New gaming PC with Monitor-2700ish budget

[defenderofrome]

Hi I am looking to build a new computer for gaming, web browsing and possibly some light video editing. The parts list I have so far is as follows

-Intel i7-8700k

-Noctua NH-D15 cpu cooler

- MSI-Z370 SLI Plus ATX LGA 1151 motherboard

-Corsair vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM

-Crucial-MX500 2.5 1TB SSD

-Asus-GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB STRIX Gaming Video Card

-SeaSonic- Focus Plus Gold 650+ watt 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX power supply

-The case is to be determined

-The monitor is to be determined

-No software will be required in the build


I hope my build is at least up too par but my main question would be A. Dose anyone have any recomendations for a different set of parts or a better build? B. Will this build run 4k games and if not how much would it cost to get it to 4k C. What monitor and case would best fit my build?

Thank you for any responses(In advance)!

It's good for 4K 60Hz/fps (different games may vary). Good monitors are expensive, but a high refresh rate monitor will seem better if you can push the high framerates to match it. I have a cheap 1080p 144Hz monitor and a cheap 4K 60Hz monitor and the 1080p 144Hz is much superior in gaming quality.

I'd rather have 1440p 144Hz though, it's more fluid than 4K 60Hz.

The difference in the two monitors is one is IPS (newer, better) and the other is TN (older). I haven't studied 4K monitors much because I don't see any high refresh rate ones for sale yet.

Case: Corsair - Carbide 400C ATX Mid Tower Case ($89.99 @ Amazon)
Case: Phanteks - Enthoo Pro M Tempered Glass (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($91.49 @ Amazon)
Monitor: Asus - PG279Q ROG Swift 27.0" 2560x1440 165Hz Monitor ($741.56 @ Amazon)
Monitor: Acer - Predator XB1 27.0" 2560x1440 165Hz Monitor ($530.99 @ Amazon)

Thanks for the advice on monitors it was very helpful, but would you have any personal recommendations for changes in the build? I ask because I am a first time builder and you seem much more experienced than me.

Your list looks good. Saving money on the MX500 (instead of going for the faster Samsung 860 Evo) is okay if that's what you want to do, still considerably faster than a traditional HDD.

Only thing I would mention is that I learned (after buying mine) is that the GTX 1080 Ti will throttle in 12.5MHz increments when temps go above an unusually low temp of 54C, 62C, 70C, etc. The only 1080 Ti that I know of that can stay below 54C is the EVGA Hybrid.

Thread with that info - https://forums.evga.com/1080-FTW-downclocking-itself-even-though-temperatures-are-fine-m2553183.aspx

But honestly, I've not noticed much difference in gaming performance. My GPU temps are around 70-72C while gaming. So this might be dismissable if you don't want to worry about a liquid cooler leaking or failing, though I'm sure EVGA would cover it if still under warranty (I bought the extended 10yr warranty through EVGA). EVGA allows you to remove the cooler on your GPU and still be under warranty as long as you return it with the original cooler if you have to RMA. Other manufacturers like Asus do not allow you to remove the cooler.

I guess my point is if you think you might ever mess around with your GPU's cooling solution I'd go EVGA, and if you don't ming liquid right now go with the hybrid.
