Is my PC setup good?

[pRonOoBGR]

Hello guys, I was looking to upgrade my PC System. I care about playing games at 1080p, 60fps, 60hz. I'd like to play most MP (but SP also), on medium/high(even ultra if it is possible), and I was thinking about these:

CPU: i7-7700(non K) *
MOBO: Gigabyte or Asus near 80-100 euros
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX1060 6GB G1 Gaming OR MSI gtx 1060 ARMOR
RAM: HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4-2133MHz x2
Power Suply: 550W

*: I am not buying K version, cause I'm not interesting OC, also MOBO will be more expensive and probably I'd have to buy an expensive cooler.

Also, I live in Greece which means on Summer, temps are high(I've got air codition on my room, but that's not going to help much), so I was thinking of buying Cryorig H7 or CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO

I also waiting for i7-8700 release to compare and find out what I should do.
What's your opinion guys? I hope this system to last about 3-4 years at least.

I have the 1600 and I will say I like the price point a bit better lol. Plus it runs all my games at 1080 mostly maxed just fine.

Ah, I'm from the US and haven't had much trouble.

In any event, the 1070 is good, but here, the prices are close enough, if you are buying a 1070, you might as well get the 1080.

The chepeast gtx 1060 6gb in greece costs 320 euros. 1070 costs 450 and gtx 1080 costs 530.
So yeah.. in my country it sucks a lot.. so much tax(23%) and in general the items are so overpriced. Let's dont start the subject of our debt, please.

I keep posting this video but well I have to when it shows a ryzen 1600 putting up a proper fight with a 7700k clocked at close to 5ghz.

& I known it doesn't relate directly to your build list & requirements but it shows the ryzen chips have nothing in common with amd CPU's of old.


Either way steer clear of straight quad cores if you want a build that won't need upgrading in a couple of years.
The locked i5's are showing their weakness in a fair few current titles , the 7600k only does well because its a massive overclocker & its single core performance is so strong.

The 7700 is still a great CPU at the end of the day if you must go intel BUT so is the ryzen 1600 , it's also cheaper & should to all in intents offer much better future proofing.

I have to do a lot of research about Ryzen, If i'll buy it. Thanks for your opinion!

Another option to consider is picking up a used card right now instead of trying to buy NVidia's current Gen if used cards are available where you are.

The 980ti offers about the same performance as a 1070, and can be found for ~$325 used in the States

The 970 is roughly equivalent to the 1060 and sells for around $180 here. The 780ti is even cheaper and also offers similar performance in most titles, but its 3GB of memory limits it somewhat.

Cheers!
