Hello!!
For more than a decade I've been purchasing and using pre-built PCs from HP and Dell and have finally decided to ditch that habit and build my own PC. The past few days I've done quite a bit of research and picked parts, though I'm still a bit worried on whether or not all of my parts/casing are compatible with one another (despite pcpartpicker saying it is). I want everything to go flawlessly and smoothly as possible when all the parts all put together, and I really don't want to deal with errors, blue screens, or dead parts in 1 year from now. Minimal replacements and maintenance would also be something I'd love!

My budget is currently under $2,000 USD (excluding shipping + fees) and I've tried to pick parts for a PC that can excel in tasks like gaming (MMOs, BRs), graphic design work (Adobe CC, Blender), and just general multitasking between the two and other simple tasks like browsing or watching videos. Additionally, I wanted to build a PC that's "aesthetically" pleasing, hence the LED/RGBs and reds.


Below is the parts I currently have in mind:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DJTY7W

CPU: Intel - Core i7-8700K 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master - Hyper 212 LED 66.3 CFM Rifle Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus - ROG MAXIMUS X CODE ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LED 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LED 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory
Storage: Samsung - 860 Evo 1 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Video Card: MSI - GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8 GB Video Card
Case: Cooler Master - MasterCase MC500P ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair - HX Platinum 750 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Optical Drive: Asus - DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer
Operating System: Microsoft - Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit


I should also note that I would like to stick to an Intel-based build as opposed to any other for right now.

Thanks so much!!

Do you want to physically build your PC or only choose parts and let the vendor do it from parts you have chosen? Long ago I was physically building my PC's (last time probably 486DX). Since then I'm only choosing components and let the vendor make the PC, test it and install OS. This all may be tricky and you probably don't have experience and tools to find potential incompatibility, choosing the right sequence for installing Windows, hardware drivers a.s.o. At the end you get (of course at some additional cost) the computer with guarantee (not only guaranties for components).
Now about your components list. it's subjective and a kind of old habit, but I have always built my PC's on ASUS platform, choosing all possible ASUS...

Pick DDR4-3200MHz ram kits.
I would ditch the Hyper 212 and pick up the Cryorig H7.
You don't need an ODD in this day and age.
Would you be open to the idea of building on a smaller form factor?

Might I ask where you're located and what your preferred site for purchase would be?

Hi! Thanks a bunch for the response! :)

I'll look into that regarding the fan and the ODD, and I would actually prefer sticking to the ATX form factor for now.
I'm also currently located in the U.S. (California), and looking into purchasing most, if not, all my parts from NewEgg and/or Amazon, as I've never heard much about B&H photo and the rest listed on pcpartpicker.

Very powerfull PC build with a perfect balance for your use case in gaming and the Adobe suite which Intel favours...I would agree on the RAM, especially as they have dropped in price, so if you can bump to 3200Mhz, go for it.

Also as you have a fairly powerful build, a 2070 or even the 1070ti would add some more to the build, though the 1070 will handle the games...

The system below is roughly the same with a motherboard in the Z390 Gigabyte Ultra and a 12 phase VRM!, CPU cooler and with a RTX 2070 at $1891.76

Still leaves you money to get a better,,,meant NVMe SSD and other bits including sticking with the ASUS motherboard though go Z390 for longevity as in a few years you can drop a 9900K if it ever drops in price.

