Wanting to make my first build this any suggestions,improvements and how can it perform?

 

[Guest]

This build is quite impressive. I would expect buttery smooth gameplay at 1080p, without settings turned down in most of the games.

Builds looks good, only things i will point out:

1. I imagine you are Overclocking? If not, a i7 7700 (non-K) with non Z Motherboard would be a better performer.
2. The RX 580 8GB is slightly stronger on average so i would consider looking into that (it's the same price range).

This system will be great for Gaming in 1080p 60 FPS High/Ultra in most modern games. Hope this helps

ha great minds think alike 😛 i assumed they are overclocking though and went with the K version 😛

i thought about going with cheaper ram. i mean in that case are LED ram sticks required ? will the effect not be diminished by the green tint ?

 

[Seriff]

Very good point on the ram

Very good point on the ram

i don't know if you already have a monitor capable of keeping up with your intended build so i made another build including a monitor but changed a few things to get the price down without losing too much performance

- The Scythe Mugen 5 is priced cheaper, and Performs better.

- The RX 580 performs slightly better on average. It is normally cheaper, and freesync monitors are cheaper than Gsync ones, if you haven't bought a monitor already. Please refer here with your intended games in mind to find which GPU will better suit you.

- I recommend an SSD. Even if it is 120GB it will allow for very quick boots and quick loading for a program or two. Obviously the higher the capacity, the more programs you could fit on their. 240GB is much better value at the moment.

- Went with a cheaper PSU. Same quality, still enough wattage with headroom.
