Just kidding. This is an entirely pointless thread though and should probably be in general discussions.

7700k with a 1050 ti is a super unbalance match. You are far better off getting a rx 480\1060\1070 with a 7600k for the same price.

Hell there have even been good deal on the 6600k lately and the mobos are slightly cheaper.

Look for a better SSD deal on slickdeals. They are constantly happening.

Edit: Btw that monitor is crap for the price. Get a 24" 144hz monitor or a 27 inch 1440p. 1080p at 27inches looks terrible. 60hz is also way less smooth.

Okay, you caught my eye with the 7700K. Let's see what you've done.

You then purchased a mid-level closed loop water cooler. No points. 120mm cooler where I would expect a 240mm or bigger radiator.

A well appointed motherboard on par with the K CPU.

An okay case.

An okay PSU for a 1050. In the future if you upgrade that GPU, the current PSU won't be so pretty.

Overall i give it a solid 4.5.

After some unexpected issues I purchased a monitor. With your build in mind it's fine for the current build.

With a 240GB SSD it's not exactly prepared for gaming.

Rate? Solid 2 out of 10(10 best)..
