Need help with high end PC please!

[littlebob86]

Hey guys!

How are we all?? : )

So I’m looking to build a high end PC, around $4000 AUS. I don’t need any fancy lights and I want parts that are stock, or preferably stock over clocked, as I would blow something up and then cry : )

I’m set on coffee lake, i7 8700 or 8700k and gtx 1080 ti. I’ll be playing games on 1440p @144hz on max graphics, and I like to use multiple programs at once, so from my reading, I need this build to run it consistently : )

I’ve read the 8700k has overheating problems and is noisy without much performance over the 8700?

I’m at a loss with the amount of ti cards there are out there!!! I mainly want one with best stock or stocked OC performance.

I’m also at a loss with the different mother boards out there! And seems like there’s some decent competition as well! I’m only looking to have 1 ti card, at the moment 1x nvme ssd for the OS (Samsung 950), and another fast drive for games (PCI SSD??) (Samsung 850?) – I want fast load times : ) Maybe one with a good on board sound card (Although that’s a minimal want).

I just picked out random case, fans and PSU, although I did some numbers and having a good quality 600W (Gold or above) should be more than fine (can you recommend any particular ones for both?).

So again, not after any fancy lights and I don’t need any peripherals.

This link is one for a local PC store near me that I punched in some random parts.

here is a list of parts for such system with decent quality
there is no point in two smaller SSDs, you get much more with single larger SSD.
I have not selected a CPU cooler, but any of high end Noctua, Be Quiet, Cryorig coolers will be more than enough.

forgot about a cooler for the cpu, nonsense... and the cooler littlebob chose is rubbish.

Get a decent AIO if you are worried about cpu temps.
