I suppose an important question is whether or not I can fit all that in that case. As I said I already have the case and I think it's a good one, so if space is a problem, I would drop one of the fans/components first. I thought this was one of the more helpful videos showing the inside of the...

Ok, well, I scaled back on several items and something amazing happened: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel - Core i7-8700K 3.7GHz 6-Core Processor ($0.00) CPU Cooler: Corsair - H100i v2 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($104.99 @ Newegg) Motherboard: Gigabyte - Z370...

I will do my best to answer your questions/concerns ■ 2.0 didn't work for... reasons. Finances did play a small part, but I was primarily just too busy to deal with it. ■ I already have the case and I like its understated appearance. My current machine is in an arc mini and it looks just fine...

Ok so for various reasons my build from v2.0 never actually happened - that's life. Anyway I'm back a year later with the same desire to build a high performance, future-proof gaming machine. Here's what I have so far: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel - Core...

Ok. I am retracting my previous assertion about definitely getting the 1800X. I see that it isn't worth that much more. I also checked the speed/voltage of a slightly faster Corsair RAM and it matches others that were on the mobo QVL (though for smaller modules) So, here's what I think is the...

Okay, so here we go one more (hopefully last) time: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: AMD - Ryzen 7 1800X 3.6GHz 8-Core Processor ($419.99 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: Corsair - H100i v2 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($109.99 @ Amazon) Motherboard: ASRock - Fatal1ty X370...

Okay, so it's been a month since I posted this thread, and even though in that thread I said I would begin ordering the parts within a few days, life interrupted and that just didn't happen. I'm coming back to the table now with the hope that I can actually get this going again before I am...

Any more suggestions concerning the mobo, display, or liquid cooling?

I'm hoping for some useful feedback here. I want to make sure I'm making the right choices given how expensive it'll be. I will try to update this thread when I finally have all the parts together.
