it's like riding one of these

the PSU with more than enough wattage to power something three times as powerful, just get the 450w version.

 

2200G and 8GB of DDR4 2400 are like the bare minimums for a gaming system, but you have a motherboard that's overkill and expensive.

 

in short: Lower capacity PSU, a more mundane motherboard, 16GB dual channel memory kit (preferably high frequency)

CPU: i7-2600K 4751MHz 1.44V (software) --> 1.47V at the back of the socket Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (BCLK: 103.3MHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: Adata XPG 2x8GB DDR3 (XMP: 2133MHz 10-11-11-30 CR2, custom: 2203MHz 10-11-10-26 CR1 tRFC:230 tREFI:14000) GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual (Super Jetstream vbios, +70(2025-2088MHz)/+400(8.8Gbps)) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (main boot drive), Transcend SSD370 128GB PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold Case: Antec P110 Silent, 5 intakes 1 exhaust Monitor: AOC G2460PF 1080p 144Hz (150Hz max w/ DP, 121Hz max w/ HDMI) TN panel Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion (Cherry MX Blue) with SteelSeries Apex M260 keycaps Mouse: BenQ Zowie FK1

 

Model: HP Omen 17 17-an110ca CPU: i7-8750H (0.125V core & cache, 50mV SA undervolt) GPU: GTX 1060 6GB Mobile (+80/+450, 1650MHz~1750MHz 0.78V~0.85V) RAM: 8+8GB DDR4-2400 18-17-17-39 2T Storage: HP EX920 1TB PCIe x4 M.2 SSD + Crucial MX500 1TB 2.5" SATA SSD, 128GB Toshiba PCIe x2 M.2 SSD (KBG30ZMV128G) gone cooking externally, 1TB Seagate 7200RPM 2.5" HDD (ST1000LM049-2GH172) left outside Monitor: 1080p 126Hz IPS G-sync

I think the system is ok, but you will probably run into issues with your 8 GB of ram. I am talking from experience... Windows is using more ram idle every day.

You will definitely be bottlenecked by GPU power.

8GB is fine

Very strange motherboard choice...just go for the ASrock Pro4, should be cheap/effective

You want like 3000mhz RAM at minimum

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

What do you do on your PC? 8 GB is the bare minimum. Open more than 5 chrome tabs and multiple VS code windows and your pc WILL slow down. The overhead for Windows 10 is already 4GB when idle. Please tell me what you do on your pc to minimize ram usage that much.

I have a 1070 and 4790K and my games are now bottlenecking on my 8GB of ram. (And, yes I know my GPU is way overkill for the CPU but i got a good deal on it.)

I have 16GB and I usually sit at 10GB of usage but I have a LOT of stuff opened. If I close it down I am at something like 5GB max.

And I dont use Chrome, I use Vivaldi which also runs on Chromium and I keep usually 20+ tabs opened.

 

There is nothing wrong with 1070 + 4790k, I run 1080ti + 4770k

 

Look, 4GB of RAM with so many tabs opened.
