Is this a good build for 1080p/1440p gaming ?

I think a GTX 1070 or a RX Vega 56 (if you can wait for lower prices) us better

>>62272572
Oh ok thanks; I'll keep an eye on them, what do you think of the rest ?

>>62272594
If you don't want a ryzen cpu the rest is good

>>62272662
Ok, thanks !

fuck you faggot OP.

Sorry, I know you surely get flooded with this shit but I posted before understanding where I actually had to ! my mistake

>>62272682
Take your pills and be quiet

The NZXT shit is complete overkill and waste of money for gaming. Get rid of that shit and put the money towards a 1070 or 1080.

Yeah I'll get a 1070, since it seems it's necessary for 1440p; the thing with the NZXT is that I want to play with RGB lights and stuff (Yeah Im autistic I know), are there cheaper alternatives to this ?

Thanks to everyone for all the help !

This is far too expensive for what it is:


>i7 7700k
Alright I suppose, might wanna wait for cannonlake since a hexacore for nearly the same cost with the same single threaded performance should be a significant improvement outside of gaming
>$150 liquid cooler
just get any $70-80 cooler if youre insistent on overclocking, go look up benchmarks, the x52 looses to cheaper coolers.
If not overclocking a hyper 212 would be fine
>Mobo
Looks fine
>16gb of DDR4-3000 memory for $160
Loog into g skills memory, should offer higher spec for cheaper
>Samsung 850 Sata SSD
BIG MISTAKE. YOU WANT AN NVME SSD. This will be the biggest determinant in the "speed" and feel of your computer outside gaming. Do not fuck this up. Samsung 960 evo should be your pick.
>Seagate Barracuda 2TB Drive
Look into HGST, people on /g/ love them, great bang/buck, more reliable than barracudas, and generally a lil more performance
>$350 for a GTX 1060
You should be able to do better, my roomie just got a 6gb 1060 for $260.

Do not fall for the nonsensical ads on the various different cards, all will perform within 5-10% of each other, and can be manually overclocked to match the spec of another card. There may be cooling/binning, but its nothing to write home about.

>case
This is fine, right now frys electronics around the US have great sales going, would be worth checking out. You can probably find a $40-50 case of higher quality, but if that serves your needs its no biggie

>Power supply
$80 is reasonable, just do a cost analysis on the savings of 80+ gold (should be less than 7 dollars a year) and if fully modular really matters to you (you'll have half those cables plugged in 100% of the time anyway)

A 550watt would definitely suffice as well if you want to save money there

>LED controller
Youre an adult!


All in all, for $1657 cost you could get something with 24gb of RAM, a 1070, NVME storage, and more HDD space,just gotta be willing to cut costs a little in other places.

The problem with Samsung 960 is this: The motherboard M.2 slot #2 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA 6.0 Gb/s port is disabled.

What do ? Sorry Im really new to this
