Thinking of getting a new build to treat myself for getting a new job with much better pay. I game on my computer and want to get into Video editing but also just want some good old hardware porn sitting on my desk. I want to keep it under 3k. Here is what i had in mind.

 

CPU: i7-8700k

GPU: ASUS GeForce 1080 TI

MOBO: Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 7

CPU Fan: NZXT Kraken x62

RAM: 32GB of Tridentz Gskill or corsair dominator

CASE: Inwin 805 Infinity

 

right now i have a 1200W PSU and fans and M.2 SSD and 500GB SSD so im good on storage and power. Please give me any advice or recommendations. Thanks!

 

Extra: And how do you guys get rid or sell of your old rigs? I have a 4790k Right now with a custom loop and a gtx 1080 with 16GB of ram.

You've got pretty much all the highest end stuff. But going from a custom loop to an AiO?

The case looks beautiful, but it's definitely form over function. https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/2740-in-win-805-infinity-case-review/page-2

You might want to swap the case, and/or add some decent fans

:)
