[jankerson]

You are going to have to spend more than that if that's what you want.

A high-end Graphics card will be at least half that to almost all of it.

I love these posts. I need a SUPER HIGH END PC that can potentially last 5+ yrs but I can only spend 1000, lol

add another 1000 at least, get the latest vid cards coming out if you want to go 5 years

if you tell me a gaming pc, then by default, it should be a SUPER HIGH END box or get a console.

This is about the best I can do...The operating System in Windows 10 Pro can be bought for under $10 on Ebay..fully legitimate. I have paired a 8400 with a GTX 1080 and 16GB DDR4 3000 RAM

CPU Intel - Core i5-8400 2.8GHz 6-Core Processor - $199.79
Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO $27.89
Motherboard MSI - Z370-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard $99.89
G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory $144.99
Storage SanDisk - SSD PLUS 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive $53.99
Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $59.09
Video Card EVGA - GeForce GTX 1080 8GB FTW $434.98 Newegg
Case Cooler Master - MasterBox Lite 5 ATX Mid Tower Case $45.98
Power Supply Thermaltake - Toughpower GOLD 750W 80+ Gold $59.99

Total $1126.59

This should provide top end gaming for quiet some time....

Choices can be made on the SSD and Power Supply to add or reduce price a bit. I would stick with a Z370 motherboard as they all have received BIOS updates for 9th Gen Intel CPU's so 9700K, 9800K and the 8 core 16 thread 9900K...coming in Sept/Oct.

I think that you don't want to reduce your PSU in quality, but maybe even increase. I heard that SeaSonic has very good PSU's, but are around $90-100. The another thing is the graphics card. The difference between the 1080 and 1070ti isn't that big. But in this particular case the 1080 was even cheaper than the 1070ti, so yeah, good deal I think. So I think that this is a very good build for the money.

Hi stealthstreak, the Thermaltake 750 Toughpower Gold is an excellent deal and its gold rated. Also it has been reviewed very well even by JohnnyGuru who is about a good as it gets when it comes to PSU's...Yes Seasonic is better, in fact brilliant, but this PSU will do the job and has a 10 year warranty and as importantly, room to grow when and if he expands or upgrades...and finally the price is simply great for a 750w Gold at 59.99

I totally agree that the price of $60 for a gold rated psu is a great deal! In that case the psu is alright ;-)

Here's what I see. My pc is 5 years old. Still gaming at ultra settings on everything I play. I7-3770K and gtx970. But! I also don't play all the latest and greatest and absolutely must have intense games.

So where is the preference. A i5-8400 and gtx1070 will cover med to high settings in almost everything current at 1080p. If you are still playing the same games 5 years from now, nothing will change, you'll be at ultra settings easily in most games still. Or maybe games will get more intense, and at 1080p require an RTX 2260 or better with an equitable output of today's gtx1080ti just to get decent fps.

5 years in the future is too far away to make any guesses on, even 5 years ago, buying a top of the line gtx980 would still leave many games wanting today.
