New upper-mid range Gaming PC

[Axsif]

Greetings everyone.

 

After a year of putting it off and seeing the glory of crypto currencies rise and fall, I finally decided to build my new ascending machine...

 

Long story short, I plan to start with one 1080p@144Hz and then later on getting another monitor, possibly 4k with moderate performance at 60Hz. I wouldn't really like to go above 1400EUR, but I am reasonable person who can see the benefits of paying a bit more now for better value down the line.

 

Please ignore my hideous attempts at implementing RGB and color matching. I am open to suggestions (preferably something green, blue, or both). The memory in the list is the first one I found with blue RGB in my local store so I put it there. I expect getting something cheaper and less fancy (https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3CdFf7/gskill-ripjaws-v-series-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr4-3000-memory-f4-3000c15d-16gvkb ?).

 

I also included a more budget option I had in mind, so please, let me hear what you think:

It is just a gaming rig, or will you use it for other things? And do you want to be able upgrade the CPU (RYZEN) or just want best gaming performance for now (INTEL)

Add more storage as you see fit, left budget for peripherals

Thanks for going with Seagate! We're around if you come up with questions/need to reach out for resources on the drive.

Thanks for the responses. That was really quick. All part choices look very impressive.

I don't plan to upgrade in any forseeable future 3-4 years. Also I might do some neural network computing. 

 

Any ideas how to improve the first build around 1070(ti?) & i5 8600k?
