>>719020235

If you have a shit load of money to spend then yeah it looks good. I wouldn't cheap out on a power supply though, get a gold certified one. Maybe dump the evo heat sink and get the cheapest corsair liquid cooled one, I think it's like $70.

console switching to a 4k rig u wot m8???
also that cpu is overkill

>>719020235

This has to be troll. Why would you spend $650 on RAM and get 2tb worth of SSD and then only spend $20 on a heat sink and $50 on a PSU. Lmao.

>>719020235
you are going way overboard

>>719020235

Are your parents paying for it?

OP here. Yeah I have no idea what i'm doing. Never ever have I looked into a PC and on some things I just decided "hey lets sort from most expensive and go with that"

Power supply, more power.. several smaller ssds instead of two big uns.. what do you plan on playing? Not sure how 1440p with only one 1080 gtx is gonna do you for in the future. Also why so much RAM? What else.. get another monitor if you don't have extra.. get a better mechanical keyboard.. OS, no love for win 10?.. i never fucked around with liquid cooling so i got no recommendations there.

>>719020235
Couple Tips.

- Get a Gold or higher PSU.
- Drop one of the SSD's and get a 4TB HD (for storage). Install apps / games to the SSD.
- Get a 2nd 120mm Fan for the CPU as the 212 only comes with 1. With 2 you can do a push / pull configuration.
- I'd get a HAF-X Tower. It's one of the best towers out for air flow and spacious as fuck and will easily fit the Graphics Card you're getting, it's not as pretty as a lot of cases though.
- Careful with the ROG Swift, you might have to return it. They've been having a lot more batches with Screen Glow problems.

>>719021290
Wouldn't SSD's be nicer since it does have that edge of faster loading? I currently have a 1TB SSD on my PS4 and it's definitely been a help with loading speeds. Some small but some very big

Windows 7? Why?

>>719021515
That board supports M.2, so you could actually get a m.2 chip for even faster speeds.

You can get that monitor as a refurb from newegg right now for 350 shipped, which is a fantastic deal(nevermind the occasional promotion discounts from shit like visa checkout, which is like 30 bucks off).

I bought mine about a year ago for 425, it came with everything and literally still had the protective peel plastic on the back. I take it there were initially dead pixels, so someone sent it back, they made sure it was ok, then re-sold.

You're down to only a 6month warranty, but i've never had a monitor just stop working for no reason.

Start by changing your shitty taste in mouse and keyboard, get something actually worthwhile like a K70, Strafe, CM Storm Quickfire, or a G910 or G810. And depending on what kind of games you plan to play (FPS, MOBA, MMO, all kinds, etc), get something like a G900, G Pro, Corsair M65, or anything else worth putting money into. If you have this kind of cash just laying around, there's way better mice than a shitty DeathAdder, don't buy into the Razer meme. Also, get a good mousepad(literally just pick up a SteelSeries QcK and you're set) and sound card, if you're going to get headphones like that. You may also wanna splurge for some RGB lights and a second or third monitor, there's some rather good utlrawides and 4K displays, if you're gonna get only one monitor, you may wanna get an ultrawide since it'll be better overall. Here are two options:

>>719023613
I only recommend the adapters because you may be interested in emulators and shit or games you can play without losing edge by using a controller, etc, not to just get better graphics then slap a controller on it anyway.

well that's what one of them has to say about your comment

>>719020235
your PSU is too small for that rig tbh, id go 600w at least, and if i were you id get a seasonic one

7700k is an overpriced piece of shit, either get the top of the line i5 or go xeon/extreme

RAM speed flat out doesnt matter in gaming beyond DDR 1600MHz dual channel

if youre spending that much on SSDs, consider going NVMe, with a PCI-E card to facilitate it if your board doesnt have support for such an SSD, and definately not over SATA

the razer blackwidow is a shot choice of mech, look at coolermasters shit or some other brand

>>719023613
Controller is still a must.

Obviously RTS and FPS you want KB&M, But platformers, action games and the like are all better with controller.

Get a Mac and continue playing console games and laugh knowing you'll get every game and they won't. Pc gaming sucks so much. You'll be much happier.

