New PC build

[Moraveck]

Hello, this is my first post here. I would like to get some opinions on what I am aiming to build as I plan on making my purchase over the next week or two. 

I tried to use the part picker site but it didn't have all the parts that I chose off of Amazon.

I live in the US and this PC is going to be set up for gaming.

 

Intel 7th Gen Intel Core Desktop Processor i7-7700K (BX80677I77700K) & Intel Optane Memory Module 16 GB PCIe M.2 80mm

Cooler Master Hyper 212X CPU Cooler with dual 120mm PWM Fan Model RR-212X-20PM-A1
ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero LGA1151 (Intel 8th Gen) DDR4 DP HDMI M.2 Z370 ATX Gaming Motherboard with onboard 802.11ac WiFi, Gigabit LAN and USB 3.1
Intel Optane SSD 800P Series (118GB, M.2 80mm PCIe 3.0, 3D XPoint)
G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 3000MHz (PC4 24000)
Seagate 3TB BarraCuda SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache
ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 TI 8GB GDDR5 Turbo Edition
CORSAIR RMx Series, RM1000x, 1000 Watt, Fully Modular Power Supply, 80+ Gold Certified

Raidmax Viper GX II Gaming case Black w/Blue

 

Total: $2,165.71

I do plan on adding another video card in the future.

 

Thank you

much better imo and cheaper.

old platform, get an 8700k and Z370 board instead. why are you getting an expensive board and a dinky 212x? spend the money on a better cooler instead. no need for a 1000w PSU, 550w is enough. 750w if you're gonna SLI.

I don't recommend getting all the parts from amazon because they have hiked prices for some things.  Here's a list on pcpartpicker, its more convenient imo and I just like it better for finding lower prices.  Don't get optane and your cpu/mobo combo is incompatible.

Really not a good use of the budget

 

SLI is a waste of money

Are you only doing gaming?

What monitor resolution/refresh rate?

[Moraveck]

Wow, thanks for the responses. I love saving money

[Moraveck]

The monitor is Asus PB277Q 27" WQHD 2560x1440 75Hz 1ms

 

 

[Srishunbagasundaran]

aside from the above recommendations, you should seriously consider:

- size - when i built my pc i underestimated how big it would be. Make sure you have the space for it.

- motherboard series & size - you don't need a z series mobo, they are expensive

                                             - you can easily game with a H/B series mobo and even go medium/small mini-atx or micro-atx

 

Just somethings to consider

Well you don't really need to spend that much to get a good PC

Vega 56 since the monitor are free-sync, least the price is finally back to normal. Also comes with some free games

v56 is still garbage, because it costs too much. 64 is cheaper, but both options are bad for a reason. If he were to get a different monitor too, just go for g-sync seeing how high his budget is.

$425 with free games isn't too bad, assuming you care about the games.

Saving money is always nice.

Those are the games that come with the thing, you claim it on an AMD website to get the steam keys, or maybe it's all linked now to prevent reselling.

Really star control is the only one of interest it seems, strange brigade is likely to die off quickly.