Now about your components list. it's subjective and a kind of old habit, but I have always built my PC's on ASUS platform, choosing all possible ASUS components. For RAM, case and power supply, and case I always used Corsair.
I'm wondering why you didn't choose a second disk for data and an external media for backups. You don't need 1 TB for the system. With a single SSD and no backup media you are putting your data on risk (no UPS in your configuration). I would rather take a 500 GB SSD for system and a 1 TB hybrid disk like Seagate Fire Cuda for data plus some 6 TB Seagate USB 3.0 external drive for backups. Or you skip the hybrid drive and choose 500 GB SSD plus 6 TB USB drive for daily backups. Samsung SSDs have an option called RAPID mode, which takes a part of your RAM (you have enough for this) and lets your SSD have a 1 GB intelligent cache in your system RAM. The additional driver (it's similar to RAMdisk but you don't need the special knowledge and manual experiments with lots of settings) makes the software (Samsung Magician) learn your habits and put into the RAM cache files you are using most frequently. A daily system backup is a must-be. Depending on the budget, I would rather choose M.2 or mSATA (according to your mobo) Samsung 970 500 GB for the system disk. Not a big difference in cost but you get PCIE speed for disk transfer instead of SATA III. The difference is terrific. For video card I would choose ASUS instead of MIS (same processor and memory). The price must be quite the same and you have ASUS video card on ASUS mobo.
IMO you need optical drive because it's the most reliable and cheap media for booting the computer from recovery media if computer cannot boot from system disk.
Good luck

I would just add that a USB stick is far easier as a boot device than the older Optical drives and installing Windows from a USB is so much easier and faster with a bootable USB drive...I don't thing I have used an optical drive in years...An NVMe M.2 drive is faster and works great though they tend to cost a bit more...

OK with USB boot device, but optical disk is almost no cost, so why not to have both?
NVMe. Let's compare 1 TB SATA (as in the planned configuration) with 500 GB NVMe (which is more than enough for the system) and NVMe is by 25% cheaper, offering by far better transfer speed. I would choose smaller NVMe (if the budget does not allow for 1 TB NVMe). This 25% will almost compensate the cost of additional 1 TB hybrid drive for data or USB drive for backups. You can seldom have both - better quality or performance and lower price 😉

I actually intend on building the PC on my own physically since after researching and video watching, it seems pretty straight forward (given that all the parts fit together, nothing's faulty, etc.). Though, now that you mention that some vendors can build PCs with parts you provide them with and/or pick from, do you have any recommendations, preferably online? (I'm currently from the US/California).

And you definitely bring up a good point regarding SSDs/Harddrives, I shall look into this. Thanks so much!

Unfortunately I'm living in Poland. But if you look in Google for "custom pc-builder" or something like this, you find a lot. This here is only an example, how it works and it's not just in USA https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/build-your-own-pc/. Such companies have experience in building computers, testing tools a.s.o. They will test your configuration before they built it. They will test it after it's built. They tell you about cheaper or better choices. And they take responsibility for the built PC. This has worked for me since 10 years. If you try this yourself, all the risk is your's. Nobody helps you, if you fall into some problem and can even hardly describe it. The pc-builder, where I'm "building" my custom configurations offers every possible part and component. I guess it works like this in USA too. You don't pay for the building and testing, only for parts (this is my experience in Poland). But you cannot purchase parts here and there and then pack them in a bag and go to such a pc-builder. They offer building for free only if you purchase all parts from them. Maybe you get answers from people who have done the same before in the USA? Or look here with another post like "Where to build custom PC in USA" or something like that. The support you get is worth your peace of mind. You choose some DRAM model, but they recommend you another, which is faster, more reliable and the price only 2 dollars higher. You will never find such support on any forum. You choose a Samsung disk, but they recommend you another one, telling, Samsung was the best last year, but this year WD products are better. And so on. The last word is your's or they say your configuration is not compatible and they would not built it. If you have doubt, if the recommendation is reliable, then you ask here and someone would know, if this is OK or simply they have better prices at WD, so they recommend WD. And so on. Not so easy these days to build physically own PC 😉 I have recommended you an NVMe Samsung drive but I have never used Windows PC. Not sure if Samsung Magician does not have some problems with Win10 (I have Win7) Maybe you pay some dollars more, but you avoid problems. If you don't find parts for your favorite configuration or prices are a bit too high, you can always go to other builders and compare or use some comparing engines. Like this https://www.custompcreview.com/articles/best-custom-pc-builders/ - there are many rankings like this. Where it is, does not matter. You buy online and get the ready PC via DHL or Fedex, so it can be Dallas or Toronto or just California. As a first step, choose a builder, sent them your configuration and ask if they would build it, if they have all yourt chosen parts, how much is the cost, if they would recommend some changes, always asking for reasons of such recommendations, Good luck :)
But ... if you are really eager to build your PC yourself. Try to pass your set of parts via some configuration tools at pc-builders. If it passes here and there, you can try. The risk of course built-in. But if it goes well - what a big satisfaction :)

