New Build (maybe?)

[mk36]

Bunch of sale going around in Canada recently and got more budget since the last time I posted. I already bought the HD and SSD for $190 with Prime Day sale, so the price for this build atm is $1803.38 CAD.
Just wondering if I wait til the next gen CPU and GPU comes out, does rest of my build hold (I know its bad to plan that far ahead but still, all those rumors make me want to wait)

Currently:
1) Not in a rush to update since most game title I am interested comes out at Fall even Winter this year
2) No VR, saving for 1440p 144hz monitor at the same time

3) Budget is around $1700~1800 CAD

Thank you

Pretty solid start. However the Supernova NEX series PSUs aren't all that great because of meh-tier ripple suppression. It may struggle if you OC both CPU and GPU.

For 1440p 144hz, you'll need 1080ti

U sure? I play 1080p 144Hz with at least high settings on a 1070

Get the i7 8700 over the 8600K if you're going coffee lake, or possibly just save money with a Ryzen 5 1600/2600

 

Get a case that actually has airflow.

 

and probably go for a 1070ti or Vega 56 for free-sync savings if the price is the same.

And don't get a NEX PSU, go for the seasonic focus/prime gold.

How about EVGA G2 650W? since its actually slightly cheaper with the sale and its tier 1 on the PSU tier list. Can you also explain why 1070ti over 1080 given the cheapest 1070ti atm in Canada is only around $40 cheaper than most 1080?

Just go for the 1080 if pricing is that close.

G2 seems fine, it's just a bit older.

How about the Corsair TX550M? More recent than the EVGA G2 despite being only tier 2.

If it's decent and cheaper just go for it.
