So after dealing with a multitude of.... Issues... Let's just say computers are my major and this computer has been a nightmare... Anyways, I'm starting fresh, I can't bother myself with the stress of spending 7 hours on the phone for just 1 part for each and every one (pattern for the last 2) so I'm just replacing the entire build.

 

My theme is RGB, and this is a streaming/gaming rig. It has a 1440p monitor, and another 1080p monitor. Atm I use a Asus 1080 strix VGA which seemed to handle that quite well, so I'll be replacing that part I suppose. Just automatically include it in the build unless you think otherwise.

 

The case I had in mind was the Corsair Crystal RGB 570x I believe it was called. I just need to figure out what exactly would be most optimal for my Mobo, CPU, and RAM as well as the hard drive and PSU.

 

That's really it unless you want to include custom additions, but keep in mind that the price range im for the most part within is the parameters in which I built my previous Rig. That gives me about 1500-1600 to work with if I don't subtract the cost of the case and VGA in case you had different ideas in mind. I also already have a spare water cooler so no need to include that ^^ thanks :P

 

OH almost forgot! New Jersey! USA, so $$$ is my currency.

I'd wait for the 21st to see what coffee lake brings, but if we ignore coffee lake then get this(assuming you keep the 1080):

Good point, plus the prices of things might even go down :D also though the money has to include the Graphics card so I can't afford a thread ripper >_>

It's a bit over, cut the 1080TI to a 1080 if you can't stretch another $148
