Hello so i want to build my own pc but im not really familiar with pc's.

So i want to build this:
CPU:I7-7700K
GPU:GTX 1070TI
RAM:16GB (2x8GB) 2133 MHZ
MOTHERBOARD: MSI H110M PRO-VD
HDD:Western Digital Blue 1Tb 7200rpm 64 MB

I got this from someone's destriciption and all i changed is:

I7-6400K---> I7-7700K
and
GTX 1070DUAL 8GB----->GTX 1070TI

So help me, are the other parts strong enough to run the GPU and CPU.

Does the parts fit in the case im gonna buy, what case does i have to buy

Do i miss parts (case not included)?

Please tell me

Honestly, if you can afford ANY 1070 Ti with the crazy GPU prices right now, you can probably afford a more current CPU when the prices stabilize. Consider maybe a 8600k or 8700k.

Also, it's a waste of money to buy a k series CPU if you're going to get an H series MB, which cannot overclock. There are many Z370 MBs though that are now just as affordable as Z270 ones.

I would also go higher speed RAM if you can afford it. I've seen Newegg email promo deals on 2x8GB 3200 RAM kits for $182 (G. Skill), but you need to sign up for them. The reason you need to go higher speed is DDR4 has roughly twice the latency of DDR3 on it's timings (16 CAS vs 9).

This means it takes DDR4 twice as many CPU cycles as DDR3 for the RAM to communicate...

This means it takes DDR4 twice as many CPU cycles as DDR3 for the RAM to communicate with the CPU. Since the sweet spot for DDR3 RAM was 1600, that means it's more like 3200 for DDR4. Anything higher than that is much less performance benefit.

Lastly, if you want to do it right, get an aftermarket cooler for the CPU. There are pretty good ones in the $20 - $35 range, like the Cryorig M9i and H7.

TBH right now isn't a great time to build a gaming pc. GPU prices are all messed up.
