Need someone to check my build setup

[Viaz]

Hi there! Its time for me to build a new rig. I was wondering if there's any major things wrong with my build. I'll be adding more storage later on. Maybe another 16gb ram kit. Anyways, I would love to hear your thoughts.

 

1. Budget & Location
My budget in US dollars is around 2k, but I live in Denmark and our tech is abit more expensive. Anyways.. I'm more interested in if the setup works and there isnt anything major wrong with it.

 

2. Aim
Maxed out gaming rig/furture prof. Light photo editing.

 

3. Monitors
I am still looking for a decent monitor, so if you have any suggestions It would be appriciated. Thinking 1ms, 144hz, 2560x1440

 

4. Peripherals
Don't need those, since I already have them.

 

5. Why are you upgrading?
Tired of my prebuilt and feel like I'm ready building my own.

CPU on dead chipset is not future proof. Wait for Coffee Lake 8700k

Wait for 8700k or get r7 1700

This might be better idea if your going to upgrade now AMD has the better value to performance right now when it comes to the CPU and board or wait for Coffee Lake.

wait for coffeelake....cause new chipsets are incoming.....

 

Oh I wasn't aware. I'll definitely wait then. Any idea when it will be released? Can only find leaks about it.

I would get ryzen 7, to allow for more cores and better future-proofing, and definitely buy your windows 10 license form kinguin or other reliable windows key distributors for cheaper

Nope, i've bought around 5 licenses already from them with no problem, plus Paul recommends them.

Do Ryzen and use a corsair h100i not a kraken corsair is cheaper but same quality.

u dont need to shell out 90$ for the OS....

u can download windows 10 for free....the only downside of not entering  a  product key is that u will get a stupid watermark at the bottom right....

Its not $90 if you buy from kinguin.
