Hey i have finally decided to build a pc and would like to hear any feedback and recommendations you guys have. It will be mostly for gaming and editing. My budget can be adjusted. I plan on overclocking this beauty.  Because i never had an PC i need all the peripherals, so if you can recommend something that would be great. Now to the system: 

 

CPU: Intel i7-7700k 4,20 gHz
CPU Cooler:  NZXT Kraken AIO x62
Motherboard: Asus STRIX Z270-E GAMING ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: HyperX Fury 32GB kit 2666MHz DDR4 Non-ECC CL15 DIMM (is this compatible with the rest?)
Storage:  Samsung 960 EVO MZ-V6E250BW Interne Solid State Drive (250GB)
Video Card: Asus ROG Strix GeForce GTX1070-O8G Gaming
Case:  NZXT S340 Elite white 
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply 
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home Full - USB 32/64-bit  
 

Stuff I Still need 

 

1 Monitor:  should be 27 inches and 4k 

2 Mouse:  something cool not to complicated 

3 Keyboard: RGB would be nice but is not necessary, numbpad is important and it should be as small as possible (this will be for gaming) for editing and work i will use the Apple keyboard 

4 Headset: i dont really care, but a microphone would be nice

 

So if you want to rate this system and give me some advice feel free to do so. And for the stuff i still need, just say what you like and happily use. 

 

Thanks to every one in advance.

Why the 4k monitor?

Not sure a 1070 would drive the 4k resolution sufficiently in all cases...

Plus the ryzen 6 core and up should be much better for editing

For editing, get a Ryzen 5 1600 and use the money you save to get a GTX 1080 ;)

ah the problem is i already have the MoBo so i have to stick with intel. 

new mobo using a platform guaranteed for 4 years and an R5 1600 = less than a 7700k

Oh thanks for the info. i will google a little bit. thanks 

No problem, I'd recommend going 1440p though, as you can get lower response time and higher refresh rate monitors for much cheaper, plus if it is your first proper gaming PC you probably won't be unhappy with 1440 anyways. In terms of peripherals, it usually comes down to budget and personal preference. I'd recommend you go to a local tech shop and try some different ones out that are in your price range, and then work your way from there by checking reviews and researching online. For a mouse, I would recommend you try to stick within the Corsair/Logtech realm, as they are often the most available and offer outstanding quality and featuresets in most cases. For the keyboard, you should definitely try a mechanical one. Again, Corsair and Logitech have some of the best ones out there, and you could check out some of the stuff from Razer or Asus, as they also have decent peripherals. For the headset, if you want a gaming headset, the Corsair Void, logitech G 5/6/933, HyperX Cloud and steelseries arctis are all great and viable options for most peoples taste. As for the monitor, a good 1440p Asus Swift is among the best you can get, and if the pricing seems a bit stiff to you you should look into LG, Acer, BenQ or Samsung monitors. 

Other than that, you have a solid build. (yes, your ram is compatible with the rest). I would seriously consider something like a 1080 though, as it provides much better performance for around 150 USD or EU more.

Hope this helped

And a GTX 1080 will be much better for 4K. A 1600+1080 combo costs just as much as a 7700K+1070 combo :D

Only a bit more, but at 4K the 7700K won't be any faster than even a 2600K in games(because GPU bottleneck). And the 1600 will be better for editing.

1600 build needs a mobo though :)

Yeah, X370 boards don't cost more than Z270 ones (or vice versa) :D (I was just comparing prices)
