So I'm looking at building a new gaming computer in the mid-high end range. I've put together a list (https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Sam095/saved/#view=gQf9cf) but I feel like for the price, I could probably get a better build (or a similar build a bit cheaper), so I'm looking for some help. I'd say my max budget would be ~$1500. I want this computer to last me for at the very least the next 5 years or so, and be able to play most current games out today on Ultra settings, 1080p. Will this build check those boxes?
Some things to note:
I already own a GeForce 1660 Ti GPU, and want to purchase a second graphics card for a second monitor. Will this GPU be sufficient to deliver ultra-quality graphics on major titles out today, or should I look to upgrade and use this card for my second monitor? If the 1660 ti will be enough, I'd probably just use the onboard graphics for my second monitor. I don't plan on getting into 4K gaming at the moment, but I would like the ability to if I decide to upgrade my monitor.
If I get a second graphics card, will I need to get a bigger power supply?
I see the Intel i-5's suggested a lot for mid range gaming pc's, how much difference would there be between an i-7 and an i-5 in terms of performance?
In advance, thank you for any and all help. I used Tom's Hardware forum to get help with my first PC build about 6 years ago, and was extremely impressed with the resulting build that I went with.
