Help with a 4k build (Gaming)

Dragon_Claw · Mar 30, 2018

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade my pc to make it run games on 4k at 60 frames, and this is what I can up with :
Monitor : LG 27UD58-B 4k/60hz/27inch
GPU: gtx 1080 ti (zotac mini or MSI armor I don't know that to pick/ if there is a big difference )
CPU: i5 8600K
Motherboard: I'm thinking about ASUS PRIME Z370-A but I don't really know the difference between motherboards and I just want the cheapest one that I can use to OC my CPU and maybe install another 1080ti in the future .
RAM : corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz
SSD: Crucial MX500 1TB but I don't know what to pick in SSD so if you know anything better and has the same price or similar please let me know.
Power supply : NZXT HALE82 750W

I know that the GPU prices are very high due to bit mining but I can't wait any longer because my only vacation in a long time is coming soon and I want a new PC for it .
I only use my PC to play games or to watch youtube so I don't really care about other things like streaming or watching movies ...etc
If you could suggest some better parts or if you find something I pick that doesn't work with this build please let me know . This is my first build that I did alone and I don't have a lot of experience so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I already have the RAM , power supply, CPU cooler and the case from my old PC.
Thanks

Your part choices were pretty good, but there could be some changes. Do you need OS?

SSD is mainly to speed up the operations being processed. For that you will be satisfied by 500GB and for storage I recommend 3TB HDD.

It may be better for you to consider 2k rather than 4K because you're not going to get a solid 60FPS at 4K with a single GPU without dialing the game settings back a bit, how much will depend on the game, just a point for you to be aware of.

King Dranzer · Mar 30, 2018

If you already have a 4K monitor then its fine. But if you still have to purchase one I would recommend going for a 2K monitor instead of 4K.

does it matter which type of 1080ti I get ? because it's hard to find a specific one.

King Dranzer · Mar 30, 2018

I selected MSI DUKE OC GTX1080Ti as it has better cooling solution and is silent compared to other budget options we have. Besides that there is no performance difference. You can choose any model suitable for your budget no problem.