>>719023667
I'm not judging you, but at least get shit that's worthwhile. Razer meme is dumb as shit, they have some nice products, mostly their laptops and old-ass DeathAdder, but there's also shit like getting a graphics card that's good and expensive, but may be far more than you need. Also your power supply looks a bit low in wattage to me, but I'm too lazy to calculate rn, so double check all your parts and get something a bit higher. If you get something like 520W for example, grab a 600W or something in that range.

>>719023802
I'll still have both. Not just getting a PC and dumping all my consoles in the trash

>>719023732
K70 and K65 are pretty expensive, but they're pretty good, just get them from a place where they aren't like $50 overpriced or something else that's similar in quality. Razer DeathAdder is a fine, simple mouse, but there's way better shit that does the same job better or equally that's more worthwhile. I said Razer is a meme, not the DeathAdder, plenty of people new to pc gaming shit think it's like Apple and you just grab the expensive shit with logos that sell

>>719023802
PC gaming kicks the shit out of consoles. I like being able to mod my games, and mod them with any mods, not mods of specific sizes, and have to be authorized, etc.

I also like knowing that if I upgrade my computer, all the old games I own are still going to fucking work.

I also like having access to shit like Steam and not having to buy faggot shit like Live and PS Now.

The only downside is that I might miss out on one or two decent exclusives every couple of years. But most games are multiplat these days.

So after all this and chatting with friends. I came to this new list. I think it should work.

>>719023888
Pc gaming isn't worth it. There are no good games that aren't on console first. Modding is only so much fun until you realize it ruins the experience. Windows is on its way out and Microsoft are going open source. Windows 10 is last version of Windows. Microsoft ain't making Windows after this. Google it if you don't believe me. If you want true long term commercial support get a Mac. Your other choice is the cringe fest that is Linux. We all know unless you're some haxor or child molester with gigs of cp Linux is useless. Your only choice is consoles and a Mac.

pc gaming is awesome if you like them pretty graphics and dont get a lot of sun cause you never do shit outside.

but for normal people like myself, who have friends, a girlfriend, and travel, and like to form meaningful human connections with others... consoles work best.

we simply dont have time for all that shit. (modding. kek)

i am sad that you dont like the sun, or going outside, or human contact anon. enjoy your shitty porn and mountain dew.

>>719020235
If you are trying to blow money might as well get some dece peripherals too, dont forget a wired xbox360 controller, some kind of speakers, and any other random shit you might want. I really like my Razer Orbweaver for League and Rainbow Six Siege among other things (and get a wide mousepad)

I wouldn't drop so much, and just get more vidya, my 970 still runs all my games at 60-80 fps on max graphics 1080p

>>719024118
Don't bother with an SLI. Unless you're going for more monitors it's not that great of an improvement. Also keep in mind the 1080ti (best version of the 1080) is right around the corner.

And I'd also stay away from ASUS, they make good quality items, but have HORRIBLE customers service on the off chance that something does fuck up. They do not cross ship. If your GPU dies, they'll want you to send it in, try to fix the problem on the card, and then either send it back to you if they fix it, or just send you a new one.

>>719020235

as long as everything fits it shouldnt be a problem.

it IS a problem for which sucks. my computer runs too because the NZXT H440 constricts the airflow too much for my rad on my 9590.

Kinda my fault because of how fucking hot the 9590 runs. I have to have the top and front panel off my computer otherwise it overheats. I think the only way to get it to stop voerheating is switch to a custom loop but I have no job and no money so I jsut have the case open.

>>719024486
It can be, but you do have to make sure it will fit the GPU. Those things are almost 11" now and some cases the HD bays get in the way.

It also has to do with cooling. If you're going for watercooling then airflow isn't as important, but case size is. But if you're going for fan cooling then you want a case with good ariflow.

>>719024664

>7700k is an overpriced piece of shit, either get the top of the line i5 or go xeon/extreme
7700k is the most expensive CPU you should consider if you're building a gaming PC. It's not great value, but if you're already spending $2k, it's not a bad buy either.

>RAM speed flat out doesnt matter in gaming beyond DDR 1600MHz dual channel
Skylake(and by extension, kaby lake) actually does show improvement for getting faster RAM. Still not much point going beyond 3000MHz.

