I am not very good at creating pc builds. I wanted to know if I can get a better rig than this (price $1,385) I can't go any higher than this moneywise. Here is the link for the pc I built off of. https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Cyber_Deal_Z170-I7 I want to avoid liquid cooling as well. I have heard it can be a little unreliable at times and would just like to play it safe with the standard fans. (Please note that the link above takes you to the build that I started on. The specs listed are what I changed the build to. I can't send the link to my build unfortunately it keeps going back to the original.) If you send me any other builds or info please use the site I created mine on. Any help is appreciated. I plan on running games like arma 3 (Med-High/ultra 60 fps if possible) PS. I already have a decent monitor so I can get a better later if need be that is why no monitor is listed with the build.

Sorry spent $20 extra for keyboard and mouse. But this PC is a beast and can run any game at high-ultra at 60fps+ with ease.

Wait and get GTX1080 nearly same price or would recommend you to gather $50-100 more to be on safe side. Try collecting that as you are spending nearly $1380 spending $1450 would give you the best results without getting compromised on stuff.

All the best for your build.

Do you really need an I-7 6700 for gaming? Builders like cyberpower usually skimp on things like quality RAM and PSUs.

Here's a build that emulates yours, but is so much better (two 1070's in SLI). Or you can go with one 1070, and come in cheaper than the $1385 than the cyberpower, and you'll know that you have high quality components all the way through.

Yours is a great build no doubt but he could go for single GTX1080 instead of SLI GTX1070 and throw another one in SLI if required in future. For a bit boost I would not go with SLI as I will be getting nearly as good performance with single card.

Just my opinion
