Posted May 11, 2017 Looking for suggestions/improvements i can make on my future build. Anything is welcome and the budget for the computer is about $1000, could extend to $1100. Kind of have a black//purple theme going on here. Hints of Blue. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PFQcr7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 11, 2017 Ssd meh, would get 1600 instead, and psu meh. Also consider 580. OP, you said budget is $1000-$1100 but your build is $1500, just wondering why. Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples: Do this: Quote And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor! Or this: @DocSwag Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market. Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me! 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.

If you don't want the rgb and slightly better performance, and would rather save $50 you could get this 1070 instead. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/4fyxFT/zotac-geforce-gtx-1070-8gb-mini-video-card-zt-p10700g-10m Also, ya might want to consider a 580 instead and get a freesync monitor, especially since a 1070 is a bit overkill for 1080p 60 hz.
