Hi guys im buying new pc in few weeks.My current setup i5 4690k,z97 gaming7 from msi,gtx 960 8 gb of ddr3,rm550x PS,h110igtx water cooler.I will be buying i7 8700,z370-f ROG strix,gtx 1070ti,and for the ram i got some questions.Should i go for higher speed like 3200mhz 3400mhz 8gb or should i take 16gb of something like 2600mhz?will it affect my perfomance?Or should i go with i7 8700k and some cheaper mobo ? is i7 8700 future proof like 8700k?Or maybe i should go for ryzen 1700? get good mobo and for that money buy 1080? over 1070ti?I will mainly play games like arma 3/bf1/squad/cs go/and some new stuff that comes in.Ive got 144hz monitor.

Since you are buying a good overclocking mb, get 8700k instead. 1080 is not much more than the 1070ti you pick, get 1080. PSU is enough for the system and RMx is very good. My edits:

If you are going to play cpu intensive games like battlefield 1, ryzen is a good choice as it has extra cores, but the i7-8700 is not a bad choice at all.
Personally I would go for 16gb ram and 2600mhz than 8gb ram and 3200mhz, but it really depends on whether you will need the extra 8gb of ram.
As for graphics card there is about a $100 difference between gtx 1070 and 1080, if you want that extra bit of performance and fps you can go for the gtx 1080, I would suggest watching some youtube videos on a performance test, here's one comparing i7-7700k and i7-8700k (both using gtx 1070) he tests out a few games (including arma 3)

Oh ok so you saying i should go for something like ryzen 1700,16gb ddr4 3200mhz and a 1080? and what mobo would you choose so i could oc cpu to something like 3.9ghz?i heared x370 mobos are best for oc?but when i looked at some youtube movies and things like that i7 8700 is smashing ryzen in some games like gta V ( almost 40 fps) Hitman (40fps) and bf1 overwatch and cs go for more like 10fps.

Well go for the gtx 1080 if price isnt a matter but the 1070 is decent aswell.




Here are some decent models

Ofcourse vapour.My Psu is Corsair rm550x gold its only 2 months old.as i remember my 4690k at 4.7 and oced gtx 960 was pulling 320W.But vcore was at 1.38V.My budget is around 1500 or around something like that i want good pc for atleast 2 years before i change anything and i want it to look futuristic like rgb stuff and things like that but when it comes to that i want to get good performance.So my main build was
CPU:i7 8700
GPU:gtx 1070TI asus strix
MOBO:Asus ROG strix z370-f
PSU:Corsair rm550x gold
Cooler:Corsair h110igtx 280mm
Drives:Samsunsg 256gb ssd/1tb sata 7.2k rpm
Ram:16gb DDR4 G.SKill 3000MHz RGB
On some sites i was looking at power draw calculators and with that build it was pulling 462W at 100%TDP load and 432W at 90% TDP load so i think my psu will handle that.
IF there will be a need i can buy 650 or 700w PSU if needed cuz i could sell mine.
And i want to add if im making good choice making new pc now? but seems that nothing will supprise me in case of cpu/gpu.Since coffea lake is new and intel new cpus are making in in 2 half of 2018 if im correct.And nvidia will still have a lot of time to make new volta cards since they are not cheap to manufacture.
