Help with my build :D

[Energize001]

Greetings! My name is Energize (You can call me Liam), and im in the works of buying a brand new pc from scratch.
I'm not 100% Informed as to wich parts are good and bad, wich is the best bang for my buck, ...
So hopefully I can find some help here!

 

1. Budget & Location

 

I live in Belgium so we use € over here, hopefully that doesnt mess you guys up too hard ^^
I have a budget of a Maximum of around €2000, I can push to €2100 if needed though. (Lower is always better ofcours)
So yeah, big build coming up hopefully

 

2. Aim

 

This pc is going to serve as a gaming pc (As well as programming, Im 18 and just recently started my programming education),

Wich games? I play games from very hard to run to not hard to run at all so: Battlefield 1, ARK: Survival evolved & The witcher 3 All the way to fortnite, yes fortnite (I can feel the hate coming).
Also what is very important to me is that it turns out to be a pc I wont have to upgrade/replace any time soon.

 

 

3. Monitors

 

Currently it would only have to run 1 monitor, but that is 100% going to be changed to 2 (1980x1080 resolution)

Im thinking about getting a 144hz, but i'm not quite sure yet (probably not)

 

 

4. Peripherals

 

As talked about earlier, I am going to be getting a second monitor, also Windows 10.

 

 

5. Why are you upgrading

 

My trusty ol' pc I got here has seen it's best days, it is completely unable to run high performance games anymore, even at low graphics.

What did I have in mind?

Please help me out on this, i'm far from the most smartest person when it comes to pc building & getting the most for the least price.

 

Processor

I was thinking about Intel i7-7700k or i7-8700k, opinions?

 

Motherboard

THIS is the part I really have no clue about what to get, I have 0 knowledge on wich motherboards are best, PLEASE help me out

 

Cooler

Also no idea on this one simply because I don't know wich one would be better to get, water cooling or air cooling, tips?

 

RAM 

16 GB DDR4 - 3200 Corsair vengeance 

 

Graphics card

1070 - 1080ti Somewhere along those lines

HDD & SSD

1TB of HDD (Wich one should I get? I yet again dont have a clue)

256GB of SSD maybe 500 if possible but probably not
Now I think I would like to get the M2 SSD, I don't really know the difference nor the difference in price, I just heard that the M2 is faster and it wouldn't really be worth buying

non-M2 SSD anymore. Again, wich brand?

Case

Couldn't care less, compatible & cheap would be the best

 

Power supply

Wichever is compatible I guess? I don't know if any brand is better than the other and also don't know how much power I would need for this build.

OS

Windows 10

 

 

Conclusion

Where can I/do I need to make cuts, where can I improve? 

Also notice I didn't put anything AMD in because I know even less about AMD
THANKS for taking the time to help me out if you do so!!!

Welcome to the forum 

 

Do you have any preferred stores here in Belgium?

[Christophe Corazza]

I would suggest something like this:

I know from experience that certain Belgian computer stores are crap when it comes to pricing.

Therefore, depending on where you intend to buy the parts, prices may vary slightly.

In Belgium, the online stores for pc parts are: "Bytes at work" and "Paradigit"

 

You actually have a lot more stores than those two ;-)
