Cheap Modern Gaming Build

Tumor12

My friends looking to build a new gaming PC for not too much over 2000 NZD, and with the release of Coffee Lake CPUs and Vega GPUs I thought It'd be a good idea to use these new specs in the build, heres what I came up with: https://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/98tbJV

 

Obviously the prices for the Coffee Lakes prices aren't out yet but i though one around $350, similar to the 7600k

And I've not looked into what motherboard is needed for the Coffee Lake CPUS

I would suggest looking at the price of the competition when it comes to Vega. I wouldn't get the rx vega 56 unless it is the same price as a gtx 1070 same goes with the rx vega 64 and the 1080. Honestly the rx vega 56 is the only one that makes sense to buy at it's original suggested retail price. Also you are going to have a hard time finding the rx vega 56 in stock.
