Bruh, he will only need 8gb ram, bcuz of the 720p panel. Also, let him buy a bit overkill 600w or 650w psu just to stay above the 500w mark and at the same time leave space for upgrading.

bruh, there's a 1080p monitor in the parts list. Also hardware in a $1000 build with new parts dont need more than 500w PSUs at all

He is not gonna buy a new monitor as he has already mentioned that he's gonna use a 720p monitor. A bigger PSU for a lesser price difference is always better for headroom for upgrading.

it is obvious that new monitors are not need at the moment. and even though can a rx580 handle games at ultra 1080p 60fps??

All he said is that he has a 720p monitor, didnt say he's sticking to it. An extra monitor also helps with work.

2700x + 1080ti still doesnt go past 550w, and I'm certain OP won't be buying hardware with that kind of power draw anytime soon. No matter how small the price difference is, it's still a waste of money when there's no gain.

That is not how RAM works.

 

Within the scope of gaming, sometimes 8 GB of VRAM (built onto GPU PCB, not bought separately) can saturate when a game is loading multiple very highly detailed textures (usually requires game mods to increase texture resolution to this point), but VRAM is not system RAM. System RAM will not be affected by VRAM (unless you have less VRAM than the instance calls for at which point higher frequency RAM may help, but that is totally not the point of this comment and does not relate to quantity of RAM anyways). 

 

TLDR: Monitor resolution does not affect system RAM requirements.

You are straight up wrong! @DuckmanIV DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS! More watts DOES NOT always = more better. !!!!!!!!WRONG!!!!!!!! @SidM is absolutely positively incorrect!

Almost entirely yes, but it depends on the game. I run 2560x1080 instead of 1920x1080 and I usually reach the maximum framerate of my monitor at 75 Hz. Just make sure Hairworks is OFF in Witcher III.

I didnt put a case in there but there is room in the budget.

1. CPU

2600 is way cheaper but does Ryzen 2600x worth it? not planning to OC tho

 

2. Storage

Is it okay only use 500gb SSD & ditch HDD?

planning to use 3-4years, reformat if SSD gets 80% full.

 

3. Video Card

Cost performance probably RX580. but should I get GTX1070 or higher if I want future proof? 

 

4. Case

Mainly ventilation, a case that focuses on lower the temperature.

For sentimental reasons? There's really no reason to be using a 1366x768 monitor, especially when you're talking about buying a GTX 1070. As demonstrated there is plenty of room in the budget for a new monitor.
If you really want to stick with your 1366x768 monitor, then you may as well save some money and just use integrated graphics on a Ryzen 2400G.

You could... But doing it that way means deleting all of your files any time your SSD gets a bit full and you want to install the latest game. GTA V + Witcher 3 + Assassin's Creed Odyssey will take up around 200GB. 
1TB HDDs are only about $45, so there's definitely room in the budget for one if you want more space.

even the 580 would be a waste if you're just gonna pair it with some lowly 768p monitor, especially when you have the budget for something much better. a decent freesync 1080p monitor would only cost $90-110.

 

not worth the extra, you're better off reading a few guides online and overclocking the stock 2600.

 

if you think you won't be using that much storage, you can get a 500gb SSD now and get a HDD later if you end up needing it.

This fits into your budget. Get it. But only if you get a better monitor.
