It is cheaper and will perform far better in gaming.

Will taking the z370 E mobo be any better ?

other than tht thx a lot dude.

@OP

Very solid build. Can tell you did your homework. Assuming you're at 1440p or less for your monitor, that will make an amazing system.

dinogaming4ever · Jun 12, 2018

jimthenagual :

haha thx. But im at a dilemma whether to get the 1080 or stick o the 1070.im probably never gonna above 1440p.

what r ur thoughts?

jimthenagual · Jun 12, 2018

If you will stay at 60Hz 1440p or lower, the 1070 is the perfect card. Maybe keep an eye out for a 1070Ti. But if you think you'll ever want higher refresh rates or resolution, it'll struggle.

PuperHacker · Jun 13, 2018

Since for that price you can get a gtx1080, why get the 1070. It is just more performance.

g-unit1111 · Jun 13, 2018

That looks like a solid build. The only things I would change would be maybe to swap the H100i for an H115i or a Kraken X62. And then I might suggest swapping the primary boot drive for a 970 Evo M2 but that's about it really.

logainofhades · Jun 13, 2018

That 1070 is overpriced. I also feel you can do better, for that kind of money.

logainofhades :

I would say you don't need the 750w PSU, 600w is more than enough. Also the 1080 Mini might be a bit noisy, that cooler is not capable of dissipating heat well. Get a 1080 Strix if you can find one at decent price. If you overclock get either the Asrock X470 Gaming K4.

logainofhades · Jun 14, 2018

The 750w is $1 cheaper than the 650w Seasonic. There is no justifiable reason to not go with the 750w.
