Posted July 21, 2018 I have quite limited money to work on so I cut off some extra costs and planned not to overclock.Therefore,I've come up with this build that I thought would be sufficient for modern games. Motherboard: Asus H110M-K mATX CPU: Intel Core i5 8400 Six Core LGA 1151 2.8 GHz Cooling: Stock RAM: Kingston 16GB kit (2 x 8GB) HX424C15FB2K2 DDR4 Graphics Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 G1 Gaming 8GB HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB SATA3 HDD 64M Caviar Blue WD10EZEX PSU: Corsair VS Series™ VS550 550 Watt Case: Cooler Master mATX Case Elite 344 Blue Monitor: Samsung LS24F350FHEXXY 24inch Full HD FreeSync LED Total Cost: ~1600 AUD P/s: I'm really keen on getting the best performance from my PC rather than ensuring aesthetic aspects but I afraid that the i5-8400 might restraint the 1080 performance capacity. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 21, 2018 no point getting a 1080 when all you have is a 75hz 1080p monitor, get a gtx 1070/ti and use the money for a 240gb SSD, 144hz/1440p monitor and corsair CX instead. also, H110 boards are incompatible, you need a H310 board at least. CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Heatsink: Gelid Phantom Black GPU: Palit RTX 3060 Ti Dual RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz mobo: Asus X570-P case: Fractal Design Define C PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 650W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that the h110m works just fine with a LGA1151 socket like that i5 8400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
