Sure man! It is more than enough for your system. And the vs-series are good psus.

Oh nice! I was pretty worried about it but you've given me a little relief.

Hey guys!

 

I'm new to this forum, and also all the PC tech and everything.

 

I'm thinking of buying a brand new PC with the following specs:

 

Processor:  Intel Core i5 8400

Graphics Card: Gigabyte GTX 1080

RAM: 8GB DDR4

Motherboard: Z370

Storage: 120GB SSD/1TB HDD

Case: K380 cooler master

DVD Writer: Surfer Drive 

Monitor: 22" LED HP N220

Power supply: 700W

Cooling: 120mm fans (2 pieces)

 

Is this a good buy for around $1600 USD? Is anything bottlenecking? I know that my monitor is only 1080p and I won't be able to make full use of the GTX 1080 with it, but I really want a future proof build and I might replace the monitor in about 3 years for a 4k one anyways. Any tips? 

 

PS: I don't plan on over clocking as I'm fairly new to the gaming PC bus.

BUILD SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN THAT BUDGET......

Seems pretty sweet! But I live in Pakistan, and they sell almost everything at a much higher price here since it gets imported. The specs you sent me would cost me around $2000 although its only $1640 in your area.

The Antec VP 700P is also an option for the power supply; should I go for that or the Corsair vs650?
