Noob Build

[AnkleSpankle]

Hi all,

 

Having been stuck with a GTX560ti and an i5 2500, it felt right to upgrade.

 

My current machine was pre-built and i feel like building this from scratch is something I can do, but I have absolutely no idea on compatibility and performance.

 

All I know is:

 

1. I like RGB lights
2. I want it to have a GTX1080ti
3. I want something I can upgrade for years to come, so not restricting myself with hardware that has limited options
4.  Did I mention RGB?

 

I have put something together on PC Part Picker - let me know what you guys think!

What's your budget?

Added some more RGB and dropped the price by a couple hundred.

It's ok, mobo is over priced. SSD is unnecessary so get an SL308/850 Evo/ MX300 and 2tb hard drive

Thanks - why the switch to Ryzen?
