Hey guys.
I am going to sell my current pc and am going to get a new one.
The main games i play arma 3,pubg,csgo,arma 2.
And ofcourse i plan on being able to run games in the future without lagging.

Here are the specs of the computer i am thinking of buying.

CPU @ Intel Core i7 Kabylake 7700 Quad 4.2GHz (Turbo), 8 MB cache

MOTHERBOARD @ MSI Z270 Tomahawk - Intel Z270 chipset, 4x DDR4, S1151

RAM @ 16GB Dual DDR4 2666Mhz, Corsair Vengeance,

HDD @ 250GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD

GPU @ Geforce GTX 1070 8GB Armor 1x DVI, 1x HDMI, 3x DP

Is this good enough?

That should work nicely. You should even be able to keep high frame rates with even more demanding games even at 1440p.

However, as dextermat pointed out, waiting for the...

Hi, personally I would go for coffee lake, wait a bit to get better 370 motherboards.
kaby lake is "obsolete" because coffee lake has more core and a bit better speeds. for about same prices.
Don't get me wrong you build is good but kaby lake depreciate faster because of predecessor.

However, as dextermat pointed out, waiting for the availability of Coffee Lake to improve may be a good idea if you feel you can. Switching would only require a different motherboard, a 3xx series, which the only ones available right now are the Z370 series. I wouldn't say it was faster really, but it does offer more cores for similar coin. I'd almost say look at AMD now too, but with most of what you play not really using multiple threads... Intel still does beat out AMD, although the lead is much smaller now, perhaps even negligible without benchmarking.
