help an IT student in in pc build ( march 2018)

[gilles-drogba]

hey guys !
I'm in my first year of college and I've decided to build my first computer. I worked in the summer and made 1100€ So I'm looking for something in the 1100-1200 price range

I've made some builds and want to ask your opinions about which is the best
Total(i3-8350k, 1060 6go, ssd 250Go , 16GB RAm) 1113€
Total (i3-8350k, 1070 8go, ssd 120 Go , 16 GB Ram) 1290€
Total(i5-7600k, 1070 8go , ssd 120Go, 16 Gb Ram) 1261€
Total( i3-7100, 1070 8Go,ssd 120Go, 16 GB RAm) 1201€
Total (ryzen 5-1600, 1070 8go, ssd 120Go, 16 Gb Ram) 1234€

also I'm not so sure about the ram frequency usually I chose 2400MHz in those builds because of the recent skyrocketing in Ram these past months but I don't know how much it influences the computer

Thanks for your critics and/or recommendations

if you are looking for gaming, don't get i3. go with either the i5 or the ryzen. Make sure you are getting a Z270 motherboard for the i5 K series because otherwise you won't be able to overclock and you'll just have paid more money for an overclockable CPU that you can't overclock.

If it's possibly within budget, get at least a 1TB HDD for all of your games to be stored on. a 120GB SSD is perfectly fine for your OS and some main applications like the web browser, steam client etc.

You need faster RAM for Ryzen. At least 2666Mhz but 3000Mhz is recommended for good performance, especially if you are going to overclock. On top of that, you need either a B350 or X370 motherboard to overclock Ryzen. You could save a little money to put towards these boards if you have originally picked lesser by switching out the 1070 for a 1060 if that helps you to get the necessary funds for better board and faster RAM for Ryzen. Or just a better board with the i5.

What country are you in? I can then look up parts for you and help you out further by putting together a system for you on PCPP

I live in Belgium yeah but it's because I read that the 1060 would possibly become outdated way faster than a 1070 and I don't want to buy another 450€ GPU in 1year and a half to be able to run the newer games
In these builds I already included a 1tb hdd storage, a case, a compatible motherboard for each and a 550W power supply (I'm not sure about the wattage so I took the most common I found maybe it isn't enough)
Thank for your answer !

took alternate.be as reference.This is about under €1000,leaves money for windows as well.Things can be changed of course.
Looking at used for the gpu right now because of prices on new ones.

Remember that 'outdated' in these cases means running a bit more slowly, or having to turn some settings down a notch on the newest and hardest to run games, it does not mean, 'will not work any more'
