hi guys im new here,

im about to buy my new pc in about 2 weeks

im letting it get assembled at the store because i tend to have bad luck... hehe

im just not sure what to chose 

my goal is a build that will last a few years hence the pricey stuff

this is my list down here  --->     https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KMZwnn

and in the near future im planning on getting a 4k ips screen too to get more out of the gpu

but is it too much overkill?

i also dont know which case fans to chose yet

 

and does anybody have an idea what to do with my ridiculous wall outlet

it will be right next to my setup and i have no clue how to over it yet

mobo overkill, get ix hero instead.

 

Why such a weak CPU cooler for a 7700k?

 

Also, just so you know cooler and psu price aren't being included. Also, psu seems sketchy get something like a g2 instead.

 

And consider getting windows from kinguin instead.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

- Get a better power supply. Evga G2 and G3 are good.

- Nzxt S340 Elite, it looks a lot better if your budget allows for it.

- Different CPU cooler, get a h100i, the 7700k needs a beefy cooler.

- Get a cheaper motherboard.

- You can get a Windows 10 key from kinguin.

PS: I changed the screen as you shouldn't put 1080p screen anywhere near a 1080 or 1080ti 

oh i have those 2 for productivity im planning on a 4k monitor very soon but i do need a dual monitor setup because i need that for productivity uses too
i.e work related programs

and the 1 of those screens i already have 

btw i also already have the speaker,headset and gtx 1080

Doesn't the IX Hero look similar though? Too lazy to check :P

would this  one be enough

would fit my budget more

and the elite case i am afraid to test my cable skills on

is the cable management easy enough for that case?

Just get one of the 1080p monitors then. and save up for 4k. Why waste money on 2 ?

No, don't get a cooler master aio. Get Corsair or NZXT.

The Elite case is even better for cable management with more tie downs as well.

yeah i saw corsair is way better 

was considering Thermaltake Water 3.0 Riing RGB 240

but saw that its way weaker 

 

i also thought about the amount of fans needed

the elite case is stunning but are the amount of fans enough

or would the h440 be better in terms of cooling
