New Gaming Build

[CornyQuotient14]

I've been thinking of this as my final build, I would like to play triple A games at 1080p, I have a monitor and such. I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions.I'm also trying to stay in a similar price range. Thank you!

it doesn't look bad, but the mx300 seems overpriced imo.

it will work long as you keep your expectations in check but a 1080ti or 1070 sli will be better.

Can I just upgrade my PSU and add another 1070 later? And trust me, it will be way better than my current potato.

Yeah, I've went to different forums and got advice, they said it was pretty trust worth and good for its price. Any suggestions for a better SSD?

hynix SL308 is slightly slower than the 850 evo for $85, Mydigitalssd BP5e matches it in some tests for $93.

I recommend upgrading the PSU before you build, it'll be a pain in the butt to rebuild and you'll be saving money if you ever plan to upgrade.

Speaking of 1070 SLI, what amount of watts would you recommend for that

Any suggestion on wattage?

[Herman Mcpootis]

450w is enough if you don't plan to SLI but since you do get at least 650w.

650 to 700 watt is a safe bet,  get a good 700-watt psu.

I know it's a bit overkill but possibly a RMX 750w should support a crap ton of upgrades, and it's very reliable

Im mainly concerned about cable management. Are they easy to work with?

I was wondering about keyboards aswell. Would it be worth it to get an amazon basic keyboard and upgrade to mechanical later? Or should I just wait and save up for the mechanical? I don't really have a preference for types since I just have a basic laptop keyboard.

It's fully modular, and I believe the S340 Elite has cable clips which should help alot, anything really is a good choice above 650w

save up, it's worth it in my opinion.
