Is this a good mid tier Gaming pc - Note, I already have the 970 and the hdd, I also cannot afford an ssd otherwise I would have to compromise on the cpu and I think I'ts a smarter decision to put all my money at this point in time towards performance. if any improvements can be made please lave some feedback, Thanks.

No awfuljokehawk.

Get Prime B350 Plus, B350 Strix, MSI Carbon or Krait

 

Don't buy Apple M1 computers with 8GB of RAM

I think it would be better to get a 1060 and an ssd.

This is a solid budget build

main system build --> i7-7700K (at 5.0 ghz), MSI Z270 SLI Motherboard, corsair vengeance lpx 8gb ddr4 2666mhz,  costume liquid cooling loop with 360 mm radiator on CPU, GTX 1080 gigabyte windforce OC, 1TB WD drive, 128 gb samsung nvme m.2, EVGA 850 watt semi modular power supply, CM storm stryker case (ya not ideal for costume loop), VIOTEK GN34C 34 inch curved monitor <----

The fact it looks good and a bunch of sheep got it doesnt mean its good.

It has garbage VRM and shitty BIOS (MSI after all)

Bios is rarely used, and it is a decent overclocker

Overheats like crazy with R7. BIOS is importnant on Ryzen.
