Compatible?/Bottleneck?

[Flawizz]

hi, im a young student from Belgium, i gathered some cash and i've done alot of research on how to build a pc, now my question is, are these parts compatible, and if they are, do they perform well together or is there any bottleneck.

 

This is the pcparpicker link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WYfkYr

 

Here are the parts indivdually:

 

CPU: https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/693567/intel-core-i7-7700k-boxed.html

GPU: https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/545523/msi-geforce-gtx-1080-gaming-x-8g.html

MOTHERBOARD; https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/701537/asus-prime-z270-a/specificaties/

RAM: https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/458093/g-punt-skill-ripjaws-v-f4-2400c15d-16gvr.html

CPU COOLER: https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/294328/cooler-master-hyper-212-evo.html

CASE: https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/714221/phanteks-enthoo-pro-m-tempered-glass.html

POWER SUPPLY: https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/463794/corsair-rm850x-zwart.html

OPTICAL DRIVE; https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/587505/asus-drw-24d5mt-(bulk)-zwart.html

WIFI CARD; https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/482042/asus-pce-ac88.html  (yes i know, but i really cant connect ethernet from my room)

SSD1: https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/422397/samsung-850-evo-1tb.html

SSD2; https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/422395/samsung-850-evo-250gb.html  (for window, but is 250 too much? or is it enough)

HDD: https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/556435/toshiba-x300-(bulk)-5tb.html

OS: https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/453551/microsoft-windows-10-home-nl-64bit-oem.html (altho i will be buying this from microsoft original site, might be safe to get somewhere else for cheap, but i dont trust that, just goin safe

 

Are there any extra tips i should use when building this, also how does grounding work, some people say you should plug your power supply and turn it off, some say dont plug it in, some tell me to wear gloves, whats the easiest and most secure method of grounding? 

 

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

 

edit: anyone seen physical hardware stores around area of flanders? cant seem to find any :c  (sorry for my english but i think u get what i mean :D)

-do you need that good a wifi card?  

-you should probably get a smaller SSD and upgrade to a 1080 ti

-Are you in a rush? If not, I suggest you wait a month for Coffee Lake which is gonna give you 6 cores instead of the 4 right now.

Good build, are you just gaming or are you going to be using it for anything else? (Video editing, photo editing, heavy multitasking, etc)

sorry for late response guys, had to go to the hospital, but yeah uhm, i dont really use any money for anything, dad told me that i could work over at his office in summer vacation, gonna earn me bout 500bucks a week, will work 4weeks, he will pay extra if needed,i dont care about money, thats why im goin for an expensive build, and yes my uncle is an IT and hes gonna teach me lots of stuff, programing editing makin sites etc. so yes i am gonna need it for video editing etc. but mostly for gaming

nope, not in a rush, and yes i really need a good wifi card, but hey its only 90bucks, nothin much, rather have a good expensive one then a cheap crappy wifi card, yeah i will wait for that coffee lake, gonna build around july/august, also i need that 1tb ssd, but is 250enough for os ? or do i need more?

[Flawizz]

im so excited because its my first time, but im kinda scared i will mess up something, also that cpu cooler is cheap, which tells me somethings lacking, are there any better cpu coolers for higher price, even tho this one has very good rating :)?

[Flawizz]

you know i've always wanted to game on a pc, few years ago i bought a laptop for 1000€, the i7 sticker got me :D, was so dumb and didnt do any research, kinda pissed i have to play overwatch on 720low and still getting below 60 in huge fights, coming from csgo i really dont care about graphics, but i do give alot about those frames, but idm paying 3-4k to get a fancy rig with a 144hz ultrawide.

[Flawizz]

so how about these as ssd?

 

Samsung - 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
		Samsung - 840 EVO 750GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

 

 

120gb for only the os, and 750 for some programs, keep hdd for games that i barely play and pics/vids?

250 is wayyyy more than enough for an os. Os only takes up probably 20-30gb max.

 

There are cheaper wifi cards out there that'll work just fine, I believe gigabyte has one that supports ac wifi that's usually less than half of this. Yes it's a 2x2 vs. a 4x4 but is your wifi fast enough to handle it anyways?

