I've gotten in the habit of posting new systems here. Love the feedback of this forum!
New system is for 1440p gaming. I already have the case and PSU (I know 850W is overkill).
Also, I'm in Japan, so don't pay attention too much to prices, as they are different here.
I plan to overclock the CPU. I will eventually be going to a custom loop again, but going with a H100i for now. Maybe stick some RGB fans on the rads? I like bling, but that just might be too much?
This will be the first time in a long time I have ventured away from an Asus board. I'm really liking the looks of these Gigabyte boards, and the reviews I have read are good. Open to feedback on this.
I think a 250Gb SSD will be enough for me. I typically only play one game until I'm bored of it, then delete it. So one game on the SSD at a time.
My main concern is the VRMs on the motherboard. I'm having troubles finding detailed information on whether the gaming 7 motherboard's VRMs are better than the one I have chosen, and whether it's worth that much extra money.
I know GPU prices are nuts. Oh well, what's a gamer going to do? The 1070Ti is about $600 U.S. here in Japan.
