Don't get Kaby Lake(7th Gen). Go Ryzen 5 or 8th gen Intel.

Kaby Lake?

Kaby Lake is the codename for Intel's seventh generation CPUs, such as the i7-7700K.

Should have mention my budget was around the 1800ish range.

You wont be able to overclock that CPU with that motherboard.

 

Only Intel's Z or X series motherboards can overclock CPU's ending in K. 

 

Additionally @Crunchy Dragon's advice is sound. the 8th gen Kaby Lake CPU's have no upgrade path, you'd have to buy a new CPU and motherboard if you wanted to upgrade in the future. 8th gen Coffeelake and AMD's Ryzen platform have longer life spans (Ryzen will be supported through 2020 according to AMD)

Made one that costs you 1300ish.

With this, you get a better upgrade path, a basically equal-power CPU, a better PSU, and a better GPU.

An overclocked 1070Ti equals a 1080 in performance.

Do you have anything in the $1700-$1800ish range that would be able to stream and run blizzard games no problem and video edit?

 

[Dedayog]

Buy a widescreen monitor with the remaining funds.

If you upped the CPU to a Ryzen 7, and maybe got 32GB of RAM, then you would be able to game and stream with little to no issue.

I'm not fully aware of what's available to you in Australia(going by your pcpartpicker link), so I'm not sure.

 

pcpartpicker does give you links to sites you can buy from, though.

Shop the components from the different sites they are found for the lowest overall cost

 

This is just as small tweak from @Crunchy Dragon's build.

Does Ram matter????,as long it the the same exact type as the other stick?

RAM does not matter. As long as it's DDR4, you'll be fine.

holy crap! you can do the i7 8700k that is a 6 core processor for almost same money. Hell you could do an i5 8400 if you are truly budgeting, that is also a 6 core processor. You want to get away from the Quad core's. Not that there is anything wrong with quad cores, but most games struggle on systems with 4 cores or less. You'd be saving money by getting the i7 8700k, i5 8600k or i5 8400. If you are spending that much money you might as well future proof your PC. You'd be saving money in long run. 

 

You don't need no 8 core processor or anything for now. But if you choose to go AMD then 8 core would not be bad for the price point. 

 

For power supplies I would at the very least get a 650. In PC parts picker your wattage at the top right should be half of your powesupply wattage. 

 

 

[Sernefarian]

So here's my go at this. Gives a monitor to grow into as well as superior cooling for what is in the case. Slight GPU downgrade along with a few other components in order to fit in the new 144hz monitor to go with it which the included 1500x(hopefully supporting a healthy overclock) along with the GTX 1070 should be able to feed beautifully.

Comes in at under the ~$1800.00 price point.

 

Give me a short while and I will have an Intel Variant like this for you.

 

Did some slight adjustments to this one before doing the Intel variant. Hold tight

Edited July 12, 2018 by Sernefarian
MUCH better cooling with this as opposed too the last variant.

[Sernefarian]

So I did what I could, but in all honesty over in AU the Ryzen build just has so much better legs under it budget-wise. Enjoy.

Am a little angry with myself for going over budget.
