Hi. I have never built a pc and this would be first and I don't really know much about technical stuff of pc.

I'm looking for a good pc build for a budget around 1000€-1500€ with GTX 1070 if I want 1080p/1440p and max settings on every game to run. I also would want 16Gb ram (If I remember right, 2x 8Gb was cheaper or something.) And SSD of some kind + 1TB HDD I think. The look of pc doesn't matter so much so any case that is good for all the parts and such.

My current monitor is 1680x1024 lol and I should probably get better one so suggestions for good monitor would also be welcome. maybe 1080p atleast or maybe even that 1440p. With 144Hz I think whatever that means because that is better than 60Hz somehow right? Or what does that difference do in that? You don't need to include monitor price in the budget. It can be separated.
And what I basically need to follow to succesfully build a pc if I don't know anything about the parts? I also read something about some kind of wrist thingys or something you can maybe need to not get a shock or something while building it so what those are exactly?
And I prefer NOT to overclock the computer and I don't record gaming or make any videos and edit stuff or anything. Just need a computer for gaming that can run everything on max settings.
Also I am not sure if I need a sound card with it since I have also read that it is not necessary? Or if I should take one what should it be?
I also live in Finland so if there is anything special about getting the parts here and buying them, please let me know.
Also the case should have atleast 2 USB slots, preferrably 3 or more.
Anything else I should know?

You could go to Partpicker.com and see completed builds, some even have building guides and performance numbers. i7-6700k is a popular CPU to go with, I might build around a i7-6800k to enable Intel Turbo Boost 3.0. (For single GPU, SLi go with 6850k)

yes 100hz - 144hz is better, that is the refresh rate, 2k monitor is excellent although 60hz 1080p is ok
you don't need a soundcard and can add that later

If I would go with Niklas_13's build, can other people confirm that it will work together and all the parts would fit there and the monitor is good?
I also replaced that i5 CPU with i7, hopefully still working?

That made price lil bit over 1500 but it's fine I guess. However the monitor price was separately anyway.
 


everything will work together m8

if the monitor is not in the 1500E whats the budget for the monitor ?

the gtx 1070 will be a beast at 1080P and will do well at 1440p

if you can find the https://pcpartpicker.com/product/93Crxr/cryorig-cpu-cooler-h7 it will be a bit of a upgrade over the 212 Evo
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3kL7YJ/samsung-internal-hard-drive-mz75e250bam
or the SSD

if your budget allows maybe go with a 1440p 1 MS 144hz G-sync https://pcpartpicker.com/product/BcTrxr/dell-monitor-s2716dg
the gtx 1070 still will do well with the g-sync making everything smooth even if your not hitting 144 hz
