A couple of things you could do:

Change the CPU to a 6700K, but performance in games will not change too much, you could also upgrade to a GTX 1080 over the GTX 1070, which would allow max, or close to max graphics at 1440p, but the 1070 would allow high graphics on 1440p, and maximum on 1080p.

You could add another GTX 1070 for SLI, but it isn't worth it for gaming, as the compatibility is getting wiped out for SLI.

You could always upgrade to a 500GB or 1TB SSD to put your favourite games on if you wish.

First off thanks for the reply I am probably going to buy the specs you listed I forgot to add that I want the PC to last for at least 3 years on at least medium graphics so should I buy a 1080 and maybe a i7 to make it more future proof?

If you're willing to spend the money, then there's no reason why you shouldn't, if you get the 1080, I will recommed getting at least 1440p resolution to game on, as for 1080 is it overkill.

The 6600K will most likely last a good few years, but there's no harm in getting the 6700K, as it will most likely bring more benefits in the future, with the hyperthreading, it may assist in some games, such as BF1, which has or had terrible CPU optimisation.

Didn't think of that :p (As in colour scheme)

This should be up to your needs of black/red, does come out with the 6700K/GTX 1080, so you can easily build this and it will fit your colour scheme needs.

Personally a big fan of ASRock's Gaming K6+ design in combination with the S340 Elite.

Might use that as an excuse to upgrade :p

I bought some cheap case off of Ebay and the headphone jack is dying on the front, after 5 months :lol:

I have to resist upgrading though. That is a very nice pair though - OP, change to them if you like the look of those.

If you switch a few parts of my build with xFearDom's it won't be that expensive. For example, the motherboard xFear has chosen costs nearly 50 dollars more. Could ofcourse just keep the regular S340 but do go for the Cryorig H5 if you can.

Besides that I also chose a 500GB HDD instead of 250 GB etc.

Here, this is 2200 dollars:

The S340 Elite will be 40 dollars more if you can afford it.




Ah ok :p
