Hi All,

I was hoping for some advice on the below. I've built a few systems in my time but not for 5 years now so well in need of an upgrade.

I'm curious if anyone can suggest certain changes on the below to run the latest games at 4k, i7 because I hear Total War benefits. Looking particularly at specifics around running 4k and any alternative larger than 27-inch screens.

Budget isn't a thing and i'll be buying very soon.

Monitor: Acer Predator XB321HK
Case: Corsair 330R
Mobo: Asus Intel ROG STRIX Z270E
CPU: Intel Core I7-7700k
PSU: Corsair AX 760W
Cooling: Corsair Hydro Series H80i v2
GPU: Asus Nvidia GTX 1080Ti
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 (2 x 8GB) 3000MHz
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB
HDD: Seagate Firecuda 2tb 3.5 Sata 3 SSHD x 2
DVD: ASUS BC-12D2HT

Thanks in advance everyone!
Liam

Build looks good for the most part, only three points. To make an AIO liquid cooler worthwhile you really need to be at 240 radiators or larger. AIO coolers are not as durable as air coolers and their performance can be matched by air coolers until you get to larger radiators. Having said that the H80i is a really good 120mm.

Second, not sure of the connection type for the SSD, try to get the m.2 version. Last, you won't need the Hybrid drive since you have an SSD, you can go with just a plain HDD.
