New Gaming Pc

[PotatoOnYourDoorStep]

Hello to whoever is reading this,

I decided to finally switch over from a laptop that I’ve had for several years now, the main reason why I’m deciding to build a pc is because my laptop can no longer handle any games I run without overheating or seeing low FPS/Drops. The Pc Rig that I hope to build will be mainly used for Gaming and other everyday uses(School Work, Web browsing) that won’t put such a work load on my pc. I put together a pc part list linked below. As for what advice and help I’m looking for is either a whole new build which can fit my budget of $1000 you can go over $100 or $200 if it improves performance and better for the long run, or exchange parts in my current build that can help reach my budget goal. As for the games I will be running are CS:GO, GTA V, Fortnite, Gmod.

 

Main concerns 

-Good Airflow

-Overclocking

-High, Ultra or Max settings (on games)

-No serious FPS Drops/Bottlenecking

 

I will be responding immediately to any questions if I am available 

Thank you for helping and taking time out of your day

It's probably better if you bump the CPU up to an 8700k, 6 extra threads plus hyperthreading is worth it.

But it all looks fine.

Buy a better cooler, hyper 212X Dual fan is fine or a h60/h115i, for a 1080, i would recommend a i7 or a ryzen 7.  Your going to need a 512 gb ssd, buy 2 barracuda 1 TB and RAID 0 it for fast boots.

Sounds good but anyway possible for me to go under $1300

Thanks for your advice got any ideas of how to stay under $1300?

Try this, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ph2wq4

it only has a 1070 ti, but thats about the max your cpu can handle. I added winows and a 480 gb ssd, looks very familiar to my build  

buy a hdd if you want, would recommend 2 barracudas raid 0

Looks amazing what kind of frames do run on average on your typical settings.

I get 75 fps PUBG on 1440p on med-high settings with my 1079, you should be able to play most AAA games on high settings with 60+fps, 50fps battlefield 1 4k max settings.

that gammaxx 400 is overpriced, the ninja 4 is only a couple bucks more but so much better. same thing with the board, an SLI plus or extreme4 is just as good for less. the G3 has issues with protections so avoid it.

Thanks for a more in depth look and helping me avoid problems with the G3, the build looks stunning couldn’t ask for better advice. ? can’t wait to order the parts real soon and create this behemoth.

Quick question if you don’t mind me asking? 

Based on your opinion do think it would be smarter to also upgrade the CPU to a Ryzen 7 2700X or an i7 8700k or can the current i5 8600k handle the Zotac 1080

if you're just gaming stick to an i5 or i7, if you can shell out the extra an 8700k will last longer with future upgrades compared to the 8600k. if you can forego overclocking i'd recommend a locked i7 and B360 board.
