New Gaming Rig

[flom1982]

I am going to buy a whole new PC and am wondering if this is a good setup or partially not optimal. I am a Gamer who's streaming via OBS, so Games need to run smooth with some extra power for OBS
My currently planned setup is:

AMD Ryzen 7 2700 8x 3.20GHz
Asus TUF X470-Plus Gaming
16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX schwarz DDR4-3000 DIMM CL15 Dual Kit
Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240 Water Cooling
8GB Asus GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Cerberus Advanced
500GB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 32Gb/s 3D-NAND

Can you provide help, please?

Bit over budget but is completely worth it as you are getting 45% performance gain with R7 2700 GTX1080Ti combo over R7 2700X GTX1070Ti combo which is a huge gain. That 250GB SSD will be enough to handle 2 large games at a time with addition of OS and other software with ease, going for 500GB SSD without secondary mass storage for backup is not a good idea.

Wow! Okay that looks good to me. Why is this combination of 2700/1080Ti so much better than 2700x/1070Ti ? I have another 2TB HDD Storage, the SSD is only for Games and Windows

Thank you very much for your effort!

The reason is because of the performance boost you get with GTX1080Ti over GTX1070Ti. GTX1080Ti is around 35% better in performance compared to GTX1080 and 50% better when compared to GTX1070Ti. I quoted only 45% improvement because R7 2700 at base clock speeds looses some performance compared to R7 2700X stock clock speed. But if you overclock R7 2700 then you will get similar results to what you get out of R7 2700X overclock. If you overclock your CPU then the performance difference increases between the combo as the performance difference decreases between the CPUs.
