Hello all,
Im looking for some new build recommendations as I only do my due research on a rebuild about every 3-4yrs when needed. I want to build a new PC and get a new monitor to step up to 1440p, or more (I would like the monitor to last me for multiple future builds). I have no real confirmed budget, as I much prefer bang for buck, at whatever level that may be. At the minute I am looking at the following, although I'm second guessing myself on whether to go Z370 or x299. Aiming for £1000-£1500 excluding monitor
CPU: i7- 8700k
Motherboard: ASrock Z370 Extreme4
RAM: 2x8Gb (3200MHz)
GPU: Minimum GTX1070ti
Storage: Samung 970 Evo NVMe 500Gb (plus other SATA SSD storage and a reused HDD)
Cooler: I hgave a Cosair H100 in old PC that could be reused, otherwise looking at the NZXT Kraken X52
Case: (needs to have white): eyeing up Fractal Meshify or Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic.
Monitor: Undecided but taking recommendations
Any comments/ recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Should I wait a couple of months to see if certain components drop substantially? For example, GPU and CPU
Current spec is...
CPU: AMD FX6100
Motherboard: 990FX Sabertooth
GPU: GTX560ti
RAM: 2x4Gb (1600Mhz)
Storage: 2x 500Gb HDD and a 1.5TB HDD
