Hey im looking to build a new gamer computer with 1080 ti graphic card. So need you guys opinion on my build.
Build:
Motherboard: Asus Z170-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory

CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K/6700k? 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor

CPU cooler: H50 corsair cooler from previous build (might upgrade that in the future)

Then i have a PSU also From Last Computer, im pretty sure its a Corsair Cx 600 +80 bronze, i dont Know if It Is Enough Power Tho :/

Might also need a SSD 400 GB.

And ofc the 1080 ti when it hits the market.

This PC should be able to run most games at 60 fps on ultra and 4k (not many good 4k monitors there is good tho) also VR should be an option, when that time comes. Aaaaand star citizen is prob gonna be my main game!
And also, i have a bunch of stuff from my last pc, so yea hardrives, fans that i will use in this build as well. Just do you know.
Thanks!:p

If you can afford the i7, go for that, if not then the i5 should good. With the PSU, I would go with something that's either Silver or Gold (Platinum if you can afford it) because it sounds like you want this to last. If the monitor is good enough, it do more than 60 FPS on max settings.
 


Yes, I know that, and if I were him and were going to get a 1080 Ti, I would want the best efficiency I could get. I know companies pay for the certification. But Corsair, Seasonic and EVGA are respected brands.

I would replace the PSU with a quality one for the build.

Corsair are variable, their old CX and current VS ranges are very low quality
