Most FPS for Games

[Colecjc]

I primarily play Player Unknowns Battlegrounds, Black Desert Online, Guild Wars 2, Overwatch, and other FPS/MMOs. I want a build that gets very high FPS in these types of games. I am also interested in it being at least somewhat power efficient (Black Desert Online is a game designed to run 24/7) and having the ability to be quiet if I want to turn the fans down. What are your opinions on the setup I am thinking of now? Budget is less than $3,200.

Revised build for now, anymore recommendations? In particular what do you all think about the BeQuiet fans vs Noctua?

I could also use case recommendations, I'd prefer smaller/mid tower cases with excellent airflow. Any interesting case ideas?

Don't get a 7740X. The 7700K is a better option

The 7700K is still better than the X299 chips for gaming, though Ryzen is often a better choice (gets you higher mids and lows, making gameplay more stable). It's also cheaper.

[Mira Yurizaki]

There's no need to get a NVMe SSD, since they don't really improve performance on loading times as much as a SATA SSD does. And storage speed has almost no impact on in-game performance.

if  you want 80plus titanium, why not get the cheaper and better seasonic prime?

Lol...7740x. Neutered 7700k that has a higher tdp and can't make use of the x299 platform because pci lanes.

 

It's your money, though.

If you're looking for max FPS, Ryzen isn't the best option....

I know. By for a max low FPS, and more stable frame rate, it's much better. Anything above 144fps is wasted on most monitors, so max fps is generally a waste and just for bragging on benchmarks. If you're a competitive CS:GO or Overwatch player, then you may want massive fps. 

[Princess Luna]

I always knew that if your Motherboard costs more than your CPU you're doing something wrong.

 

I think an i7 7700 with a h110m and a nVidia TITAN Xp would provide more fps on games that are more GPU depended like The Witcher 3, Tomb Raider and such.
