Approximate Purchase Date: This week for sure.
Budget Range: $3500
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Power through any game on the market...while at the same time look like it cost money. I want my ex-wife to see it and know it cost money.
Are you buying a monitor: I'm thinking dual monitor setup. I've always wanted it, so I think it's time. The budget can increase a little if necessary.
Parts to Upgrade: N/A
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I'm not tied to any specific website.
Location: City, State/Region, Country - Bremerton Washington
Parts Preferences: I will definately have a i7 8700k and a 1080 ti in this system, I prefer a red/black scheme.
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: Up in the air here. I would like to get the most out of the system. My TV is a possibility at the beginning, but would like to dual monitor at some point.
Additional Comments: This will be my first build, so keep that in mind. I'm recently divorced active duty Navy(15 years today). This is my welcome to the single life gift to myself. It's something I've wanted to do for years, but always had that nagging voice in my ear about spending money on something like this. I would like to keep the budget to around $3500. I do have a 65" LG OLED 4k TV that I could use as a temporary monitor for the desktop if that's something you would recommend. This is what I'm looking at right now. The things I'm not really sure on are how to make it look good on the interior. What motherboard to go with.
And Most Importantly, why are you upgrading: It's the bachelor life for me!
What I'm looking at:
CPU: Intel I7-8700k(must have)
CPU Cooler: Fractal Design Celsius S24 87.6 CFM liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: MSI Z370 Godlike Gaming LGA 1151
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB DDR4 3200 Memory
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSG
Seagate FireCuda 2TB 3.5" 7200 RPM Hybrid
