This is my final build, I've spent a lot of time on it and made a lot of different desicions. Also, I already have a 1tb hhd and a 620w bronze psu (just bought the today). I'm also planning to buy a used 1070/1070ti to save money (ill buy whichever one is cheaper when the time comes).

 

This build is right in my budget, so I probably won't be changing much. I'm open to suggestions but I feel like this is pretty good. I don't plan to stream and do heavy video editing either, just gaming and a little light game-clip editing.

You can get a used 980 Ti for under 300, or a used 1080 for under 400. Both are insanely good deals, I would encourage you to look at those cards since you're already looking at buying a used GPU. 1070s seem to be about 300, and 1070 Tis seem to be about 350. So if you could spend just a few more bucks on a GPU you can get a 1080. It's all up to your budget though. All of them will complement your CPU at any resolution

I kept in mind all those cards, but the 1070 seemed to hit the sweet spot since it is quite good, and I can find the evga 1070's for 250-300 from non-shady sellers. I didn't consider the 1080 but I'll look

I have 1070 SC and the little fans are whiny, so I recommend one of the FTW cards with larger fans

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

1070 Tis are basically underclocked 1080s

 

personally I'd go 1080 but the difference isn't the biggest to where it would be a huge deal

Buying 5 case fans for a microatx seems weird to me tbh but the rest looks really good.

Has 5 120mm slots, I want as much airflow as possible
