Planning to build a new DESKTOP - seeking suggestions

[Shaheen1968]

I intend to build a new computer for viewing HD movies online, web browsing, ad other common software use. Normally I do not play game. I want very good Wi-Fi connection at all time.

Below are my choice for the new build:

Casing: CORSAIR Carbide 330R Titanium - max CPU cooler height 160mm - 6.8kg- 2 Fan included

PSU: Corsair TX550M 80+ Gold S. Mod.

CPU:  Intel® Core™ i7-7700K Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.2 GHz)

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z270X-GAMING 8

CPU Cooler: Cryorig H7 Single Tower Heatsink QF120 120mm height 145mm

RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 3200 MHz C16 16GB

SDD: Samsung 960 EVO 250GB M.2 PCE

GPU:Gigabyte GTX1050 Windforce OC 4GB

Fan (Additional): CoolerMaster 12cm Silencio FP120 PWM

ODD: ASUS 24X SATA DVDRW Retail

OS:Windows 10 Home 64bit English

MSOffice: Microsoft® Office Home and Business 2016

Key board and mouse I do have.

 

Any suggestion on compatibility issues or possible improvement considering my limited budget........

so you're just doing a simple web browsing build or are you also doing video editing/rendering? what's your budget?

Weird. The CPU and GPU arent a good combo here. Reconcider your choice.

Budget USD1700/-

What could be better GPU to match?

Video editing/rendering will do also but not that frequent.

You really don't need a $1700 PC for web browsing, movies and light video editing/rendering.

 

I didn't think that would be particularly difficult to figure out.

cut down the cost to around 800$ or 1000$

 

i would go for ryzen 1700 with a mid range b350

for storage go for, 250gb 850 evo and a p300 3tb toshiba hdd (79$)

a decent cpu cooler like a noctua nh12s, will allow you to overclock to 3.9ghz without questions.

16gb 2x8gb ram (100-120$) overclock the ram to 3200mhz (boom, same performance as 7700k in games)

gtx 1050ti or rx 560 perfect for your needs

save a little money, go for evga 550w bq or b3 bronze power supply

 

this setup is high end desktop, it will cost you no more than 1000$

since you said you won't be gaming as much, i would highly recommend ryzen for extreme multitasking, video editing n even for AAA game titles.

As long as I am not feeding a troll, but a $300 dell and clone the HDD to an SSD. Take the rest of your money and invest it.

Where to invest? in IT?
