My first complete pc build

Something funny

Posted

Hi!

So I'm going to build a new computer with a budget of about 1800 dollars. It will be used exclusively for gaming. I will not be doing any editing, streaming etc.

I would like to do some light overclocking, nothing crazy but just a little bit to get a little extra performance.

I do have a complete set of components that I'm interested in but advice would be much appreciated!

 

This is what I'm planning to buy:

GPU: gtx 1070 ti

CPU: i5 8600K or 8700K (leaning towards 8600K) suggestions??

CPU cooler: noctua nh-d15

Ram: Patriot Viper 4

Motherboard: Asus ROG strix z370-E, MSI z370 Tomahawk, Asus prime z370-A or Gigabyte z370 Aorus gaming 5/7 if you would highly recommend it.

Case: Fractal Design Define S

PSU: Corsair RM750X v2

SSD: Samsung 860 EVO

 

All help is appreciated and as I said, feel free to leave any suggestions on better parts within the budget limit

Just a regular 1080p monitor 144hz refresh rate

Then you should get the 8700K if you're going coffee lake.

 

however with the current sale of near $200 for an R7 1700 that's kind of hard to beat IMO.

You don't need to go near $1800 with that hardware, you could upgrade your display to a 1440p 144hz IPS free-sync displays which are around $400, though that's probably not worth it.

Okay, so I've looked up all those components on sites in my country and it seems like things are a lot more expensive here. That cpu you listed is actually more expensive than the i5 8600k here (i5 8600k costs 230 dollars whilst the 1700 costs 280) , same goes for the motherboard (although the asus prime z370-a is about 20 dollars more). The ram I chose is just 10 dollars more. Now the storage was a lot cheaper so I will definetly look into that. Graphics card is much steeper in price here as well (the same craphics card you picked can only be bought for 619 or more) and there was about a 10 dollar difference between the power supplies. With that said are the motherboard and ram you chose better than the ones i chose in any way? Do you think I should still get what you recommended or stick with what I've picked out? Also do you think I should just wait on upgrading until black friday and cyber monday comes around, that would be a pain but rather that than pay for overpriced components.

Sorry to be a pain but I appreciate the help!
