Gaming pc build

[Viper9975]

Looking to build a gaming pc. I done amd but now fancy a change. I’m lookinh at the intel 7700k but is there something I could get with a similar performance like a cheaper i5 I only plan to have a gtx 1070 but kinda want it future proof. 16gb dominator ram and a 750 watt psu. Will this be sufficient? Also I don’t get the motherboards, sky lake coffe lake?? What’s the difference? Can you put a sky lake in a coffe lake with the same socket? My budget is £1000 I don’t mind going a little over. Graphics card I already have. I’m usong www.scan.co.uk for my parts as I trust them and do business with them. I want the nzxt manta case white so a mini itx motherboard is a must and I’ve chosen the Asus rog. Along with nzxt x62 aio cooler. Any suggestions. I’m new to Intel and don’t want an over powered cpu paired with a gtx 1070. I currently have a fx9590, 32gb kingston hyper x beast ram and 2 gtx 970s. The system is good it plays everything on ultra, some game have to turn down the graphics but only slightly so I’m happy with that. I like to achieve 60 FPS if I can, happy to go low as 50. I do t do 4K and probably never will 1080p at the moment I’m happy with Also how hot do intels get. I only have Intel laptop and they all get hot, around the 70/80s. My fx runs 32c idle 46c after 8 hours gameplay on 1.35 volts core. (Don’t know why they stock it a 1.5? Way to hot) anyway. Anyone done the change from amd to Intel and noticed a performance difference. My current machine I would say runs warm but only because of the gpus my only concern is it runs at about 550-700 watts which compared to my very old amd atlon which runs at 300, (rarely) just seems a little to high for long gaming. It’s great for heating a room but not great on the energy bills. Anyway feedback would be great. Temps, power usage, performance etc. I rushed into the amd build desperate for a new computer and didnt really look into what I was buying, I saw 8 core 4.7 with a reduced price. It’s srable...kinda I don’t know, every time I turn it on something seems to play up. Graphics running at 50% sometimes crashes but very rarely, doesn’t like restarting unless I turn off load of Mb features. Just want something I could build leave at stock maybe will a little tweak here and there. Thanks peeps

So, things are working well at 1080p but you just want to lower your power bill and stop heating up the room?

Seems the money spent on a new rig is > what you’ll save in electricity.

Could you just remove one of the 970s and shave off a 150w?

If I remove a 970 I’ll loose gaming performance. My whole point is to build something more efficient yet keeping performance.

i5 8600k + z370 motherboard

a huge upgrade from that crappy 9590


if you want sli gtx 970 then get a decent 850w power supply


a single gtx 1070 is utterly inadequate for 4k


so I would strongly suggest a 1440p monitor instead

 

[J_E_D_70]

Said he was happy with 1080p, no plan to do 4k. How is that rig not getting 60 fps at 1080p?

But sure - 8600k, gtx 1070 if they ever come back in stock. That will run 1440p/60 in almost anything and 144 fps in many titles.

I can play at 60fps just some or tomb raider under max settings hangs around 50-55. And what’s up with the gtx 1070 everywhere seems out of stock.
