hey buddy, thanks for the builds. but i don't think i'll be needing more than the 1070 + i won't be overclocking at all, also no SLI's haha.
i just need a build that'll live about 4 years with me that has some decent cooling and won't require upgrading. maybe 1000-1300$? ((as i said the cheaper the better

)) i said no to SSD's cause they're really expensive so i just thought to myself that a normal hard drive would do me just fine.
p.s; i don't care about the look, all black is just fine with me

Quixies_187 :

You really ought to consider adding an SSD. Regular HDDs are like snails in comparison. Even a small SSD to load Windows, and your most commonly used programs is worth it. I have a 128GB Samsung 850 pro that I use with the OS, and all the main programs.

Then I have 1TB and 1.5TB drives for the remaining games and other stuff.
