Building My First PC (Gaming)

[Zion_X]

Hi, i am looking to build my first PC this summer. I plan on getting,
CPU: i7 6700k
CPU Cooler: Cryorig C7 Heatsink (maybe other fans to put around the case)
MOTHERBOARD: MSI Z170a Krait Edition SLI Ready
GPU: GTX 1070(more than likely get another for SLI in the future)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2x8GB sticks) DDR4 White Version
HardDrive: 1TB 7200rpm
SSD: Do I need one?
Optical Drive: 24x DVD-RW
Was wondering if this is a good build, and if eventually when I can afford a 4k monitor if I would be able to game at 4k.
I am uncertain on what PSU to get and also the case. I am looking for a white case but I am worried that double GTX 1070s won't fit in the cases I've been looking at. Can someone please recommend a PSU and a white case. Also any tips for a beginner at PC building. Although I have been watching PC building on youtube.

Do you need a ssd?
... no....
But,
I will never again build without a ssd for the "C" drive. It makes everything you do much quicker.
120gb is minimum, it will hold the os and a handful of games. If you can go 240gb, or 500gb you may never need a hard drive.

I would defer on the hard drive unless you need to store large files such as video's.
It is easy to add a hard drive later.
Samsung EVO is a good choice.

Dual gpu have some issues such as stuttering, screen tearing, and even non support in some games.
If a single good card can do the job, that is the better way to go.

Gaming at 4k is reasonable with a GTX980ti if you are not playing fast action shooters,
My suggestion would be to try and buy a GTX1080 up front .
If you can't then buy your GTX1070 but plan on selling it and replacing it with a stronger car when you need it.

As to power needed, the new pascal cards are really good there.
Here is a chart:

Buy only a quality unit like Seasonic.

If a motherboard will fit in a case, then you can expect no issue from all the cards you can install on that motherboard.

What case are you looking at?

Carbide 540 comes in white:

tip...
Buy yourself a #2 magnetic tip Philips head screwdriver for assembly.

If you plan to do sli you should get a decent 750W unit:

For the case, you need to check the video card length, most case makers put the maxium vga card length on their specs page: like this (check for full specs):

As for tips, keep touching thecase to ground yourself to avoid damaging your components, make double sure that every connector it's on it's place, read your motherboard's manual, etc, toms recently made an article about how to build a pc you can read it here:
