Future build planning phase 1

[Millet65]

Hey all,

I would like some parts advice for build I would like to do in the near future. I would like it to be small if possible and utilize the GTX 1070. I would like to be able to game comfortably for the next 4-5 years with this system if at all possible. I have never owned an overclocked system before and have never dabbled into it. I like all genres of games especially ones such as battlefield and EVE Online. I know it will be difficult but I would like to do this system on a budget. I plan to build the system first then get the GPU at a later date. Thanks in advance and if you need any more info I'll be watching to respond. Thnx!

What is your budget? What country are you in? Do you need OS, monitor, OS, keyboard & mouse? If you have a monitor, what one do you have?

I live in Louisiana. I will need an OS but I've seen Paul use kinguin to get an OEM key. I currently am using a 19" Dell LCD monitor from the previous system and I think its 720p @ 60hz but I will upgrade it when this one dies. Got a keyboard and mouse already from previous system. I'm assuming the 1070 will run around $439 once the stocks settle down so i think i want to stay under$1200 or less if possible.

You might never replace that monitor then. I have a 19 inch Dell LCD monitor from 2009 that still looks like new. These things just never die.

Obviously you can ignore the monitor for now. The only component that is not top drawer, is the motherboard but it is still OK.
