Hey guys, I need some help and advice on my first ever gaming setup. This is what I have down so far:

 

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/Myt6jy

 

I will be using this PC for mostly gaming and personal use, and my budget is 2500 CAD including monitor, mouse, and keyboard. I think I also would might need a little bit more storage.

 

Can you guys give some suggestions? I'm still very new to PC building.

I thought ryzen might be a more affordable option and dropping to a 1070ti, but the budget is still too tight IMO, plus peripherals will easily add another $200 for decent ones.

That's weird... The case was $100 and the SSD was $200. I think the motherboard was around $240...?

Sorry, I didn't see your response, I don't really plan on OC'ing at the moment, but I probably will in the future.

There's only so much you can do with the expensive parts you wanted. I got as close as I could and even then the budget went kaput. I think you should consider a Ryzen build, either that or increase the budget a LOT or drop the expensive parts to a more reasonable level, for example you have a $500 1440p monitor, you can get a high refresh 144Hz 1080p monitor for around $200-ish IIRC. A 1070ti would be almost half the price you want to pay for the 2080, and so on.

By dropping the 2080 for a 1070ti, you could now have almost $400 to spend on peripherals, or get the better monitor or whatever. I would suggest just having 1TB SSD and a 3TB HDD, some games don't seem to improve loading times on SSD anyway, so my advice would be to load them on the SSD, and swap around between your HDD when you need to. It could get very expensive trying to have everything on SSD. Anyway, hope that helps :)

By dropping the 2080 for a 1070ti, you could now have almost $400 to spend on peripherals, or get the better monitor or whatever. I would suggest just having 1TB SSD and a 3TB HDD, some games don't seem to improve loading times on SSD anyway, so my advice would be to load them on the SSD, and swap around between your HDD when you need to. It could get very expensive trying to have everything on SSD. Anyway, hope that helps :)

Thank you! I'll be sure to check it out.
