Lotta ram and a 1070 with 3 screens......

Flight sim?

[Lurick]

Nice, I personally would have gone with a single higher rez and refresh rate monitor but still very good

So are you looking to game across 3 monitors ?

 

What is the pc being used for ?

 

Also what is the overall budget ?

[Cyracus]

what exactly are you intending to do with it, critique for a gaming rig differs from that for a workstation

[seon123]

You can get the TX550M PSU for the same price, so change it. 

Do you really need the 32GB RAM and 960 Evo? For most tasks, 16GB is enough, and a normal 2,5" SATA drive would perform essentially the same. That might allow you to upgrade to a 1080, or to get a higher capacity HDD.

Maybe change the CPU cooler to a cheaper air cooler (Be Quiet Dark Rock or something from Noctua maybe). The crappy TIM on the CPU makes the difference between a good air cooler and a water cooler much smaller

I will use it as a gaming rig bit also some work. I will game across all 3 monitors

I spent $150 on my nvme drive, and I regret it, offers no real improvement over a standard sata3 ssd that I could've got in comparable capacity for half as much., maybe you could use that to get a 1080 and get some real gaming performance improvement

you were really unlucky i bought mine for almost the same price a SATA drive was for my capacity and i welcome the saved space and no more cables for the slight premium.

It has a lot to do with samsungs nvme drives being rather expensive. And I just checked pricing again, I could've sworn ssds were running cheaper, still money to be saved

Haven't researched wd ssds

Thanks for all of the feed back I changed the m.2 to a WD 250gb ssd and put in a Gigabyte Gtx 1080 and it came out around the same price... Thanks again!

Change the PSU to the TX550M. They cost the same (after rebate), and the TXM is much better. 

The WD Blue SSDs are just rebranded SanDisk SSDs, So they are quite bad. Get an SL308 or 850 Evo instead. They cost the same. The 850 Evo is the better one.

Ok here it is

This PSU https://pcpartpicker.com/product/dDH48d/corsair-txm-gold-550w-80-gold-certified-semi-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020133-na

Looks good otherwise

Remember to quote. 

Looks fine. Though, if you want to overclock the 7700K, you may want to spend a little more on a better CPU cooler. An NH-D14/D15 or Dark Rock. Or a 240 or 280 mm AiO. The 7700K gets surprisingly hot

Or do you think this corsair h55 is good
