Are these computer parts compatible/good for gaming?

Solution
What resolution do you intend to play at?

An 8700K + 1070TI is a great gaming rig.

If you intend to OC, I would probably look to a slightly beefier PSU. The G3 is great quality, but you'd be hitting 350W+/- under full load..... add in some OCing headroom and you'd be well outside the efficiency curve IMO.

FWIW, the ML240L is a pretty budget 240mm AIO - so may not be the best option for cooling. A comparably priced air-cooler should rival it

From a gaming standpoint, paying more for 3000MHz is probably a waste. You're not going to notice any substantial differences (99% of the time anyway) between it and a comparable 2400-2666MHz kit.

The system would definitely benefit from an SSD too...

For the money(ish)... I'd look to do...

I would plan on gaming at 14440p probably and do you know if all of these parts would be compatible?