I didn't know, what Partpicker is. It's not a custom PC builder. But after you have chosen your parts. you may send your configuration by e-mail to a custom PC-builder (or more than one to have comparison) and look for best prices. Partpicker sends you for every part to another sellen, which does not help. You can get initial compatibility test here, but buy all parts from one vendor. The best if it's just a pc builder :)

Hi again,
I don't really understand your choice criteria. But whatever they are, you may want to take these points:
1. Automatic compatibility tests are quite simple. They only tell you, if you don't choose processor not fitting the socket on your mobo. Or that you don't choose 4 RAM modules while your mobo has only 2 memory slots. Real compatibility means your chosen RAM modules will not only work but are optimal for the whole set. It's only an example. The thing is a lot complicated. I would rely on some some know-how and experience in building systems. What is yours? Or mine? Or someone else's? We all have maybe built 2-3 computers so far. This is a zero experience. And I can hardly understand why you chose 4x8 GB RAM (meaning your mobo has 4 slots) and not 2x16GB? With 2x16 - with identical specs - you would save 10 USD and 2 free slots for eventual upgrade in a year, when prices fall again.
Another point - I don't know if you care about noise. If you do, choose video card with same specs but with hybrid cooling. Like my a bit older ASUS card with GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. It has both passive cooling (Cu-radiators filled with something) and fans. But in two years I have never heard fans working, they are activated after the temperature starts to be higher than some healthy limit defined by the manufacturer (but you probably can change it). Before it happens, your card is totally silent.
Best

1. You'll need a better cooler for the i7 8700k.
2. Because you'll need a better cooler, you'll need low profile memory. Don't use two separate kits. If you must use 4 modules, get a four module kit.
3. 32gb will basically not be used for many years if single tasking a game. It is better to allocate funds to the graphics card instead.
<Edit> However I understand you are going to be focusing on content creation and multitasking, so I changed the system memory to a 32gb kit.
4. I set you up with a M.2 instead of a 2.5 drive for a little extra cost.
5. For this build a platinum Certified power supply is not justified for the cost and can be better allocated to other areas of the build.

I'm not a gamer, but I think, even gamers use the PC also for other things. From my experience RAM is always a good investment (if you are on a 64bit system). It can be used for RAOID mode (available for most Samsung drives) or for RAMdisks, if you know, how to setup this feature. No idea, if it gives much for gaming, but there are in every PC lots of system tools running in the background, everyone uses browsers (temporary files), real-time malware scanning a.s.o. These tools can make computer slow before you do something useful for you 😉 I would vote for 2x16 GB :)

Asthetically pleasing you say? Reallocating your funds to an AMD based system running 1440p or higher won't yields any performance difference with Intel (Especially ultrawide):

But that's his precondition - to stick on Intel-pl. And not only gaming in mind (graphic design work, general multitasking). And with aesthetically pleasing he obviously meant, how the computer will look like (which you can tell for him, it's individual), including LED's, RGB's a.... Not how the game will look like on the screen. It will look good on any platform. Of course is Intel a bit more expensive, maybe for a reason? No idea, I have never used AMD platform.
If he seeks for savings, there are many points to look at. Maybe not that high-shelf motherboard? Maybe less RAM (starting with 2x8 and testing, if it's enough), I didn't get an impression, his first shot configuration to be too expensive. Rather looking for optimal performance for that price.. And trying to be on the safe side, if building the PC physically himself . I would guess, Intel platform to be safer.
If watching for savings, I would take another mobo, say ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-E GAMING, with substantially the same features but WiFi and Bluetooth included. Still available in Poland, maybe no more in USA?