>if youre spending that much on SSDs, consider going NVMe, with a PCI-E card to facilitate it if your board doesnt have support for such an SSD, and definately not over SATA
NVMe SSDs literally make no noticeable difference over SATA for consumer workloads.

modding takes no time at all though, at most it only takes a few minutes from a tutorial video on youtube to learn how to mod and you're pretty much set

>>719024690
That's like saying you're a fat fuck for downloading DLC for console games like Smash Bros or some thing, just because it adds to or changes a game a bit or some shit, and if you physical modding, it doesn't take years to install some lights or move around your cables and other shit like that so your set up is neat or whatever the fuck.

>>719024719
The most difficult part is putting in the CPU + Heatsink. And for that you could find loads of tutorials on youtube on how to do it.

Everything else pretty much only goes in one area. GPU can only fit in one of the GPU slots, and it doesn't really matter which slot you use.

All the connectors are labeled so if you have a fan, just look on the MB and you'll see pin sticking out in various locations that will say "Fan 1, Fan 2, CPU Fan" etc.

>>719024843
OK you're either just baiting, or a jealous and poor console fag.

Your motherboard has the z170 chipset which means your 7700k will not be able to use its turbo boost function you need a z270 chipset instead. Also spend about 400$ less in ram of your using this for gaming. Ram the speed of your ram will make almost zero difference in game performance. You also need a different PSU I'd go full modular with at least a gold rating. I would Also get an HDD to replace one of your SSDs. Not to mention you should get a less expensive 1080 like an EVGA super locked or FTW. With the money you save on the RAM and SSDs and a cheaper 1080 you could buy a second 1080 and run them in SLI

>>719024925
tbh I was execting you'd say that. anything you're already doing on whatever pc you have now shouldn't be hard to do just as well or better on a much stronger pc, particularly since using an SSD and high-end GPU will just move shit along faster. May wanna get a bit more RAM, though, if you work while opening lots of programs like Chrome and Skype that eat your RAM while doing other shit like coding or editing or whatever. Anywhere between 16GB to 32GB or more is fine for both gaming and content creating

>>719025123
Not poor i own a decked out Mac pro I'm just not some fat piece of useless shit

Damn, excuse me.

>>719025008
There's also shit like emulators that you can make run at extremely high graphics and quality to make older games even better, plus, you don't have to spend hundreds to get a good PC gaming experience. I have like a $70 piece of shit GPU that has yet to fail me on anything for almost two years while playing AAA titles, editing videos and shit, and upscaling emulators, etc. There's also the fact that you can obviously run console games and they look fine at the price point they're at, but that doesn't mean they can't look better, and not everyone likes controllers or just prefers the highest quality shit. Who cares what the fuck other people use if everyone is still having a good time anyway

all classic games can be played on PC, and no game requires a 600 dollar graphics card. Shelling out money depends on whether or not you want the best graphics possible

The only meaningful difference between z270 and z170 is that z270 supports optane and with z170 you might have to update the BIOS to support kaby lake. It will not influence turbo boost or overclocking in any way.

>>719025572

to the best of my knowledge, doom is the only game that significantly benefits from hpyerthreading. beyond that, most games prefer a quad core, and some games perform worse on an i7, because single threaded performance.

>Skylake(and by extension, kaby lake) actually does show improvement for getting faster RAM
proof?

>NVMe SSDs literally make no noticeable difference over SATA for consumer workloads.
>having a disk in the GB/s isnt better than having one in the hundreds of MB/s
what workload exactly? because literally fucking anything that uses the disk benefits from it, and storage is currently the largest performance bottleneck in most consumer systems.

two 1080s

whatever case you think looks pretty
fan in every fan slot on case
two or three monitors (at least one for "gaming")
for peripherals get mouse and keyboard of your choice. I personally like the Razer Orbweaver thing and having an xbox and steam controller.
I also have a flight stick for if I ever want to play Star Citizen.

get speakers also.

Since you said you do some content creating, an Orbweaver or G13 would be worth taking a look at, since they're pretty great for both gaming and lots of macros while being rather comfortable, and both are RGB and have reasonable prices, if you're interested in that

>>719026023
that's another important thing to note. OP, get an anti-static strap or plug in your PSU and turn it on, then keep a hand on it while you're building shit. As long as you're careful and keep away from rugs and fabrics, you should be fine anyway

>>719025928
yup. 100% accurate. Currently more lost than I ever have been

>>719025953
32gb is massive overkill (at least for gaming) 64 gig for gaming would mean you're literally retarded. Which seems to be the case with you since you go on to state water cooling, and then "fan in every slot".

