Is this setup good for gaming? Will you change anything?

[rokyo87]

Hello.

I am buying a new PC, primarily for gaming, secondary for watching movies, browsing, etc. I am not a programmer, I don't do video editing, streaming or anything similar and manyCPUcores-demanding... I want to play all the AAA games with decent graphic, I want for my new PC to last without any upgrades for at least 2 - 3 years and I want for my PC to be upgradeable after then. My budget is around 1500€ and with my current configuration I am at a maximum already (CPU fan still missing):

Core i7-7700K 4,2 GHz (Kaby Lake) Sockel 1151 - boxed
GeForce GTX 1060 Aorus Xtreme 6G, 6144 MB GDDR5
STRIX Z270E Gaming, Intel Z270 Mainboard, RoG - Sockel 1151
Z11 Neo Midi Tower - schwarz
RMX Series RMX750 Netzteil - 750 Watt
850 EVO Series 2,5 Zoll SSD, SATA 6G - 500 GB
Vengeance LPX Series schwarz, DDR4-3000, CL15 - 16 GB Dual Kit

I was flirting with GTX1070 (Ti) and GTX1080 graphic cards but the price in EU is too much of a difference (at least 150€ more).

Do you have any suggestions for changes in current configuration?

Thank you.

Rok

Will you be playing at 1080p or higher resolution? The 1060 6GB will run games fine at 1080 but if want to go higher resolution, upgrade the GPU and go with an i5-7600K.

I bought and received 8600K 3 days ago but did not assemble PC together yet then I saw AnandTech article, I returned 8600K and now waiting to buy 8700.

Thank you for all of your answers. I decided I will buy GTX 1070 Ti graphic card and Core i7-8700K 3,7 GHz (Coffee Lake) Sockel 1151 - boxed CPU. I can't decide which GTX 1070 Ti to buy. Is Asus reliable manufacturer for graphic cards? Which one of these would you choose?

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Gaming 8G, 8192 MB GDDR5
ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Advanced OC, 8GB GDDR5, PCI-E 3.0, ROG-STRIX-GTX1070TI-A8G-GAMING
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 Ti AMP! Extreme Edition, 8192 MB GDDR5
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Gaming OC 8G, 8GB, GV-N107TGAMING OC-8GD
[https://www.caseking.de/en/asus-geforce-gtx-1070-ti-strix-8g-gaming-8192-mb-gddr5-gcas-236.html] ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 Ti STRIX 8G Gaming, 8192 MB GDDR5[/url]


What is the difference between those GPU's except price?

Thank you.

Rok

 

[WildCard999]

Between those I'd probably get the Zotac or Asus but its really personal preference as the difference between them is pretty minor.

 

[rokyo87]

OK, I decided I will buy something like that:

Core i5-8600K 3,6 GHz (Coffee Lake) Sockel 1151 - boxed
GeForce GTX 1080 Aorus Xtreme 8G, 8192 MB GDDR5X
STRIX Z370-F Gaming, Intel Z370 Mainboard, RoG - Sockel 1151
RipJaws V Series schwarz, DDR4-3000, CL15 - 16 GB Dual-Kit
RMX Series RMX650 Netzteil - 650 Watt
PM961 NVMe SSD, PCIe M.2 Typ 2280, bulk - 256 GB
Z11 Neo Midi Tower - schwarz
Noctua NH-D14 CPU-Kühler - 140/120mm

Is this a good price/performance setup? Would you change anything?

Thank you.

You could make some different choices,maybe you already got these,which are good but les expensive can be gotten without sacrificing quality. The psu for instance can be cheaper and still very good,ram as well. For he ssd would i pick the Samsung 960 EVO.
