Why not add some M.2 SSD like a 970 Pro or something

Otherwise it looks nice enough

My plan is to get a 970 Evo 500GB. But every time I suggest that build on r/buildapc discord chat, everyone loses their minds.

Id recommend going 1440 high refresh ultrawide for the budget you have, its much better than a 16:9 display.

Swap the 1080 Ti with an RTX card or two :3 ?

I'm curious if Ray Tracing will be supported by RPG games. I guess it really depends on the developer of the game.

Predator X34,

 

I personally use an MX34VQ and have no issues with tearing with a 1070.

As of right now, I already have the meshify case.

 

I was wondering with the gigabyte triple fan GPU, will it fit on the case along with the CPU Cooler?

Yeah, it'll fit

Also, that h500 case is way better than that megify case
