i want to build my first pc.
CPU:7700k
MOBO: Prime Z270-a
GPU:rog 1080 ti oc
PSU:Evga gq 850w
RAM:Gskill Tridentz 8GBX2 3600GHz
CASE:s340 elite
COOLER: ??
i wan't to make really few oc so i want one cooler that looks nice and fits on the case .
also you think i shold change the card to a 1080 normal? i will use it for games , video editing , 3d modeling (in blender) , and in some future neural network

Yes, a cryorig h5 would be great.

Consider switching to 8600k and prime a z370 mobo.

A 650w psu is all you need. 850w if you have plans on sli later.

If you're going to be doing a lot of productivity I'd say go with Ryzen 1700 and OC it to 4Ghz. Twice the cores and threads even stock blows the 7700K away in blender and adobe premier when the 7700K is OC 5Ghz.

if you plan to buy new, go i7 8700k with a proper z370 mobo

with a cryorin R1 cpu cooler

8700K and Z370 boards are expensive though. That's why I suggested the r7 1700 because It's a lot cheaper and can be OC's on cheaper B350 boards. Also Why that cooler? Kraken X62 is pretty much the best out there.

not when he wanted to buy an 7700k + z270 mobo

the 1700 is not in the same performance category


the cryorig r1 does not have the chance of leaking and is in the same performance tier as high end water coolers



also most b350 mobos have terrible VRM's that cannot handle the 1700 without serious throttling

You can't use he asked for a 7700K and Z270 when you're saying to go with a different platform as well!

The 1700 kicks the 7700K's arse in productivity and with a 1080Ti the CPU won't bottleneck gaming unless you have a 1080p 240Hz monitor which would be awful for video editing.

Having worked in a vanilla S340 before I can tell you it is very narrow and bulky air coolers struggle to fit when my single tower Shadow rock slim which is shorter than the R1 bent the acrylic window. The elite being glass won't have as much give which is why I suggested a water cooler that would have no such issues.

Then get one with decent VRMs it's not difficult. Or an X370 if you really wanted it's still better value than the Z370 platform.

^ regarding 1700 and 1080ti bottlenecking, the max fps ryzen can push in latest AAA games seems to be around 90-100fps in maxed out settings. So if you are using an ultrawide 100hz panel, or a g sync monitor, it's not an issue.

If it's just a 144hz panel, 8700k is the way to go.

What titles are you talking about? Sea of thieves is a new AAA title and it can push well over 100 there and over 100 with a 1080Ti on FarCry 5 maxed out. With this workload though I would be expecting a lower refresh 1440p or 4K panel for colour accuracy and detail.

Which TR? Suppose PubG was horrible with CPUs but I don't play it don't know if anythings changed and with a 1080Ti 120+ FPS on GTA V should be easy.

There are some really nice panels. Though Samsung, LG and the like do good 1440p ultrawide IPS ones though they're VERY expensive.

price wise there is little difference was my point, so get the newer better tech


not difficult no, more expensive yes

not better value either, intel has that game on lock right now

i5 8400 + h370, but that is neither here nor there

Price wise there's little difference? There's $100 in it. So you could get a similarly performing CPU to the 8700K for $100 less, you get a longer lasting platform for upgrades and you don't need to delid the thing to get a decent OC out of it.

Yes Ryzen is better value. And put the similarly priced 6c/12t r5 1600 against the 8400 see where it lands in productivity.

I get that easily on my I7 7700K and GTX 1080....

So yeah an I7 8700K and GTX 1080Ti would be even better.

But as we've pointed out before the monitor probably won't be a high refresh panel because they're dominated by TN panels which are terrible for video editing etc so you'd either be pushing frames you'll never see or working at 1440p ultrawide or 4K where the GPU would be the bottleneck.

But they also want it for video editing and 3d modelling which a 1st gen ryzen is around the same performance or better and is cheaper by a lot. And if any game wasn't smooth with a 1080Ti you're doing something wrong. You could run it with a 2600K and it would be fine. Hell with the savings from the CPU you could invest a bit more to bump the 1080Ti up to a Titan XP for better neural networking.

Depends on what they are REALLY doing with it and how much.

If it's primary a gaming machine then they are better off with the I7's by a long shot.

I don't think they need a GTX 1080Ti, a high end GTX 1080 like the FTW2 would be plenty.

His setup is fine other than the PSU.

What's wrong with the PSU it's a good Gold unit?

If they're going to be doing Neural networking I'm 90% sure VRAM is very useful and why the Titans 12GB makes it better compared to the 1080Ti's 11 so I assume the 8gb on the 1080 would hamper that a lot.

Even in a gaming machine unless you're going 1080p 144-240Hz it really doesn't matter. 1440p puts the GPU as the bottleneck and so does 4K.

This was all about the cooler lol
