I am new to this and this is my first build so I'm not completely sure in some things. I am mostly going to use it for gaming, detailed gaming like call of duty ww2, racing games etc. The case and graphic cards cant change cause already have them. I do wanna keep it fairly cheap. What im wondering is how quick it will be? Any bottlenecks? Is it a solid setup? Here is my list:

 

1. Core i5 - 8600k 3.6Ghz 6 core cpu

2. Asrock fatal 1 z370 professional gamming motherboard

3. Corsair vengeance LPX ddr4 16 gb ram

4. Samsung 850 evo ssd 250 gb

5. Seagate - barracuda 2tb hard drive (2 of them)

6. GeForce gtx 1080 sc gpu ( 2 of them)

8. Thermaltake core x9 case

9. Corsair rmx 850 watt

you don't need 10 fans in that case, get a cheaper mobo for an 8700k and better cooler.

2 GTX 1080's kinda slap the i5 in the face. Could spend a few bucks more and get the i7 7700K which has a faster core clock and higher IPC which will give you a little less bottleneck in gaming, in which then you could save a few bucks by getting a Z270 board instead of a Z370 one.

 

16GB of RAM will suffice for now, as long as you're getting 2600mhz or faster.

 

I don't get having 2x 2TB hard drives, when you can get a HGST Desktar NAS 4TB 7200RPM drive cheaper (I've been using mine for 2 years now)

 

Other than that, pretty solid.

the 8600k has 2 extra cores while the 7700k only has 4 with hyperthreading, and no, the 7700k doesn't have higher IPC.

Yeah but you're talking 4 cores 8 threads, vs 6 cores 6 threads. And the 7700K overclocks higher too from what I've seen so far.

hyperthreading won't help a quad core perform better than a true 6 core.

Why do you have 2 1080s?
 
Can you return one?

What's the budget for the rest of the PC and what's your monitor resolution/refresh rate?

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

I have 2 because got them for a really good deal with the case. I'm not entirely sure about the monitor yet but as far as budget, trying to stay around 800 - 1,000 $ us

if you aren't getting the most for your money with ryzen the i7 8700 is a better choice than the 8600K IMO, hyperthreading being more useful than 700mhz single core.


Should really just sell one of the 1080s, there's little point in SLI/Crossfire these days.

*forgot the RAM

The cooler you had originally is not good enough and you don't need the fans
