Hello, I'm going to buy this components to build a computer and in the next months add a GPU (looking forward for a GTX1080). This is what I can afford here in Argentina. My doubt is if it is worthy to buy an unlocked CPU for this components (just in case I want to overclock in the future, I'm not sure). Or anything else you would change. My idea is to build a Mid/High end gaming PC, hope my choices are worthy.

CPU: INTEL CORE I7 7700K 4.20 GHz
COOLER: COOLERMASTER HYPER 212 LED
MOTHER: GIGABYTE GA-Z270 GAMING 3
RAM: 2X8 DDR4 3200 CORSAIR LPX BLACK
STORAGE: HDD 2TB SATA3 64MB WD BLUE
PSU: CORSAIR CX750M SEMI MODULAR 80 PLUS
CASE: CARBIDE 400C BLACK SF

Thank you very much!

For that price level, I recommend Ryzen 1600 + MSI pc mate. Best bang for the money, and spend the money on a good gpu/PSU. However, if you have enough money, 8400 will be better for gaming although not worth $100 more imo.

Well, other rams that they offered me are (didn't specify the model numbers):

Ballistix CRUCIAL DDR4 2400 2x8GB: 228 USD
Ballistix SPORT DDR4 2666 2x8GB: 260 USD

And looking in our sort of "Ebay" I found out this ones:

Kingston Hyper x HX426C15FB/8: 302 USD
Gskill Trident Z RGB F4-3000C16D-16GTZR: 256 USD

Just to have some reference

Ok, perhaps later I sell them and bring some rams from offshore...

So this will be it:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600
GPU: GTX 1070 ASUS ROG STRIX 8GB
RAM: Corsair Vengance DDR4 LPX Black 3000Mhz 2x8GB
Mother: Msi B350 Pc Mate
Storage: KINGSTON 240GB UV400
PSU: Corsair CX550M
Case: Raidmax Alpha Prime A15 White

I have some HDD somewhere, I will use those in the meantime. I will ask for budget for this components and come back tomorrow with news I hope. Thank you very much

Hi,

I couldn't update you yesterday. I've got it, I bought the components yesterday and I will pick them on Saturday (the store is in Buenos Aires federal district and it's pretty busy during week).

Thank you all! Really appreciate your help! :)

I wish you all the best.
