Is there any special feature that you want from the motherborad you chosen?

[NavyGuy2007]

Do you absolutely need the 1080 or would a 1070 do? That would probably drop you in the range you're looking for right there.

I mean, depends on price per performance, if the 1080 has more PPP than yes, a 1080.

Nope, I just want a motherboard to put my cpu in, no special features or overclocking wanted.

Buy used parts for memory, SSDS/HDD and PSU. Thats really the only way to save some money if you want to keep everything low, otherwise look for deals.

If you can get a white and black 1070, that'd be awesome, and would probably choose that if put with a nice white and black build.

Galax HOF, MSI Artic, MSI Dual, plastidip.

 

drop the motherboard for something cheaper unless there is something you desperatly need on it, its not X370 so i see no reason to get a $125 motherboard

given ur choice of 1080p 144hz monitor, I would say 1080 is more future proof if you still really want 120+ fps in 3-4 years.

especially when there is a $100 x370 board, to pay that much for a b350 is silly, just don't buy the cheapest b350 that are only rated for 65 watt tdp chips.

 

Here I got you under 1600 by swapping out your motherboard and PSU to ones that are perfectly fine https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pQB8NN

 

only way to get under 1500 is to lower down to a 1070

Any reason for the 8 core? Otherwise go 1500X I say.
