I would get a better monitor than an inexpensive 1080p monitor if your going to go all in

Asus PG 278QR 27" 1440P 165 HZ GSync goes for $600. Also 1200 Watts for the PSU is overkill. PSUs have there best efficiency at 50% load. I would defintelly go 650W to 750W.

thats the thing im not planing on paying that much for a monitor they just seem way too expensive to me, i was thinking 300 and less for a monitor, also the PSU was a gift so i kept it.

Your monitor is your window to your gaming world. It can have a very big effect on the experience. Seems a shame to get a $700 or more GPU and hook it to a less than $200 monitor. I belive its even 60 Hz.

Well what would you suggest for like 27 inches in size with the same aspect ratio as 1920 by 1080(what I’m using it now basically)

Personally i wouldn't bother with anything less than a 1440p monitor if you're going with a 1080 ti gpu.

Why are you getting a GTX 1080ti if you only want to display a 1080p resolution. Especially if its 60 Hz . It can only display 60 FPS. Just a suggestion however.

SuperNOVA P2 1200W 80+ Platinum is to overkill. Heck a i7 8700k/1080ti combo barely uses 500watts so get like a 500-650w and spend the savings on a 144hz monitor.

EDIT:I didn't read that you got it as a gift. But if your getting a 1080ti at least get a 144hz panel. Downgrade to a 1070ti and get a 144hz? Also you can get a W10 Pro key for like $12 online so you don't really need to pay the $100+ for it.

As others have stated the PSU is overkill & there is no need for 32gb ram if this is a gaming system (16gb is more than enough).
Look at dropping to a 1060 6gb or preferably a 1070 if you plan on gaming at 1080p & put the extra cash towards a better monitor.

[Monk]

Got to say the whole build seems excessive for gaming, especially at 1080p 60Hz.

You won't need 32GB of RAM, the pro nvme is a huge waste of money over the evo unless you use it as a scrub drive for serious editing.
There is no need for windows 10 Pro over home for 99.99% of users and a psu that costs over 300 bucks is a really strange gift lol.

By dropping down to 16GB if ram, swapping out the 1TB 970 Pro nvme for an 1TB 860 evo sata3 (the speed difference isn't really noticeable for the price) and swapping the 2700x for a 2700 and overclocking it yourself, you should easily free up a bunch of the funds for a much better monitor.

it not even draws 400W.

Would have gone with an i7-8700K and Z370 motherboard over a Ryzen 7 2700X. As well as a 1440p 144Hz display instead of 1080p 75Hz. I would as well opt for a mid size tower instead of an oversized full one. None the less a good build though, I'm sure it runs well.

This build is supposed to last me a LONG time hopefully, also any suggestions for a monitor?

Get a monitor that is at least 1440p @ 144Hz or you're just wasting a perfectly good experience.

You should have got a 250GB M.2 for the OS because loading everything onto one SSD will reduce system performance a tiny bit because the drive will always be in heavier usage. Get a 1 TB SATA SSD from Samsung as you don't need an M.2 as game storage either.

That PSU is way too high for a single GPU configuration, it's better used on builds that use CFX/SLI. While it's not going to make a big difference, you actually have less power efficiency the farther away your power usage is from 50% load on the PSU. Also not cost efficient at all.

There's a lot of overkill in some areas, so you'd be wasting money, dude. Had you done more research, you would have had a better budget for a good monitor, a better quality headset, and G.Skill FlareX memory which is optimized for Ryzen. (The RAM you're using is not optimized for Ryzen which in an overkill rig is kind of important)
