You could do so much better if you built it yourself...

But if you really want a prebuilt I'd go with this.
https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883287989CVF

Replace the PSU with this.
https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139201&nm_mc=AFC-C8JunctionCA&cm_mmc=AFC-C8JunctionCA-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10592396&PID=3938566&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=afc-PCPartPicker%2C+LLC

Then take your 1060 and put it into the new build, maybe use the rest of your budget to increase the RAM to 16gb and put a SSD (240+gb) in for the OS.

Or if you built it yourself and reused that 1060...

WildCard999 :

Im greatly thinking about it.... I learned a bit from youtube tutorial, but im scared that I would fuck up my computer.

What price would I pay for:

Intel Core i7 8th Gen 8700 (3.20 GHz) ( or a i5 8600 ?)
16 GB DDR4
2 TB HDD 240 GB SSD ( IM still hesiting on this. I think 1TB SSD only is more than enough for me, since I have my laptop for my media files and my desktop would be only for gaming)
Windows 10 Home 64-Bit
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8 GB GDDR5

And, isn't it better to water cool now ?

WildCard999 · May 15, 2018

You'll be well over your budget for those parts and as far as liquid cooling a high end air unit is better then the AIO's. The only reason I used mine was I wanted to try it but for my CPU I could've gone high end air which still would of been much cheaper and quieter then my H100i. As for my GPU with liquid cooling I got a decent price for it and always wanted to try a AIO for my GPU. Also the temps I get for my GPU made overclocking so much better and the unit is very quiet so CPU AIO=no, GPU AIO=yes if budget allows.

gunit2426 · May 15, 2018

Ya I think I will listen yo you and build it on my end with a Ryzen, 16gb ram, etc.

I will use my 1060, but I feel like the fans on it are not working well at all, is it easy to change them ? it's an old 1060 6gb, I bought it 1 year and a half ago

This is very strong build. All are high quality components.

gunit2426 · May 15, 2018

I would also buy a top line motherboard, so it doesn't need a change fofr at least 5 years +

https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16813144030 what about this one for my Ryzen cpu ?

gunit2426 · May 15, 2018

I will go with this one. 159.99$ CAD

https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157774&cm_re=ASRock_X370-_-13-157-774-_-Product

Any thoughts?

WildCard999 · May 15, 2018

Your better off with the X470 for CPU compatibility as the X370 BIOS may not be up to date.

gunit2426 · May 15, 2018

https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813145060&cm_re=x470-_-13-145-060-_-Product

so this one is a good fit ?

I will link you my final build so you can judge it

Make sure that motherboard BIOS is up to date (contact Newegg or whoever your buying it from). Also you need faster RAM, try for 3000/3200mhz as Ryzen performs noticeably better with it.

gunit2426 · May 15, 2018

Don't you need to overclock your cpu to go over 2100 mhz ? I dont think im planing to overclock since Im not familiar with doing so

WildCard999 · May 15, 2018

You do but Nvidia GPU Boost 3.0 auto overclocks the GPU when the extra performance is needed. The only thing you'll want to do at some point is overclock the CPU as Ryzen really shines once overclocked in the 3.7-3.8+ range.

gunit2426 · May 15, 2018

is my power supply good enough to support overclocking ? if so I will def try to overclock!!

I guess I will need to pay around 50-60$ more for 3200mhz.
Part from that, are the pieces good in general ? nothing I should know before I order them ?

thanks a lot

WildCard999 · May 15, 2018

The PSU is excellent but if it saves you money go with the 550W version as even that is plenty for the build.

gunit2426 · May 15, 2018

thanks a lot for your help!

WildCard999 · May 15, 2018

No problem, enjoy the new build!
