New Gaming Computer Idea

[DoctorOutlaw]

Hello, I would like some feedback on this build:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Y7fhJV

 

It is a going to be a gaming computer running most Triple A games. If there are any suggestions on what to add or improve on, please let me know. I would like to keep it close to $1,600 and I would like to keep it running for a good bit. Thank you

Looks good, you can probably pick up a nicer keyboard with what you have left, something like a Corsair K63 or even a K70.

I'd throw in a 7700K instead if you want it to last longer. Ram prices are pretty high right now... I got the Vengeance LPX-3000 for $80... That's my only recommendation.

Is it really worth spending an extra $100 though, I know it doesn't bottleneck that badly when compared with the 7700k, but for future proofing, how much longer would you say it could last rather than the 7600k?

Probably 1-2 years. With your current list, that 7600K is going to get replaced much earlier that the 1070. With a 7700K, you probably will replace it after or at the same time as the 1070.

Nah the CPU will last a lot longer than the GPU, a good i7 should last 2 - 3 GPU upgrades, theres still people gaming on 2600k's with pascal cards
