1200$ gaming pc build

[Beastbuilder66]

Hey I am going to build a pc in the next few weeks at a budget price around 1200 USD and the pc will mostly be used for gaming and video editing. Hoping people could give me ideas on builds

[AskTJ]

Ryzen 7 1700 and a 1070/ti, with 8 or 16 GB of ram.

[LienusLateTips]

R7 1700 + 1070 Ti if video editing more, i5 8600K + 1070 Ti if gaming more.

not even worth to try to best this one...it's epic for the price.

[i_build_nanosuits]

in fact, this would be better because the case is better and the graphics card is not a blower card...so this one is better and it cost a bit less...motherboard is cheaper though but it's still plenty fine...and it has a better CPU cooler:

I really like that case and nice catch on the blower style GPU, I much prefer the one you suggested. 

 

However the motherboard looks like has compatability issue with m.2 ssd (shown as M.2 E need M.2 B or M for SSD) Correct me if I am wrong please. But I would keep the original extreme edition

no, this motherboard supports M.2 M type and M.2 Sata 3 and pcie gen 3 X4 (like all Z370 motherboard i believe, since all this is controled by the Z370 chipset which is identical on all Z370 motherboards)

 

it will work with the SSD just fine

 

These are the M.2 specifications for this motherboard:

2 x Ultra M.2 Sockets (M2_1 and M2_2), supports M Key type 2230/2242/2260/2280 M.2 SATA3 6.0Gb/s module and M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32Gb/s)**
** Supports Intel Optane Technology
** Supports NVMe SSD as boot disks
** Supports ASRock U.2 Kit

 

The M.2 E slots are for WIFI support:

1 x M.2 Socket (Key E), supports type 2230 Wi-Fi/BT module

 

 

The other motherboard you proposed is higher end, it has led lights and a better VRM, but for normal overclocking the Pro4 will handle just fine.
