i7 then buy more ram later when you can afford it.

or heck just buy a 1070 and save some money , i cant imagine paying 750$ for a 2 year old gpu at this point simply because of an artificial inflation from mining.

the thing is i cant get ram from new egg  or any online shop and a local shop sells 8gb of ddr4 3000mhz for 110$

im sorry but i only just now notice the build has a 25$ case and no ssd at all....it's just going to be run off a hard drive?

you should go to the building section and get your build sorted becuase this is a lopsided mess right now. don't buy a machine with a 1080 stuffed in a 25$ case with no ssd that's going to be a terrible way to spend 1300$.

i forgot to say that i have an ssd. I posted 3 fcking threads about this and i still forgot to mention that. Also the case even if 25$ Is really good! If you wanna see price, then on new egg its 60$