 

By building around July/August do you mean July/August of next year?

[TVwazhere]

I would suggest upgrading the CPU cooler. Yes the 212 evo is good for what it is, but there are some slightly better air coolers (and much better liquid coolers) 

I have the PC-68 version of that card. The only reason I have it is because I have the router (RT-AC68) that pairs with it perfectly. Otherwise it's a bit of a waste

yes but i am thinking of building a cheaper one for now, untill i get the cash for my expensive build, what do you think of this?

hmm, can you maybe link one? also im going to do a cheap build for now, what do you think of this?

also do i need that 212evo on the cheap build? or is the stock cooler good?

 

cheers

On the cheap build you can use the stock cooler no problem

 

This is a significantly different category of PC than the first build. How long do you plan on keeping this PC?

untill i've gathered the money for my first mentioned build, which i will build around july. why if i may ask? is this pc not gonna last long?

No, kinda the opposite, depending on what settings and resolution you choose, (for example, 1080p 60fps for overwatch) this PC will do good for more than a year. That is, until games become more CPU intensive in which case an upgrade would be advised. No telling when that will be though. 

 

Then again, if your plan is to build it, use it and then sell it or give it to a sibling or something, I might consider using the new AMD ryzen platform so that they have options for expansion without having to buy a new cpu AND mobo (possibly ram) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Htw8Gf

yes, just overwatch,destiny2 and some previous call of duties, csgo and league, also i dont really care about the looks, i just need 60fps on 720 low, which yes i am getting on most of the games, but for example in overwatch, the fps drops down to 50 or even below which makes playing hitscan heroes very hard. and by the time i will need an upgrade, i probably already have got the first mentioned build, also yes i will probably giving this to my little brother once i get that other build, but i mean, im barely know ryzen amd stuff, so il just stick with intel and nvidia, they wont upgrade since they usually browse on the web and play games like minecraft. also, how do i actually ground myself when building a pc, some say i have to plug in the psu but turn it off, some say dont plug it in at all, some tell me to wear gloves, kinda confused how this works now.

Well if they wont upgrade, the first build will be fine.

 

As for how-to-build, there are LOTS of really good video tutorials. I'll link some of my personal favorites

 

This one is probably closest to what your PC will be like

Slightly more detailed but mid range build

And from our lord and savior LTT

dang, thanks a lot, im just scared i will order wrong parts, could i send you the tweakers.com links for all the parts? might be slightly different from the pcpartpicker site.

PCpartpicker does a good job with compatibility, so if it says it's all good, it's probably true (also I looked at it and everything seems to fit well)

 

There's not a whole lot that can "go wrong" unles you accidentally buy DDR3 ram instead of DDR4. PcPartPicker is great with this becasue when you chose your CPU, it only lets you select compatible mobo's and Ram which makes it a lot easier, down to things you might not have thought of like 6 or 8 pin PCI-E PSU connectors or CPU cooler height fitting in the case

i've looked into the 6/8 pin connectors (from psu to gpu am i right?) also cooler height, stock cooler looks very small, so i will probably fitt i guess.

Both of those, PCpartpicker already verifies automatically so you dont have to worry about them! Things like that is why we always recommend using the site, even for veterans

Scrap the 212 evo and just use stock cooler, get a different SSD (or just get a 250gb ssd since they're the same price as that one), and PSU wattage is way overkill.

well, wattage might be overkill, but can it damage  the rest? because idm giving 40bucks for a psu thats overkill.

 

this is what i've changed so far from the previous cheap build list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QqZKwV

 

(dont know if i've changed anything, think changed ram and motherboard)

No it can't damage anything but it's just a bit of a waste of money.

 

I suggest you save $30 by getting an sl308 for ssd instead or just pay $10 more for the 250gb 850 evo

hmm, ive changed more things, yes i need a wifi card, also theres no case, but thats because i couldnt find it on pcpartpicker...

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9kNFjc

 

Case: https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/770607/cooler-master-masterbox-lite-5/specificaties/

 

changed ssd to 250, think i changed some other things aswell. cant find case on that site tho, so i copied tweakers link for the case. what do you think of the case?
