Hi guys, after customizing my system a lot, i managed to make a build that seems good. But I'm very worried about overheating, etc.... Will my system heat with this build? is it a good build? i dont want my computer overheating...... so is it a good build?

sorry forgot to add, my budget is less than 2000$

Do yourself a big favor and get an SSD. I really never did like the concept of having a separate drive for the OS and installing programs and games split between two drives, but the SSD's boot up so fast, so I built the last 5 systems with SSD's . The only spinning drive I have is on one of the older Z77 systems that I store photos and scanned documents, back-ups etc. I have a 512GB SSD in this system and no spinning drive. I still have half the SSD empty.

Update: online games, MMO's, Multi Player games, all play faster and better when installed on a SSD.

I like that build, but you can get a better PSU for the same price (https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/qYTrxr/evga-power-supply-220g20550y1). The only other thing I can say is that you may ant a higher capacity SSD if you have a lot of games and mayby reconsider you source of windows, those sites that have it for so cheap are a.) not legit and b.) may recycle your code and render your windows useless in two months.
It won't overheat. you have plenty of USB

Hi, Did you buy these components? If you have not, then you can save money and get a GTX 1060, or even a GTX 960. I have two of those monitors, they are great little monitors, I have Far Cry 4, Far Cry Primal, and RB 6 Seige playing fine with that monitor and a GTX 960. I just don't think you need that GTX 1070. If your planning to OC that GPU, then heat might be a concern for the GPU, but not the whole system.

Also I don't think you need 2 TB of storage. 1 TB will be plenty. I suggest you re-think that 128 GB SSD and look at a larger one, with the money you save on that GPU.

i may take up your suggestion, but i do have some questions. A lot of people have told me to get AMD RX 480, but a lot of other people have said get GTX 1060. Which one is worth it?
I also love playing games such as XCOM 2, GTA V, The Halo wars 2 game (which it's recommended settings are at GTX 1060/AMD RX 480. So I'm worried i wont be able to play games on high.ultra in the future...... should i go down for a AMD RX 480 or GTX 1060? or should i stay at 1070?

I am a NVIDIA fan, never had a recent AMD product, so it wouldn't be right for me to comment on the AMD Cards, but I am sure you will be happy with a GTX 1060. I don't think I would see any difference between high and Ultra on a 1080P, 22 inch monitor, I used Heaven ( ultra setting) to test my video cards and I get 50 FPS average, on this system ( Z97- i74790k) , and 30-40 average on my other two systems, which are Z77, core i7 3770k, with GTX 660's, the games run just fine. I don't have XCOM 2 but maybe someone on this thread can enlighten you on real world performance requirements.