GPU has it's own fans all you need is a fan to push the hot air the GPU is releasing out of the case. A fan on the Hard drives would be good as well. You do not need a fan in every slot.

SLI is pretty pointless unless a person is going multi-monitor.

>>719026116
It's not as daunting as it seems, but when you have a shitton of btards telling you this and that while arguing over console vs pc or whatever, it can get confusing. Go on YouTube and watch LinusTechTips's build logs (I recommend the one for his budget PC or 4K builds), and if you're really confused and don't have a friend to help you pick out parts, he has a year-end video that's been up for about a month with sample builds that are budget or super expensivo shit, and you can just go with one of those and you'll be fine

>>719025812
>to the best of my knowledge, doom is the only game that significantly benefits from hpyerthreading. beyond that, most games prefer a quad core, and some games perform worse on an i7, because single threaded performance.
If you're using sandy bridge or older, there might be slight performance penalty to hyperthreading, but this is not the case with newer Intel architectures. Most new games actually do benefit from having more than 4 threads available. You might not get significantly higher average FPS, but very often you'll see higher minimums.

>what workload exactly? because literally fucking anything that uses the disk benefits from it, and storage is currently the largest performance bottleneck in most consumer systems.
Having something load into RAM in 0.1s vs 0.5s doesn't exactly make a noticeable difference.

>>719026209
I say go for 32gb bc op does a bit of video editing and that + shit like chrome and skype can be RAM-draining, but 16gb or more is fine, honestly.

>>719026209
does multi monitor mean exactly 3 or can it just be 2?

>>719026303
I actually use Discord instead of Skype now. Find it more enjoyable for some reason

>>719026116
9 screws screwing the motherboard to the case
(idk how to install intel cpu pretty sure its EZPZier than AMD)
install your cpu cooler
back of case should have removable slots (like eight of them) remove the ones that are where the graphics cards will go.
plug in the graphics cards and the ram.
put the hard drives in the cages specific to your case.
screw all the fans onto the case.
make sure to plug the wires from your case (the front IO) into the motherboard
find all the modular cables you need for a power supply. plug everything in.
boot it up
install windows -> chrome -> steam -> league of legends -> discord -> other shit

steps arent in any real order. just do stuff and expect it to take longer than expected.

>>719026343
it can be as many as you fucking want. 2 to 3 is generally your best bet, but what matters is resolution. You could have like four shitty 1024 monitors from 2005, or like 2 4K displays. I recommend an ultrawide as your main and a regular 1080 above it or to the side as a secondary. Even if you only get the ultrawide, you'll have a really nice resolution for doing lots of shit at once and gaming, and most ultrawides, at least as far as LG goes, have modes for having lots of windows open and shit, so that's good for multitasking and content creating

I think it might help if I say what I know about PC gaming and stuff in general.
RAM is a good thing cause it loads faster and that stuff.
SSD's are better than HDDs (know from experience)
And that's literally about it

>>719026392
smart man, not sure why i didnt mention it at any point since i use it literally all day lol

>>719026343
You can use 2. I only use 2. One Vertical for e-books, web browsing etc. One horizontal for gaming, movies, etc. It boils down to personal preference. I've played on triple monitor setups and as thin as they make the bezels, I can still fucking see them and it drives me up the wall. I suppose you'd eventually get used to it and no longer see the line.

>>719026209
I have 32gb because i host a minecraft srever while playing on it, I acknowledge it is overkill but so is OP's build
Arizona is hot, and AMD runs hot plus I like the way the thermaltake Riing fans look not nessecary obvy but i said it as a meme.
in the same post I did recommend multimonitor

>>719026599
you ever tried an ultrawide? especially the higher refresh rate ones, they're pretty neat

>>719026343
If you mean running a game on multiple monitors, then I believe you need to be using 3 of them. For general usage, though, having 2 monitors is great.

