My budget just increased to 1500 pounds so I wanted to know if it's worth adding anything to my build or improving any of the parts. Thanks in advance. My build: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/LN9xXH

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/FlamingSparrowhawk/saved/WKpqsY I just wanted to ask if I need more cooling and whether liquid cooling is worth it. Also can someone suggest a power supply because it seems like the one on the part list is out of stock. Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much for all of your help

I think it's more likely that I'll end up going with the Ryzen then. Thanks for all the help

Thanks for all the replies. I'm going to think about which build I want, either with the Ryzen 5 1600 or the i7 7700k but I'll have to go and look at some 27" screens irl to be able to judge whether the screen is too big for me.

I added the monitor to the part list if that changes anything: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/FlamingSparrowhawk/saved/qD87P6

I think I would prefer the part list Lucky_SLS suggested because it's only like £80 more than what I had in mind but I can afford it and don't really mind about spending a bit more for slightly more power.

Thanks

I just wanted to ask about the build I created and if it could be better (I want to keep the price around the same so it doesn't have to be lower or higher). The build: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/6Ystf8 Somebody told me that this graphics card is better: EVGA - GeForce GTX 1070 8GB SC...

I read that most games can't use more than four cores and the ryzen 5 1600 has six cores. Most benchmarks and tests say that it performs worse than the i7 7700k so is there a reason that the ryzen would still be better?

I created a build on pc partpicker- https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/6Ystf8 Just wanted to ask if everything on there is ok but mostly I was wondering about the motherboard and if there are any limiting factors of the build (Mostly I want to be able to run the witcher 3 without lag on good setting)
