Complete Noob: First CPU Building

[D-Aced]

Hi there.

I am completely new to CPU parts and they look more like foreign language to me even after thorough research. However, I have shortlisted a few samples from the internet. Hope to get some advice on which is the best for gaming (e.g. dota 2 at ultra high settings 1080p or cs go at ultra high settings 1080p) with the stated budget. Thanks!

If it's pure gaming, get the 7700k with a 1070.

Get a Samsung 960 Evo m2 instead of slow ADATA

[D-Aced]

If I read you correctly, you'll be using 2 monitors, right? And if you're gaming on just one monitor, 1070 should do the trick, otherwise get 1080. Actually, 1080ti for best performance if within your budget lah.

Alternatively, can wait for Vega or Volta but not sure when those will come.

1070 = GTX 1070
1080TI = GTX 1080TI
VEGA = AMD new lineup of high end GPU that is coming end of July that tout to have GTX 1080 performance.
Volta = NVIDIA new line up of GPU that is coming this year. Most likely to be improved Pascal (current line up of NVIDIA GPU)
SLI = Scalable Link Interface. NVIDIA's multi graphic card tech by combining the performance from 2 same GPU model to produce better graphic performance with the help of a link bridge. May be as cool as it sound, it's not that effective and not a whole lot of games are optimized for it.

[singupingu]

Any way you can mix first and second options?

If cannot, then go with 2nd option for pure gaming. But add another 8gb ram pls.

Take option 2. But replace the CPU/Motherboard/Ram from option 1.

Remove the Asus Z270-A and you're good to go. That's the motherboard for Intel lol

And put back the gtx 1080 also haha

Do post an update showcasing your new build when it's done!

Also regarding the hardware, you might want to choose the brands of your hardware according to your aesthetics and color preferences! Prices may differ though.
