New Build - Gaming

[Sure]

Hello,

I'm looking for a new build for 1080p 144hz around 1700$, without monitor/peripherals.

I have something in mind but i'm not sure which motherboard to get.

 

Intel Core i7-8700k

Noctua NH-U14S with NF-A12x25

Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3000mhz  2x8

970 evo m.2 250GB

1080ti - Strix/FTW3/AORUS

Corsair RM650x/Seasonic x-650

Corsair Air 540 with x3 NF-A12x25 front as intake, and moving the x2 140m to the top as exhaust.

 

Any changes and suggestions will be appreciated.

I'd suggest putting a motherboard in it

Due to the recent price increases to the 8700k due to price increases. you can do it a lot cheaper and get a 144hz 1440p freesync display. 

 

Something id personally do and later on add a better CPU.

 

Change case and other to suit yourself

For CPU-intensive tasks, this is perfect. It should perform pretty well in most games.

A 1080 Ti most likely isn't needed and a 1080 is still strong. It will have a bottleneck in games, though.

 

Go for GoldenLag's build if you do really need a 1080 Ti, otherwise this build is better in CPU-intensive tasks.

[Sure]

Thank you, I will go with GoldenLag 8700k one.

For 1.5K get at least 8 core CPU:
