Hi. So this is my 1st time trying to build a pc, and I don't know much yet about the topic. But I want to take this chance and buy some of the parts on Black Friday, so I need help before I do order the parts. Will the build work? Any comments or advice?
I want this PC for gaming + general use + editing videos and art making.
The only 3 things I'm sure about are :
- CPU: Intel - Core i7-8700K 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor
- Graphics card: Asus - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6 GB Dual Video Card
OR ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 8GB ROG Strix Graphics Card (1835MHz) - if there were good deals on black friday only.
HDD - Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ( OR the black version)
I think of buying an SSD later on.
I used some useful websites to help me choose the other components.
this is the build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8QfHsZ
Approximate Purchase Date: this black friday (some parts) and then next month the rest of them.
Budget Range: 1350$ (only for the PC, without the monitor and etc)
Are you buying a monitor: Yes (but not now, I'll be using my tv till I do)
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Location: Oman, but I'm ordering the parts from Amazon.
Overclocking: Yes mostly
SLI or Crossfire: don't know what's that - yet.
Your Monitor Resolution: haven't decided yet.
Additional Comments: I want it future proof as much as possible. I'm not really that interested in upgrading from time to time. Not before a couple of years.
Why Are You Upgrading: I have an old laptop that I can't play any games with decently.
