Hi, what are the main uses of this PC.

Kabylake 7700K isnt much more neither is a Z270 board.

The PSU is a bit weak.

Also AMD Ryzen+X370 offers some good bang per buck.

Hi,
The main uses are gaming and some video work. I think I'm happy with the specs and not too worried about price, I'm mainly wondering if the parts would fit and it is relatively upgradable? I'm particularly concerned about the gpu in the case as there isn't much info on the gpu's product page.

Thanks, I've added the 7700k and a z270.
What size psu should I go for?

It works but,

1) paste comes with coolers.

2) gfx card is expensive for a GTX1080

3) WD black not worth the extra as the SSD will be running the OS etc I take it.

4) PSU is sub par, need more wattage if you wanted a second GFX card in SLI.


For example,

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x WD Blue 1TB 7200rpm SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache HDD - OEM (WD10EZEX)= £43.99
• 1 x Samsung 960 EVO Polaris 250GB M.2 2280 PCI-e 3.0 x4 NVMe Solid State Drive= £128.99
• 1 x Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz (Kaby Lake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail= £329.99
• 1 x Phanteks Eclipse P400S Glass Midi Tower Case - Noise Dampened Black= £79.99
• 1 x Gigabyte GA-Z270X-Ultra Gaming Intel Z270 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £149.99
• 1 x Super Flower Leadex II 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply - Black= £99.95
• 1 x Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 D5X WindForce 3x 8192MB GDDR5X PCI-Express Graphics Card (GV-N1080D5X-8GD)= £499.99
• 1 x Alpenföhn Matterhorn Black CPU Cooler= £41.99
• 1 x Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Red (CMK16GX4M2B3200= £149.99

Total: £1,524.87
(includes shipping: £0.00)





Then of course there is the new AMD Ryzen CPUs which have lots of cores and are competitive against Intels X99 platform especially for mulitcore work.
