Improve This Build

[Dinoking93]

I have had this build saved away for about 2-3 months.
I am now ready to purchase the parts. Before I do so, any recommendations on what I should change?
Or maybe some builds that are closer to 1000$?

if it were me.
trading overclockability for 2 more cores/ 4 more threads.
the intel chips with the thermal paste are not worth the overclock to me

updated with EVGA G3 650

What monitor do you have? If go with Intel, get coffee lake I5-8400/I7-8700k build. Otherwise, Ryzen build is best bang for the money.

You can build as is.
Unfortunately 8th gen parts like the I5-8600K, I7-8700K and I3-8350K are in demand and supply is scarce.
If you can wait, Look for a I5-8600K 6 core and a Z370 based motherboard.
I5-8600K will be a comparable performer to the 7700K and cost less.

For 60 Hz, your build will be good enough with even gtx 1060... old gen cpu is good enough too... With your budget, get this 100+ FPS build:
