New Build Help!

[AceD]

Hey guys,

 

Looking to buy a new computer end of this year, start of the next. 

This is the current build

An option I may have is to wait for volta - i think 1440p 144hz gaming might be volta's thing

 

Please leave reccomendations and that is really my maximum budget. (I'm in Australia btw so the prices will be in AUD)

Looks fine for a high end rig, but starting 5-6 months from now will likely mean most of those parts will have been replaced with newer releases.

Get Cryorig R1 or BQ Dark Rock Pro 3, don't let noctua ruin the aesthetics for you. And if you must, get a D15 instead

just a couple slight changes to get you a 1080ti.

1440p 144hz can be done with a GTX 1080 Ti even at high settings.

My advice is to ask again when you're actually about to build. The PC market changes constantly with the release of new products.

 

Good luck in the HSC ?

If you're building in a few months it's likely best to just wait for Volta and the 8700K

Alright thanks all who replied - I will definitely take into consideration the responses.

I will definitely need the luck - I'm pretty over it though - figured out it doesn't really mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of things....
