I'm building a new rig. Suggestions?

[SlayerNebula]

This is the setup i'm pretty sure everything is good but i wanted others opinions on the components i chose thanks. I basically just want to be able to play intensive games at high frame rates (100+) and watch other forms of media on my second monitor, twitch, youtube, etc...

what resolution do you play? 1070 can only guarantee 100+ FPS @1080p, I suggest a 1070ti/1080 in case you need 1440p, ram can be cheaper and mb can be better, psu is overkill, 500+ good quality psu can handle already.

I play at 1080P probably going to jump on 4K and skip 1440P when cards get fast enough. So what motherboard and ram would you recommend especially since ddr4 is so expensive right now.

EDIT: OH i see you edited it, ok i will take a look at those parts. Thanks!

So what's the difference between this board and the MSI one? I actually have a ASRock board right now. LGA 1151 Ivy-Lake i5-3570K it's a really nice board and I trust ASRock but what are the main differences and advantages/upgrades if you know?

taichi is one of the best MBs if you want serious overclocking of 8700k. 1080ti will be needed if you play @ 4k, however, 1440p and 144Hz gaming is better compared to 4k @ 60FPS.

Yeah i'll probably upgrade to Nvidia's latest flagship when 4k 144hz becomes practical but that might not be for another 2-3 years, economically speaking, technology, supply, and demand. etc.. Thanks for your help though these parts are definitely better for the price since i get a better board thanks!

Sounds good, good luck
