New build General Use and Gaming

Looking into building a new system. Here's what need from it.

  • High performance, future proof  for 7 year or more
  • Looking to spend under $1400 cheaper the better,(I only need a CPU Mobo and GPU and Maybe a PSU) have all the other stuff. 
  • Most chances will overclock in the future. 
  • Usage is for everyday use, gaming, school, work. no streaming, but maybe a little video or Photoshop work/rendering once in a blue moon. 

 

Card - Most chances GTX 1080 

CPU- Intel i7 8700k vs 7700k Or AMD Ryzen 7 2700x vs 7 1800x or any better

Mobo - Don't know yet still picking a Chip, but recommend one. 

 

I upgrading from a OC FX-6300 and GTX 760 AMP. Not sure how this system is still working well, butter its time for a change. So I am spending once crying once. 

 

Leave me recommendation and feed back on what setup I should go with, Thanks!

If you mean best cpu to hold on to for 7 years intel.

If you mean best upgrade path as to put a newer cpu in your system in a few years to get you to the 7 year mark get Ryzen.
