Building a PC?
I am building a gaming PC with a budget of $1,900! I am new to PC gaming and this will be my first build. I decided not to include a headset and keyboard etc as I already have one at home. Here is my build, leave me any tips! I hope to be able to run high end games with this build! Thanks!

LG Electronics UM57 25UM57 25-Inch Screen LED-lit Monitor

Phanteks Enthoo Pro Full Tower Chassis with Window Cases PH-ES614P_BK

Asus 24x DVD-RW Serial-ATA Internal OEM Optical Drive DRW-24B1ST (Black)

Intel Boxed Core I7-6700K 4.00 GHz 8M Processor Cache 4 LGA 1151 BX80662I76700K

Corsair Hydro Series High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler H60

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO LGA1151 DDR4 M.2 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 Type A Type C Intel Z170 ATX Motherboard

G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Intel Z170/X99 Desktop Memory F4-2400C15D-16GVR

get a better ssd
240+g intel, samsung, crucial or mushkin

on a high end build go with a 80+ gold psu or better

get a gtx 1080 with non reference/founders cooler
Dont necessarily need gold

With that budget you would be stoopid if you go for the old gen graphics card, buy a GTX1070

Ugh, you bloody Americans and your annoyingly good economy. I'm almost tempted to grey-import a 1080. Depending on taxes, it may be a lot cheaper than buying from the locals. I mean, just look at the price on this - and that's the cheapest one I could find, too.

Ok so hear is my suggestions.
For Gpu get a Gtx 1080 pared with 144hz 1440p Gsync monitor and then pick out your other parts

Ok, this was suggested by Hamzer before, can anyone tell me if there is anything that I should change here???? http://pcpartpicker.com/list/krbd6X

That would be a fine build for gaming at ultra high definition at this very moment, but unless you have the right monitor to take advantage of that. The hardware listed is complete overkill, and it is not necessarily ideal for video editing. You would seem to be splurging in all the wrong places as far as that is concerned.

Your inclusion of the optical drive tells me that you are probably expending a bit more time and resources into video editing then your typical youtuber. Maybe I am wrong, but if that passing observation on my part is correct. Then ideally you would probably be better served by having more system memory, and a ultra high definition display. The former to speed up the work, and the later to offer you more real estate in which to work.

I think you probably need to make your priorities a bit clearer. Which is more important to you. Making videos or playing games. Anyway a 1080 is complete overkill unless you are stepping up to a higher resolution, and frankly if you are holding off on a purchase for a couple months. You might well want to wait a bit longer then that. That would be a particularly bad time to make a purchase for a few major reasons.

The first reason is that the cpu market will start to become more competitive. That could mean better performance and better prices. So you might very well get more bang for your buck, and you might very well end up going with AMD as opposed to intel. It would be kind of a bad idea to lock yourself in if the market goes in the opposite direction.

The second reason would also be AMD related in the form of their Vega graphic cards which are supposed to use vastly better memory. The next Pascal cards may well do the same. So you might end up with a serious case of buyers remorse if you buy todays hotness only to have it utterly eclipsed a mere month later.

Which brings me to my third point. The entire future proofing angle. While the 1080 is no doubt a fine graphics card. Especially compared to what came before. It is still very much a stop gap as far as the market it concerned. The memory it is using is only going to be used for a very short period of time. It is going to supplanted in mere months. Nvidia is not even using it on its own very high end cards. On top of that the cards are still not able to give consumers what they wanted. Which was sixty frames per second on ultra at ultra high definition. That might not be an issue to you right now, but a couple years from now, and these cards are in no way cheap.

I guess what I am saying is really nail down your priorities, and wait to see what the market is going to be like in a couple months. It may well be the case that the plans you are making today may end up not holding up when confronted with major changes. What makes sense today might make no sense then.

Wow, that was a lot to take in haha. I understand what you mean by 'nailing down on my priorities'. However, I have never built a 'gaming' pc before so this will be my first time, meaning I don't have a huge understanding about gaming pc's in general. I agree with monitor overkill. My plan right now is that I will go with the part list (the first one I posted) and then upgrade as I go along... However, if you want to help me even more that would be appreciated via making changes upon this pc build that Hamzer suggested for me to suit my needs. The PC should be focused on gaming, because I will want to record these high end games then edit them (youtube commentary). I use Adobe Premier, which I have already bought. Idk if this answered the specifics you were looking for? Please message back :)

Honestly my best advice would have to be dropping the hard drive from your build. Simply put it is all vice and no virtue. Not only will it hurt your systems performance, because it is obviously a lot slower then solid state memory, but it is going to generate extra heat, extra noise, and they are frankly enough very unreliable. Your optical drive alone makes it largely redundant. Not to mention thumb drives are relatively cheap, and can already store quite a lot.

The money you save would be better spent on a bigger solid state drive. Which are faster, put out no noise pollution, and generate nowhere near the heat. I suspect you are holding onto the idea that you will need all that space for game storage, but that is not really how it works out in this market. They make sense for gaming consoles, because those devices suffer from some very severe bottlenecks.

Those problems do not apply here though. Typically we delete old games as we go here. Since it hardly takes any time at all for us to download them again. Provided we ever end up going back. The reality being that we have access to so many cheap games that we rarely feel the need to go back, and play a game we have already beaten. We just move right on to the next game.

That said if for whatever reason you feel the pressing need for more storage. Then you always have the option to add in more solid state drives. You can literally daisy chain them. So like I said you should probably move past the entire notion of a hard drive. Besides you do not want to run games from a hard drive anyway, because they cause lag and longer load times. Definitely not ideal for streaming or video capturing.

I agree with Dodece, although I would add that storage space isn't really a problem on SSD anymore. 1TB+ SSDs are quite affordable, even top-spec models like SamSung's 850 EVO.

They're reliable, too. About three years ago I re-built the storage system in my current PC, fitting 2X 500GB HDDs and a cheap 100GB SSD for the OS. I remember worrying all through the first month about the SSD blowing and taking my install with it. April 2016 finally saw a drive failure - one of the HDDs suffered an electrical gremlin and both needed to be reconfigured. The SSD has never so much as sneezed.

Wow, thanks guys. Saved me a couple bucks there. I appreciate it!

Can I get a better priced motherboard for the same quality, the one I have in my cart is the ASUS Maximus VIII Hero and it is $390... Any cheaper high quality ones?
