A PC to support a 240hz monitor on high settings

[janis.riekstins]

Hi there,

I am looking to put together my first PC that would support a 240hz monitor but I am really lost and would highly appreciate your help with this one.

I am looking at:

CPU - I7 7700K (I want 4.2ghz base frequency to run 240hz monitor - will i7-8700K 3.6ghz run 240hz monitor as good? I read that it has to be at least 4.0ghz clock speed)

GPU - Zotac GeForce GTX 1070 Ti AMP! Edition (is it compatible with my MOBO? and do I need an additional liquid cooler with this card if I do not intend to overclock the CPU at least for the next couple of years)

MOBO - MSI z270 gaming M5 (i don`t get the DDR4 MEMORY, is it compatible with CPU and GPU of my choice?

SSD - Western Digital black NVME SSD 2018 1tb

RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 16gb 3200mhz DDR4 CL16 kit of 2

PSU - 600W Gold Plus but what manufacturer and size(to fit the tower of my choice)?

Tower - Cooler Master Masterbox 5 mid tower

I am not a go hard gamer trying to test all the new games. I like my CS:GO and some other games I play in my spare time. But I really want a solid PC that will last for a couple of years on HIGH settings without overclocking, overheating.

Would you mind giving your opinion on what I have put together, what would you change within a price range of these components if anything at all!?

Many thanks in advance!!

Achieving 240fps in cs go is not a difficult task. What other games do you play?

Have you looked at a 240hz monitor? Know how much it costs?

BTW, where do you live and how much is your budget? The budget includes the pc along with peripherals like monitor, keyboard, headset?

I play CSGO, Call of Duty, Heroes of Might and Magic and would like to try some new ones with my new rig.

I have decided on Benq Zowie xl2546 24.5 inch.

I live in Latvia, Northern Europe, My budget is 1.5-2k EUR just for components but would love to spend less still being able to run 240hz monitor on high settings.

Thank you.

The mobo has auto overclock options. You just have to enable few settings in bios for auto oc.

Cs go and heros of might and magic would be easy 200±fps. You can expect 150+ fps in call to duty depending on the graphics settings.

Look for benchmarks in YouTube with Vega 56 and 9600k...
