Recommend PC build

[Ahkunkun]

Hi everyone, I'm planning to build my own gaming PC for the first time and would like to get help from you guys.

My budget is around $1500 to $1700.

I'm looking at a GTX 1070 build and would like to get all parts from PC Themes.

I would need Wi-Fi in-built as well.

No monitor/mouse/keyboard or any other peripherals required, just PC itself.

Thanks

Any build theme (will try to adhere to it)? Overclocking? What kind of games/productivity work will you be running?

Hi there, looking at a white and black theme, not doing overclocking, mainly aiming to game on current/upcoming AAA titles at 1080p.

Thanks singupingu for the recommendation!

A little expensive. This specs with cheaper hardware about 1.4k. But aesthetic wise is better. Hope you will like your new rig

Just to clarify, I saw you recommend a different mobo (usually you recommend the Asus one).

1. Is there any difference ah? For non OC i know don't need Z but betweeh B and H model and the different numbers very confusing

2. Also I remember last time (maybe 2-3 years ago) most people recommend Asrock as being value for money but now not so much?

3. For 1080p gaming, is GTX 1080 a overkill?

This build got budget for a themed build. So I chose one neutral all black mobo but cheap at the same time. Gigabyte is one of the big 3 mobo brand.

Usually recommend that asus board because it's the most budget one with M.2 slot for ssd in the future.

Asrock is value for money, but apparently after 3 years, asrock tends to have a higher chance of breaking down. So I stick to asus, Msi and gigabyte.

GTX 1070 is the most I would go for 1080p 60hz. GTX 1080 is more cater to 1440p and above. Using on a 1080p only for benchmarking purpose or extensive 4k rendering only but it's a very big budget to swallow. For gaming, usually would recommend gtx 1060, rx 470 and rx 480. If got budget, go for gtx 1070. Plus if you got budget for a gtx 1080, I don't think one will have a normal 1080p monitor. Likely to me ultra wide high hz 1080p with gsync. Haha
