Asus Strix 1080 TI non-OC since you’re watercooling

 

Core i7 8700K

 

Trident Z RGB is pretty good

 

Go with EK for sure.

 

The Thermaltake View 71 is amazing.

Go for 144Hz then. You only really need it for FPS games, though.

What's wrong with the other companies?

And considering he's a new builder I thin he would be more leaning towards a AIO
 

[This kid builds pc]

1080 ti even for 144hz 1080p is wayyy over kill

You gotta be a bit more specific when you say Liquid cooling

also try not to build now unless you want to spend 1k+ on a GPU

i know nothing about water cooling so i'd need help on that and yeah im waiting out in hopes they drop this year a little i could deal with there original pricing but £900 for a GPU is wayyyy to much

Wait until the next gen release and go from there

what's the budget for the build

budget is £4500 or $6000 for conversion and that's complete maximum amount

Just as a general rule of thumb,you'll get much better performance building a series of 1.5-2k Pc's over a period of time compared to one 4.5k PC

With a budget like that you can get a 8700k, 32gb of ram, 1080ti, a 4k 60hz/ 1440 144hz monitor and all the stuff. Damn

yeah the build i would imagine will be 2k maybe with room for monitors and peripherals

You wont need to spend 2k on peripherals, save that money for something else. GPUs are a bit weird but with all that money I doubt its a problem

You can pick up a 1080 ti for around £750. Will be wasted on 1080p though as already mentioned.

In case you don’t want to get an AIO, here is a complete cooling parts list. (Could be just a biiit overkill but check it out, ok. ?)
