Phantek p400 eclipse tempered glass
Msi z270 gaming pro carbon
Intel i5 7600k lga1151 cpu
samsung 256gb m.2 ssd
Seagate 2tb hdd 7200rpm

Msi gtx 1080 gaming X 8gb pcie 3.0

M.2 ssd is expensive. SATA is good enough. If you wanna last longer, consider going 500gb instead.

750W is enough for single gpu. Superflower is better if I'm not wrong but that's personal preference.

Corsair Vengeance LPX ram is cheaper if I'm not wrong.

What's your monitor resolution? Reason of choosing gtx 1080? Palit Super Jetstream/zotac amp edition is cheaper FYI.

You missed out cpu cooler. Unlocked chip have no HSF included. Recommend Cryorig H7 for air cooler, or ID Cooling Frostflow 240L or Silverstone TD02 Lite for liquid aio. These have better value per performance ratio.

oh. hmm but is 256gb enough to last ?

i was planning to buy a better monitor next time. so for now im still using a 1980x1080 resolution monitor.

and the the reason of buying 1080 is because just wanted to get a good one so next time dont have to worry about it anymore

ill take note of the brand of the ram! thanks

not sure if the phantek case comes with fans. hmmm

 

[singupingu]

Depends. I don't do much read and write stuff. Most media I watch or listen is through streaming (Spotify, YouTube, Netflix etc) so ~240gb is enough for me. Been using since 2 years ago and still haven't filled up. Partly also because of work so I don't play much games. All my other stuff shove to external hdd lol.

GTX 1070 is enough till ultra wide 1440p monitor. But if your budget can blow a gtx 1080, by all means

The phanteks case come with 2x 120mm fans. One front intake, one rear exhaust. Given your setup you might need a pair more at least. (or if you get liquid aio with 240mm rads then no need get extra fans as the aio come with 2 fans too )

suggest you get a i7 cpu to match your gtx 1080

I think you're still missing the CPU cooler. i5 7600k don't come with intel stock cooler.

 

[eatmyfood]

Does the i7 makes a difference for the 1080gtx ?

Oh cpu cooler , so I should install another 2 fans ?

 

[undead102]

You need to buy an aftermarket cpu cooler as unlock K cpu does not include the stock intel heatsink cooler fan. The stock heat sink fan isn't capable of cooling down the unlock K cpu when overclocking

use a cheaper power supply

Something like this;

Air cooling:
Cryorig H7
http://www.lazada.sg/cryorig-h7-cpu-cooler-8613196.html

Aio watercooling:
ID-Cooling Frostflow 240L CPU AIO
http://www.lazada.sg/id-cooling-frostflow-240l-cpu-aio-3-optionswhite-led-10115705.html

Just some example, there are many other around too. See what you like
But you will need one as i5 7600k do not come with Intel stock cooler.
