Hello,this will be my new rig for 2018.

I recently upgraded my board,processor and ram to 7th gen but now i want 8th gen.

I havent noticed much of improvement but all the work SSD does,the only hardware that i would pay even more for more space.Best purchase every penny was SSD.Even M.2's should be pretty damn fast,like 20% improvement? idk.

Well,this is how my system will look but my parts chosen are too expensive on somethings,like monitor and the PSU,i lowered everything and searched for the cheapest product i want in every store in my country (Santiago,Chile),still total $ is little less than half past.

What would you reduce and why? Explain

Processor: : Intel® CPU Core i5-8400

Motherboard : GIGABYTE Z370 AORUS ULTRA GAMING

RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB)

PSU: IN WIN Classic C750W 80 PLUS Platinum, FULL Modular

Monitor: LG 27" 27UD59-W 4K UHD 3840x2160, HDMi, DP

SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250Gb

Optic driver : LG Bluray

Graphics card: MSI NVIDIA GTX 1060 3GB

Case: IN WIN GRone Black Full Tower

Mouse: Corsair Harpoon RGB 6000 DPI

Keyboard : Razer Ornata Chroma,Destiny edition

Mousepad: Turtle beach traction medium

CPU Cooler: No more money for that lol.I dont think is that important for the moment because i dont like overclocking.

NOTE:I already have Seagate 1.5TB HDD 7200RPM

Soundblaster Creative AUDIGY RX 24 Bits 7.1 Sound card

Edifier M3350 5.1 Speakers

My budget is about $1530 in U.S Dollars.In Chilean Pesos is about $1.000.000

Im going to use my PC for overall things,Movies,Music,Mostly gaming,no editing or rendering stuff,web searching,etc...

Im an audiophile and need the best resolution as possible in monitors,like 4K.In the future im going to SLI but idk is too expensive.I dont want to game in 4K because is hell expensive and my pocket doesnt allow it yet by far,i mostly interested in overall use in 4K except for editing/rendering,just movies,websites,and youtube videos.

I currently saving some money for a Nintendo Switch and a pair of headphones Bose QC 25.I really want both things.

Depending on what particular 7th Gen CPU you currently have, you probably won't get a major improvement in performance for most games by moving to 8th gen. I wouldn't recommend planning for SLI in the future, and you can't SLI a 1060 regardless. I'd recommend getting a 6GB 1060 if at all possible. No point getting a Z370 mobo with a locked CPU, the cheaper chipsets for coffee lake should be out in 2018.

I know my budget is little tight but,i can get a 1070 in the future without SLI honestly.And 3gb i think is more than enough.I play overwatch and hots,my current video card which is NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti 4GB,only consumes 1.3gb/4gb VRAM.3% utilization,so i never trusted about how important is VRAM.Maybe in video editing/rendering programs.Even in Extreme settings i couldnt pass the 1.3gb.In my country i couldnt find the O.C version of the processor,is a new processor and theres only one shop that sells it atm.In the upcoming months i will be able to see more variety.So that processor is just temporal.And the gap between i7 8700 is too much.

And that's it i think.

I just need help with my current build,because it currently exceeds $477.000 chilean pesos.