Yeah, I wasn't too sure about my cooler and probably didnt did much looking around as I did with the other parts that I had picked out, haha; but I'll definitely be looking into that! (as well as the other stuff)

Also regarding your other comment, wujanowski is correct in that I do prefer an Intel build as for right now, since I've always been more familiar with Intel ever since I got my first PC. And I'm well aware with the potential AMD has with what I've heard lately with their Ryzen / Threadripper processors. And yes, a well-rounded PC with RGB capabilities (thanks Bitwit...) is what I'm currently looking for as it would help spice up the empty room I just moved into.


I also do appreciate everyone else commenting and suggesting things! Thanks so much y'all!

I have seen the option of sending own configuration for consulting on pages of some PC-builders.
I guess, they would give you some advice even before you decide to let them work or you decide to do it yourself. Still some exciting job and if you can find enough time and has some patience - when I was younger, I had never doubt to build PC's on my own, even if by then no real support was available in Poland. I needed to rely on friends, being more experienced computer freaksd:) Nice feeling, when the computer you have built yourself starts as expected or in case of problems you are able to find solutions :)

If that's the case, i'd like to suggest going with an AIO so that the ram isn't visually blocked. This way you'll be able to show off RGB ram as well as the AIO itself:

Complete ASUS ROG build. All very high quality components.
You can run Windows10 without activating with no major limitations(no effect on performance at all). All programs will run without any problem. Few windows utility services will be locked which are of no major use. And will have watermark overlay on screen.
Add OS later.
Rest of the build is perfect and of very high quality and performance.

For whatever reason, AIOs had never occurred to me when I was picking out a fan, haha, but I'm definitely going to go for one now cause I did hear some cases where CPU fans can visually block the RAMs or sometimes block the slots completely, so I can see why AIOs could be ideal.



I have not actually, but I'll definitely check it out!
Though I did a bit of research beforehand and have watched a bit of videos including NewEgg's 2-part "How to Build a PC" video.

I think, we are starting to overwhelm our friend, bringing in our own choices, telling more about, what PC's we would build for ourselves. I think, the best is, he builds the computer according to his own plan. Maybe only trying mot make it expandable. An ideal, optimal setup does not exist. There are many potential upgrades for the lifetime of the PC. Prices are falling. Sometimes after 1:2 years you can rejuvenate your computer adding something, you don't take into considerations right now, because it would be to expensive or risky. I have done this many times. Only never changed the mobo, processor and case. Everything else can be upgraded.
My golden rule when "building" my new computer is to never use the highest and most expensive solutions. Their prices will fall a lot and after used my PC for a year, I would perfectly know, where is the bottleneck :) In other case you will be never happy with your PC, only watching for what you could have been chosen. There are some nice Murphy Laws at that. "The other queue is always faster", If something can go wrong, it goes for sure", "Computer are the best tool to solve problems, which would never existed if there was no computers. Try to be more philosophic. You want to have fun with your new PC. Not to build the computer for ever. Not to have the best performing computer on the world or even in your city. Nobody will use the PC daily, only you. If you go to analyze every possible configuration, you never build a computer. You find yourself in a frustrating devil's circle. Your first decision may be just the best - right now, for you :)

I have not criticized any other post. And not suggested any own. I don't think, it was the idea of the poster, to get lots of alternate part sets. But maybe he did. It's in any case up to him, to choose and decide, which hints suit him better. We are only trying to help, everyone his own way. Maybe your suggested list is the best ever. But it's not you, who will will build this computer. Maybe you didn't notice, but with my last post I have just stopped to give hints. And I don't see much of sense in telling other posters (we all want only help the OP), what they should or they should not. If you have some ideas more, please give hints the OP, not me. Thank you :)
