Is It Perfect?

[PlizGivMonej]

Hallo, I need help with choosing parts for my new computer!  

I need help with reducing the price to about 1600 dollars. It's for gaming and editing. If you have some tips and improvements please reply!

Thank You!

Swap the cooler for an H5 or Mugen 5. Same or better performance for a lower cost.

Swap the motherboard for a cheaper one. The Prime A or Extreme4 are good mid-high range options, and the SLI Plus ist usually available for a bit less, while not being crap.

Swap that Hynix kit for a cheaper one, or spend $5 more to get a much better Samsung B-die kit. 

You might want more storage for video editing.

Swap the 1080 for a cheaper one. The Asus Strix has a better cooler, but since the 1080 is a 180W card, you're fine with a lower end 2-fan card. The EVGA SC is available for $540.

That case has pretty bad airflow. Consider the Meshify C. 

$80 is actually a really good price for that PSU. The Focus Plus Gold 650W is available for $10 less, but won't be as quiet. 

You can get a Windows key from Reddit or Kinguin for $25.

Are you OCing? What kind of games are you playing? What is your gaming resolution at and targeted FPS? Would you be willing to go for a 1600x for better editing and slight drop in FPS? (according to this) The 1080 you have is a little pricey for not much of a gaming improvement over say the EVGA SC ($40 less). 

 

If you switch to an AMD you can get a B350 and save $100 on MOBO. If the games you play won't benefit from more ram maybe save a $100 and go for 8 GB at Single channel rather then dual for future work upgrade.  If you stick with Intel go for a lower memory speed RAM. Intel has performed really well with lower frequency RAM. Get a Windows 10 Key from Kinguin. That's where I got mine and I got the buyer protection (a must) and haven't had an issue with it. 

 

You will want mass storage as well for your editing work, go for a Seagate Barricuda drive or a WD Blue/Black at 2+ TB's. The PSU you have is a good choice but do you want to spend the premium for the fully modular aspect? Unless you do a cable mod with different colors go for a Semi-Modular PSU. You will save some money or get a better PSU for the same price. 

 

The front panel in your case may restrict airflow in your system, maybe look for one with a front mesh cover rather then a solid panel too.

Windows 10 OEM license does not permit use in a DIY build. Hence the more expensive full retail version.

1. I'm not planning to overclock 

2. I am playing games like CS GO, pubg, Battlefront 2 and skyrim and planning to get a 1440p monitor.  

3. I'm not THAT into editing but it is a fun if you have nothing to do. 

Thanks!

Don't get the extra CPUs with letters on them if you don't want to OC

What is your FPS target? Battlefront 2 will be your most demanding and the 1080 and 1070ti are within 3 FPS of each other. The 1070Ti may be a good substitute to save a few bucks.

Maybe go for the last gen CPU and get a non overclock able mobo too. Or if you have to wait for funds or something perhaps you can get a non-overclock mobo and keep that CPU.

Here's one with Zen. Trimmed the costs so I added a monitor as well

Here's a computer build that I suggest.

 

Don't bother paying full price for Windows 10.
