What are you doing with this pc? Gaming? Streaming? Content creation?

 

If you cheap out a bit on some other stuff, I think you could fit 1080 ti sli in there, btw.

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.

No idea at the moment, looking at a widescreen 1440p one though I think. Some people have been saying to me to go for a 4k tv with low refresh rate but I don't know about that...

Mostly 1440p and 4k gaming. No real streaming or rendering.

Then get this ASUS ROG Swift Curved PG348Q Gaming Monitor

I wouldn't get that:

  • CPU cooler
  • that memory, there is probably better price/performance (i haven't looked though)
  • a 250GB M2 Drive to small for hassle free boot/C: drive
  • a 1TB 850
  • NO HDD??
  • that 'low-end' of a case at that price point
  • (people wil tell you to buy W10 of kinguin - I am sceptical)
  • Those corsair fans are all around meh. Price and LEDs are 'ok'

Yes I have suggestions.

Note though op, getting a 960 evo is a waste. NVMe doesn't improve boot times or app launch times, so I don't really recommend it no matter what.

Thanks for the input, I will get rid of the m.2 and keep the 1tb and get a 2tb WD black HDD. Can you give me a better suggestion for the 2 SP fans and memory and case?

Don't waste money on SLI. Support is basically non-existent. I believe gamersnexus has a video showing that in some new titles it actually gets poorer performance than a single card.

Entirely subjective my friend. What may be overpriced/overkill to you - will differ for others.

 

Solid build except for the case imo.

Yeah I am not keen on SLI, and in terms of CPU cooler, I am looking for water cooled.

Thank you. I think I may go with the corsair glass case but I heard building in it is quite tough...

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

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!

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.

Because the R7 1700 won't offer anything extra just for gaming.
