[Ni101]

would this build be good enough
i might overclock it later
any ideas or opinions

didnt get the parts yet but for some personals reasons i might get
ga-z170x 3
980ti windforce or g1
would those two still do the job like the original build?

thanks in advance.

Nice build but go with the GTX 1070 since its faster then the 980 ti. Also I would opt for the 2TB Seagate HDD (or 1TB WD for now & add a bigger drive in addition later on) and get a better 240gb SSD.

seems legit enough
reviews does say that 1070 is better than 980ti and titan X
i would for overclocking later , would 1070 do the job (idk never tried OC beside 980ti Xtreme got the looks )

is seagate better than WD black or its the price XD ?

do you think i should go for a better monitor ? or maybe a better headset ? (i usually use sounds mods and i want all my mods to shine in the headset )

Since you are overclocking that's why I chose the EVGA GTX 1070 FTW, it should overclock higher then the other EVGA models but its chip-dependent so I can't tell you how far it will go but techpowerup got it fairly high.

"Maximum overclock of our sample is 2370 MHz on the memory (18% overclock) and +130 MHz to the GPU's base clock, which increases maximum Boost from 1974 MHz to 2088 MHz (6% overclock)."

For storage I prefer WD Black > WD Blue > Seagate but I was trying to meet your budget and give you a bigger SSD not only for the OS but also for a game like BF4 which has longer loading screens.

The monitor is a good choice especially for the GTX 1070.

I'm no audiophile but the HyperX Cloud II might be a better choice since it has simulated 7.1 surround which I've tried before, it sounds pretty good. The only downside is there is no software by HyperX to adjust it better, I think Logitech does have that software.

after i read the reviews, EVGA GTX 1070 FTW is great indeed

added the WD Black 2TB and it fit the budget ^^

hyperX cloud II does look good and better but it will break the budget so i will stick with logitech

i am thinking the mobo because i think ga-z170x gaming 5 would be a waste, idk why i feel like that
what do you think?

i cant thank you enough, Thank you very much, i was worried about the gpu and it was causing me some troubles and gtx 1070 did help me alot , thanks again.

gigabyte geforce gtx 1070 g1 gaming
EVGA GTX 1070 SC

i found those two locally and alot cheaper than the shipping
would they still do the job like EVGA FTW??

Gigabyte GPU's are good and the cooling is excellent.

For the MB IDK much about Gigabyte MB's, I would refer to the "best of" TH list for MB's. It looks like the Z170-HD3 might be a good option for a overclocking MB.

i will stick with z170x then 3 or 5 wouldn't matter i guess
and g1 gaming

the final build (i hope)

its weird that the wattage got down to 395 it was 475w with the 980ti and EVGA
what happened o.o??

if its true should i get another psu , 550w form the same series or 450, because 650 would be a waste of power ?
i would still have plenty of juice to overclock (i think 550 is better)
or stay with 650 to be safe for the future?

EDIT: forgot to say "thank you" again you really helped me alot , thank you

 

[WildCard999]

550W or 650W from that same series would be fine, I would not go under 500W. I will say the EVGA overclocked GTX 980 ti's can draw quite a bit of power that's why you see a noticeable difference in power usage but the 1070's are much faster.

No problem, happy to help.
