Help me build a new computer

Brandon_127 · Nov 1, 2017

I am looking to build a new computer I want the biggest bang for my buck. I want to be able to play games like destiny 2 at 4k and I would really like to start getting to steaming and recording for sites like youtube and twitch. If you could help me find the parts that would be great and cost isnt really that big of a deal but the cheaper the better lol

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Kssm6X I know this is not the cheapest build, but I'm sure it's the best looking one.

If its for gaming, intel has the edge.

Solid mid range Fractal Design (actual price at Newegg: $49.99 + $8.99 Shipping = $58.98) case come with two white led fans + one additional exhaust in the purchase to provide the necessary cooling for the 8700k and a GTX1080Ti. Corsair TXM 750W Gold at just 140mm long, making it the right sized PSU for this case; only the main ATX24pins and EPS 8pins that you must use are fixed, the rest of the cables are modular, so in term of actual usage, it's no different than a fully modular PSU.

And at $46, the Scythe Fuma bring high end cooling to the mid-range budget; being within 2-3 degrees of the best off-the-shelf solutions that are twice/thrice as expensive. It's by no random luck that it has won Toms Hardware Editor's Recommended, Tech Power Up Editor Recommended, HardOCP Gold awards, etc.

The Ripjaws V is on sale right now, and you should take advantage of every sale of good RAM because DDR4 prices is still expected to increase (despite price already increased by ~100% since last year).