Drop the razer products faggot op

>>719026281
>Most new games actually do benefit from having more than 4 threads available
calling bullshit
>You might not get significantly higher average FPS, but very often you'll see higher minimums.
this i can believe though, in the games that do utilize them, and if youre running nvidia

>Having something load into RAM in 0.1s vs 0.5s doesn't exactly make a noticeable difference.
m8, it really fucking does

>>719026803
o. I guess I gotta now

>>719026599
I like having two monitors for multitasking
I really want to get a third.
for just gaming two is fine as I have the game on one and then discord and pandora on the other.
but it would be really nice for my COllege classes if I could have pandora/discord on one. then matlab/microsoft excel and the online homework on a second. and then having another monitor for wolfram alpha and misc stuff

>>719020235
Get a better CPU cooler and buy Windows 10 Pro instead of Windows 7 Ultimate. Also get a headset instead of headphones and you are good.

>>719026939
that's the original list I started out with, a looot of things changed in the past hour and a half

>>719026729
you don't need to, but you do if you like not getting aids from having a bezel down the middle of your screen, especially in shooters

>>719026939
windows 10 is a good call.
I use a pair of Vmodas as headphones and some logitech webcam as my mic the webcam only echos hard when my volume is kicked up and im not using my headset or when im using teamspeak.

>>719026890
smh, did you not trust my earlier statement? I'm tryna help you here, man :(

>>719021738
Yes it does.
Windows 10 has by far the best performance on games. It's 2017 motherfuckers! Have fun lagging arround with your outdated OS.
Win 7 is still ok for companies but definitely not for gaming.

>>719026934
I feel you, I have two, but there are times you just need the third and it's definitely worth looking into, makes life so much easier

>>719027123
All the integrated spyware in Windows 10 negates the performance benefit from upgraded kernel unless you're playing Dx12 games.

>>719027079
I only partially get the Razer hate meme
like their keyboards and Orbweaver are really quality products.
as long as youi dont do your whole build fucking black and razer green or keep it to just keyboard mouse (and orbweaver) the hate seems unjust.
but like their RGB mousepads and whatever are memes.

>>719027026
If I were you, I would stick to the headphones, but if you do plan to use a mic, you can either buy a decent mic or just get a logitech headset. If you wanna go for the standard, the G230 is what almost everyone has(the blue surround version isn't worth it imo). If you wanna really go all-in for good sound and comfort and gaming quality and shit, just grab an Artemis Spectrum from Logitech, wired or wireless, not that much of a difference in price point, and you're set. Also lets you further buy into the RGB craze, if you like that stuff, and you can sync RGB devices, too

>>719027192
Implying that they didn't put all that new spyware on windows 7. It's not like it's some ancient programming they don't know how to work.

>>719027192
What about Spybot Anti-Beacon? Is it any good?

>>719027148
I was looking into it earlier today. might as well ask all you fags since you are here.
my two current monitors are Benq GL2760s. if i wanted to get a vertical/portrait monitor how can i find one that has the same width as the height of these monitors (pixel wise and inches wise)?
I dont have enough desk space for another 27 inch monitor.

>>719027278
They don't put it on.

You can actually monitor your web traffic. And despite having all the spy features disabled on my Win 10. My computer is STILL sending information to them all the damn time. Open Start menu and chose a program... information is sent to MS servers.

You don't get that shit on Win 7.

>>719027254
I'm gonna be honest here, I did used to buy into the Razer hate when I was newer to pc shit bc it seemed just like Apple's idea of overpriced shit just because they can. Now that I know more, I get that they do have good products, but I'm not gonna pretend every mouse and keyboard and shitty headset they make is good. The Blackshark and DeathAdder are good, albeit a bit pricy, and the newer BlackWidow models with actually good switches and lower price aren't so bad, plus they have a good line of laptops, but I wouldn't say they do everything right and are always consumer-friendly like Logitech or Corsair often manage to do. If you're new to shit like this, you could end up losing money because you think their edgy Kraken Pro is the top of the line or some bullshit

>>719027408
Did you try Spybot anti beacon?

>>719027427
thats true I guess my only experience with them is the orbweaver I own and a black widow I tried in a best buy.

