Instead of the 1070 ti go for an 1080 and rest all is good .

To save costs, take a B360 or H370 mobo instead. Use the money saved to pick up a 240 GB SSD at least as that 120 gig one will fill up quickly.

Use the stock cooler instead of the Hyper 212. Stock is good enough for that chip.

Then, if possible go for the 1080. Rest all is good.

When it comes to the motherboard, the z370 i picked only costs 100$ in my country while the chepest b360 costs 90$. Do you still think i should go for a b360?

I am only going to store my OS, stuff like google chrome and launchers like steam, epic games, etc. is 120GB enough for that? The games, pictures, videos and other large files will be stored in the HDD.

b360 is fine and as far as the 120 gb ssd goes yea it will be good but make sure u put the installation directory for games in your steam and origins in your hard disk thus leaving ssd only for applications and windows !

That small a difference means you can stick with the Z370, BUT, if within $10 or $15 extra you can get a 240 gig drive then go for the B360 then. Otherwise, you have to be very careful with the space on the 120 gig drive.

Hey olekristianrudjord, looks like a sweet set up and great recommendations. In case you need it, here is the Data Sheet of the BarraCuda drive.

Let us know if we can answer any questions; we're here to help.

No matter what you choose, we thank you for considering Seagate.

I'd go with the Cryorig m9i instead of the 212 Evo.

Also, an m.2 over a 2.5" SSD will not help with loading times in games(this will only help under multi-tasking). If you insist on going m.2, I'd suggest putting in a bit more money and getting that new Samsung 970 Evo 250gb as it's currently only $109.99
