Upgrading my pc

[modestep15]

Hey guys,

 

I was wanting to make this build any feedback will help, cheers

 

Parts-

CPU: Intel coffee lake I7 8700K

GPU: Asus ROG Strix GTX 1080 ti 

Memory: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16gb (2x8) 3200Mhz

PSU: Corsair RM650W Full Modular 

Water Cooler: NZXT Kraken x62 AIO

Drives: x1 samsung 970 EVO 250gb (or 500gb) M.2 and a 2tb seagate hdd

Case: NZXT s340 Elite ATX

Mobo: ASUS ROG Strix Z370-F

 

It would be great if anyone could give me feedback on choosing these parts such as any changes I should change for the better or anything else.

 

Thanks guys!

Instead of moving to a whole new platform, personally I think it would make more sense if you just upgrade your CPU in your current system to either an i7 6700K or i7 7700K (BIOS update needed).

Yeah I could but I really want to donate my current system to a family member that really deserves a pc so as I really appreciate the recommendation but I was wondering if all the parts in the build I want to do will work well together, Thanks again!

I was about to say that sounds like a new build not an updrade lol

 

Looks like a solid build, don't forget to check the qvl to make sure everything is compatible with that mobo. I made a mistake before by not checking an the ram wasn't compatible 

Also I see a lot of RGB stuff on that list so if it were me I'd choose a different AIO cause nzxt uses the cam software while everything else uses aura sync

Looks like a solid build, but I would go with the 470 mobo instead of the 370. Also don't forget to check the qvl to make sure everything is compatible with that mobo. I made a mistake before by not checking an the ram wasn't compatible

I'll look into those tips thanks dude

I don't know if i'm missing something but the 470 mobo I found seems to support amd processors but i'm going for an intel.

Intel does z370 boards atm. AMD boards are X370/X470. 

 

Z370 board is the way to go with the coffeelake build you posted

 

Whats you budget and usecase?

My budget is around $4000 NZD which google says is $2789.76 USD and my usecase is for gaming. At the moment im at 1080p 144hz but am think of going up to 2k or more, may possibly use VR. Thanks
