New PC Build

iadoN

Very quality looking build, super solid and will work well. My only advice would be good for a used 1080 from eBay if you're comfortable, but otherwise nothing needs changing outside of personal preference.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I needATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad

Looks like a nice build. Just a personal suggestion would be to take off the AIO cooler and use an air cooler instead like a Hyper 212 to save $75 that you could either pocket or put towards a significantly more powerful 1070 ti. There is no performance difference between the AIO and a good air cooler if you don't mind using an air cooler.

Meh some build specs...

Meh some inspirational quote meh...

Should I maybe get more case fans? I want my color scheme to be white/black and blue, another person said to buy a black case and get rgb fans to make them blue...

That would be a good way of going about it. I find thermaltake's RGB riing fans do quite a nice job

Uhhh

The hyper 212 is an extremely popular and well performing air cooler. And to address the AIO vs Air cooler thing there are several videos (I think even Linus has said this) that a basic AIO doesn't provide much of a temperature improvement, only quieter.

Meh some build specs...

Meh some inspirational quote meh...

Dude, I wouldn't recommend a hyper 212 to cool an 8700k.

I agree that a good air cooler is an appropriate substitute for a water cooler, but as a long time owner of the 212, I can attest to how crap it can be. (Not for its price of course, the value proposition is through the roof.) This build is more suitably accompanied by something nice from noctua or Be Quiet.

Yes you're right, I was thinking of the wrong thing. My bad, but I still think an air cooler would be a good idea.

If you're cool with ryzen then I figure this build will be pretty nice, you won't see much of a fps difference with a 1070 ti tier card.

I currently have an AMD FX-8320 and my friends say that Intel chips are WAY better. Which would you guys say is better Ryzen or Intel?

AMD chips are good.

But when it comes to gaming, Intel chips are champ.

Yeah, intel is best for pure gaming, but ryzen gives it a good run for its money when paired with decent memory. Also ryzen still has one more generation of upgrades on current platform.
