Hello!
I am thinking about buying and building my own new PC. I have played on a lot of computers in the past. But always on already finished Computers sold by manufacturers . Currently I am just using my macbook air for studying and normal stuff. The new Desktop PC should be ready for new games, storage room (movies; pictures) and all the normal stuff. On the gaming site i am more interested in RPG and it should be capable of playing high end games in the next 2-3 years. Also I wont play as much as in the past, because I am quite old now and already done with studying. But all my little brothers and a few friends are playing and it is fun to play with them.
So here is my first build: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/gZXJmq
First: Is the cooler enough or should I go with a more expensive cooling system. I don't know much about manually overclocking so i probably wont use it. It would be just more expensive or is it better to go with a liquid cooling system in the longterm? (for example https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/CrDzK8/corsair-cpu-cooler-cw9060025ww)
Second: As a for the graphic card I am considering the asus strix 1070 OC, but what is the difference to the 1070 TI and would it be better buying the asus strix 1080 for 90-100 bucks more? The build is already a bit expensive as i planned to be around 1600. However i thought it is more important to get the best processor and motherboard, because i can switch the graphic card in a few years out or add just another. What are your ideas about it? dunno really what to do and the 1080TI is too expensive for me.
Third: I can build it by my own or let a hardware supplier build it for me for 100. It would be delivered all together and under warranty, which is quite nice. But it would also be more expensive. Do u think the build will be difficult and are there a lot of risk of damaging the hardware components?
Thank you so much for helping me out here!
Kind regards
Felix