>>719027394
If you don't have desk space because you're using regular stands, I would suggest splurging for a good multi-monitor stand and set them up how you like while saving desk space and still fitting them all in the same area, or even just getting a newer desk, if you can. If not, look into something a few inches smaller of equal quality. Since it'll be portrait, you won't "lose" much, and if you get one that's just smaller enough, it'll line up closely with the other two while in portrait and still look rather good. I'd say look around on Amazon at LG or BenQ's shit and find the best for your situation.

>>719027488
No, this seems to be shit that you just cannot disable or block. Other than of course not being connected to the internet.

kinda tempted to ask for your own builds to see what happens...

>>719027644
Did you sniff the traffic with spybot on to find out yourself or are you just repeating some shit you have heard?

>>719027538
Orbweaver is good, although I own a G13 because I prefer it on some points. The BlackWidow is definitely a keyboard worth having now that they have actual Cherry MX switches and the aesthetic and build quality to BlackWidows isn't actually all that bad imo. If you are looking to upgrade though, I'd recommend a Romer-G keyboard or Brown/'Black switches on almost any sturdy keyboard with a decent price point like a G610 or G710, a K65 or K70, or CoolerMaster stuff

>>719027657
I've never had that problem, and I pirate loads of shit. It's never deleted any of it.

>>719027608
You'll probably get a troll build or two like above and a few similar ones that probably focus on one thing or another. I'd recommend just looking into what works for what you do and plan to do and asking about how to get into that stuff. Not everyone's here to assault you with their opinions on irrelevant shit :^)

>>719020235
Oh OP dont know if you are even sitll here but I would stay away form thermaltake. had problems with their power supplies and two mice, their customer service is pretty 4/10 I jsut gave up and bought a Corsair powersupply and Corsair Mouse.

>>719027714
Honestly, it may seem a bit out there, but if you just plan to use it for a few things like music and chatting, I would get a decent, older monitor if I were you. Since you're limited on space and probably not super well-off on financials, an older lower-resolution monitor isn't that bad of an idea. What matters is having the extra screen, not having a super high-end extra screen. A good 720p or 1280x1024 would more than do the job and you could probably find one nearby, on craigslist, or even wherever you were, depending on the type of office or whatever, if it's possible.

Here's an example that's probably right up your alley and you can get from a reliable place like Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Acer-G206HQL-19-5-Inch-Computer-Widescreen/dp/B00DZT96C6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484482026&sr=8-1&keywords=720p+monitor

this along with an extra 4GB to 8GB of RAM is more than enough for you, OP, especially if you're new to this. You can just upgrade the GPU sometime in the future if you'd like some really high-end shit eventually and you're covered from here to then. Just slap on the monitor(s) and kbm you want and you're set.

Google power to price ratio. Learn it, love out, live it.

Don't pay another grand for 5 more fps. Anything over a grand is generally a waste unless it's a niche build for a specific purpose.

You can get a middle upper gaining rig for 500.

Also anything razer made in the last 5 years is trash. Like alienware since the Dell buyout.

>gotta check that PSU then. Any recommenadations??
For a build like that, something in the 400W or 500W range is perfectly sufficient, 700W is overkill as well as being waste of money and electricity.

Anything manufactured by seasonic or superflower that's rated 80+ bronze or better is good regardless of the branding. Consequently, anything that does NOT have 80+ bronze rating(or better) should be a cause for concern. If you're unsure, look up reviews for the model. http://www.jonnyguru.com/ is the general go-to site for good reviews.

If it's a prebuilt and doesn't list the specific brand and model of the PSU used, that's practically a guarantee that the PSU is timebomb-tier.

>>719021129
There's so much wrong with the build. If you're building a gaming machine, you'll have to ditch windows 7 and go with windows 10. Or do dual boot. The ram should be 4x8GB for 32GB instead of 4x4GB and the mobo FSB doesn't go as high as the ram you picked so it's just wasting money there. I'd get a better power supply and a better cooler, not necessarily water cooled though.

wtf "TP-Link TG-3468 PCI-Express x1 10/100/1000 Mbps Network Adapter"??
Dude the mainboard has already LAN.
A wifi adapter would make more sense

>>719021290
So much ram? It's only 16GB but I would do 2x8GB to get it instead of 4 sticks. I would go ahead and do 32GB while I'm building. Ram is cheap and itll be helpful in a few years as everything gets harder to run over time.
