1080 can't handle

For the 100th time... Futureproof + you get LESS VALUE if you buy cheaper equipment like 1070. 

Why the hell should he waste money on 1070 when he can get 1080 TI for the same price? LOGIC.

Plus he literally just said he might want to upgrade the monitor later, as he was asking if higher res will help.

 

Your setup LOOKS better, but it sure for hell doesn't perform better by a longshot.

Always buy what gets you more frames for less or same price.

 

Sometimes, buying used also helps.

 

It's like giving a price on a Ferrari and average car. Would you buy the average car for £2000 if Ferrari was £2000 also? I don't think so.

@JDE cut corners on so many things just for the sake of a 1080 Ti 

 

It's 60 dollars more and OP also said he wants Windows so that's almost ~100. Don't tell me that G2a and kinguin exists. The person is spending $2000 and he gets a non legit Windows, cheap case, cheap PSU, cheap drive as well. Yeah that's so great.

The only lacking thing is the GPU which can be easily upgraded if OP want to. The rest performs way better (with CPU can be debatable).

 

 

You seem to all care to get that extra frame rate while ignoring everything else. That's not value at all. That's ignorance.

7700k streaming? in 30 fps it will be fine but 60 will cause it problems, if OP uses somthing good like OBS ryzen 1700 would be awsome paired with a gtx 1080 or 1070.

looks good, OP i think we all can agree that's a good system, get an another gtx 1070 down the line if you need futureproofing. it really doesn't matter but if you can spend a bit more i highly suggest an air 540 if you do a sli setup.

4790K 4.8Ghz OC.

USED 1070 Gainward GS OC 2.1Ghz.

Corsair AIR 240 Black.

H110i.

2x8GB Dominator Platinum.

ASUS Impact VI.

USED Intel 520 SSD 180 GB. 

USED 2TB SEAGATE Barracuda HDD.

Corsair Commander Mini fan controller.

Radiator fans upgraded to SP120.

EVGA 750 GS PSU 80+Gold Tier 1 PSU. Fully modular.

 

Works like a dream, with the exception of GPU. I wish it was stronger.

 

I have a system like the one you want to suggest. NOT currently worth for its price. But you are too stupid to realise he WILL LOSE VALUE + Futureproofness. "GPU can be easily upgraded later". Fine, give him extra 400 dollars for free. Make it easy for him.

 

I have a system like this, I know what it can do. Get the 1080 TI system that JDE suggested but with better PSU. At least 600W so you can OC that 1080 TI.

 

Going SLI later? Dumb idea. I could've gotten double 1080 for the price of my 1080 TI. I wouldn't trade it for 1080 2x. SLI is bad. Works well it some games, and in others you literally have 0 benefit.
