new gaming pc

[iancomputerman]

Hello guys,

I am building a new gaming pc, and I want to know your opinion on the components that I chose in pcpartpicker. I want to know what kind of games will I be able to play and at what graphics settings.

Thanks for your advice!

Hey,

Everything looks great. Only one thing, you've got 7th-gen and Z270 selected when you could go 8th-gen Z370. The i3-8350K is equal to or faster than the i5-7600K. 8th-gen i5 moved to six cores, i5-8400 is not overclockable but still performs like an i7-7700K in gaming. Then the i5-8600K is a little more expensive but may be worth considering.

Even with what you've got you can play all the latest games on high settings and some on ultra 1080p 60fps.

*Oh, and the Cryorig H7 is the new [strike]replacement[/strike] *go-to budget cooler instead of the Hyper 212 Evo. Quieter, shorter, and cools just a tad better.

Agreed with volkgren. Select i5-8400 and not anything below. Or Ryzen 1600.

Thank you, you gave me very good advice!
