Looking to build a well performing PC ($700-1000 range)

[antonverheyen]

Hello, community!
I'd like to start by thanking you for visiting my question, any help or comments are greatly appreciated.
My goal is to find the parts required to build a pretty good gaming desktop within my price range. Anything from the value difference of 1070 to the 1080 and whatnot. GPU & CPU, ram, storage, motherboards, casings, etc. Please include the prices and if you can where I can buy these products in your answer.(Its fine if that's too much work)
Thanks in advance!
-Anton

gtx 1070 would be possible if you want it, but sacrifices would have to be made on other parts.

Also a pirated Windows, low quality ssd with barely any space, 8gb of ram... because that surely wont bottleneck the "much better gaming CPU".

You should watch your mouth. You're a fool who has no idea what he is talking about.

I'm no pirate. I worked for over a decade building Windows (last version I contributed directly to was Vista). He asked about the PC. His OS is his business. 8gb is plenty unless you're incapable of closing chrome while you game.

Your Ryzen selection has relatively poor IPC and for a gaming only PC is not the best advice.

Now i know why Vista was so bad.
Funny you say Ryzens ipc is bad though since it's near same to coffee lake. So your essentially saying that your choice of cpu was bad?

Now you're just making junk up. The IPC of the Ryzen is not as good as even the previous several gens of Intel.
How about you call me some more names? I like it when those I don't respect lose all control.
