I'm just looking for suggestions or things that I may have overlooked. My current rig was a pre built that I've upgraded some, but now that I have a better monitor/gpu/psu I really want to bring everything else up to date and get a better looking case. My pc now has been great to me but i think it's having a hard time keeping newer titles over 60-80fps.
Approximate Purchase Date: As soon as Coffee Lake releases
System Usage: Heavy Gaming/streaming, surfing the web, possibly a bit of video work and whatever else I decide to throw at it.
Parts to Upgrade:
CPU (to 8700k from current 3820)
Mobo (to whatever good quality z370 board comes out from Asrock Extreme 4-m)
SSD (might try an nvme)
CPU Cooler (currently using 212evo, dont know what to get)
Case (glass panels and room to work, I like the looks of 760t or crystal 570x so far)
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, will likely be going to Windows 10 now for dx12 games in the future.
Parts Preferences: No brand preference just strictly performance
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: No plans to SLI currently unless adding another 1080ti becomes viable at some point (doubtful)
Your Monitor Resolution: 1440p/144hz
I have a new 750w g3 psu i'm hoping will be powerful enough to switch over. My sandy bridge oc'd with my new 1080ti really sucks down the power, but when i used a calculator for a new build it said i need 783w under load and recommended an 800w psu. 750w should be fine, right?
If i build it I want to push it to its maximum, I'll likely be running my system 24/7 oc'd and since I have time to save I'd really appreciate help picking quality parts. Do I custom loop and throw blocks on everything for the hell of it, do I opt for a case like the 760t and throw a huge rad up top, or maybe the 570x with the biggest cooler it can fit? Other than a glass panel on the case Im not concerned with looks all too much, i'd just like to be able to put together a rough list of parts and have an approximate cost before I dive into it. What would you do? Thanks in advance.
