Build Advice Upcoming build 2021

[alexlane0101]

Hi! I'm working on putting together a build right now and wanting to see if anyone could take a quick glance for any opinions or complete roasts about something I might be doing wrong. Anything to steer me in the right direction is appreciated.

Use: 1080p games mostly based around FPS titles-ARK: survival evolved. Aiming to enter the realm of high frame rates around medium and above graphics settings. Possibilities of playing newer titles that might be more demanding graphically as well.

What is your budget?

Do you already have that 1070?

Consider going to 2x8GB better chance of less fuss.
Also bump the psu to 600w.

At this time you would be better off spending a extra 100 bucks and buying a prebuilt. You can add another drive when needed.

Or for a lower price you could drop down to a RTX 3060 video card.

Reviews of that cpu with benchmarks.

Intel Core i5-11400F Review - The Best Rocket Lake

The Core i5-11400F is Intel's most affordable Rocket Lake processor. While its multiplier is locked, you can still adjust the power limit. Once we did that, the CPU ran over 15% faster and almost matched the Core i5-11600K. We also made an interesting discovery regarding Gear 1 vs. Gear 2.
