I need help on a PC build!

[Shouxx]

Hello! I an very new to PC building (and these forums, 1st post). I was looking for some people to steer me in the right direction to make my PC great for high end gaming now, and in the future, and help me drop the price down with comparable parts and thing of that nature. (USD 1500 is preferable, but a little more is ok =P), thanks in advance, and if you some how find room a monitor (or 3) please tell me.

Changed case, PSU and memory. Case is still a good one, psu is an awesome one for that price, and memory is about same price but faster

thats a pretty solid build...if i were u, i wont compromise on any of those parts...specially for the standard of performance it will give u and also future proofness...
u can always compromise on quality to save money on some of those parts, but its not recommended...

EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply is junk and I would get the CRYORIG H7 over the EVO.

Rest of the build looks great.

So the only thing that I would invest in a little bit more is a beefier power supply for possibly another graphics card in the future, also you can get OCZ solid state for 111GB for half the price. Haven't really had a problem with mine what so ever, and your paying for the name. I really only keep software on my solid state, having games on it doesn't make a difference from a 1TB Western Digital HD. You could toss the wireless adapter for a wired connection (hopefully). Then my last suggestion and plead is just get the 1080.

Thank you everyone!

Why the 1080 over the 1070 (other than performance) or is performance the only thing that would warrant an upgrade? And sadly the router/modem or whatever (I'm not well versed in internet connections) is down in the kitchen and my room is up a floor and about as far away from the kitchen you can get, so sadly no ditching the WiFi adapter =(

Lol please keep in mind that there is always a way if you ask the right people for a solution.

For your networking issue, take a look into these link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833122676

They take your power architecture of your house and run the internet through it. So basically you put one in your ktichen and then one in your bed room and ba-da-bing you have internet (hopefully).

The 1080 is almost 1.5x better than the 1070 and have further capabilities, you can also add to it (future proofing) and wouldn't have to worry about upgrading any time soon. The 1070 is still great don't get me wrong but for 100 to 200 dollars more it makes sense, but if you don't have the money then you don't have the money. Please don't forget to up vote the people that you found helpful!

Good luck

Thank you so much! I wish I could up vote you more than once, and after that explanation I have decided on the 1080, I think an extra year tacked onto the life of my PC is worth $100, also, would the Super Clocked version of the 1080 be better than any non SC version of the 1080, with a price difference of only 30 USD 619.99 to 649.99, I feel like it is worth it but I just wanted a second input.

u can run an ethernet as well from ur kitchen...just need to find the correct size cat6...
also i wud suggest that instead of the 1080 u shd rather think of the i7-6700k and a nominal card for now like a 750ti...
and maybe save some money in a couple of months and go for the 1080...
an i7 with the 1080 will be an ultimate build in the long run...u can sleep soundly for the subsequent 5yrs without thinking abt anything else...

just a point of view...

Thanks for that input! Just a question, would that 750ti hold its own on max settings with the i7 6700k? (I assume it would but just making sure)

 

[Hellfire13]

it shd be able to give u pretty much what u need for now, until the 1080...and if u overclock the 750ti a bit, it shd do prtty well...

If you live in an apartment complex those will likely not work, just because the electrical goes every where in the those apartments but you never know!

I have revised my build and I think I have done pretty well, if anyone would like to look it over again, that would be much appreciated!
