New PC Build ~ Is it good enough for the future?

Slow Pri · Mar 7, 2017

Hey Guys!

I am rebuilding my computer and I'm going for a white & black build.
This is my list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Ympwpb

NOTE: I have a 2x4GB HyperX Fury 2133 spare. The EVGA 1050 Ti 4GB SSC (Dual Fans) is also a spare. I will upgrade eventually to a 1080.

Pretty much my question is would this new rebuild be future proof for at least 5 years? I know this may be overkill to the full but It's something I've always wanted to do.

Thanks Guys!

For sure! One thing I would change though is the PSU, go for a GOLD rated PSU if you want longevity. The CX series tend to die sooner. https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Supernova-220-GS-0550-V1-Modular-Supply/dp/B00UVN20UO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1488923261&sr=8-1&keywords=550w+gs I'd go with this. Gold rated, 550 watts (more than you'll need for single 1080), and fully modular, all black cables.

What's good for the future is more powerful 8 cores.

Interesting! I've had this PSU for the past 4 years, running like a champ (knock on wood)

It should last 4/5 years cant see into the future so who knows.
I don't approve of the water cooler, been their done that and went back to high end air.
I would also change the power supply since this one is better quality for about the same price. (I have the 650 watt model one in my PC).

Ah, I didnt see CXM for some reason. They upgraded the M series vs the CX series. The CX series had problems with capacitors burning out. You should be fine, I didn't notice you already had the parts. I assumed you were buying new. Also, albert recommended a Ryzen CPU, which at this point, isn't as good as the 7700k for gaming. Stick with your list.

Not that PSU you have not had for 4 years it was just released about a year ago.

Given the 1700 can OC to about 3.8ghz on the stock wraith cooler put the extra on a top GPU.

I would also not even consider a Zen build.
