is this the same thing? Is the amd ryzen good?I built the pc myself and it's about 1100 for brand new, so it's not a bad deal, so you are paying 100 dollars in build cost
System Builder - Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7GHz 8-Core, GeForce GTX 1070 8GB, DG-73 ATX Mid Tower - PCPartPicker
Are you sure you don't want to build the PC yourself. If you do message me on here with your location (city, state)
I'll either find a near by Microcenter or Fry's Electronic
If you fukk up you can return the parts
I'd rather you build it yourself because if it's strictly for gaming the i5 8600k or i5 8400k or i7 8700 or 8700k is better (gaming). Intel will also have better resale value in 5 years when you need to upgrade. In 5 years I'll guess the 8700K go for like 150 and the Ryzen 7 2700X maybe 130-150ish?

Give me a strict budget for everything
Gaming Build
Keyboard + Mouse
Monitor (most important)
How much Pc gaming are you planning, what kind of games do you play, other computer activities?
General prices for monitor are for anyone looking to buy a monitor are - Remember Freesync - AMD GPU, Gsync - Nvidia GPU
1080/144hz Freesync - 200 - 260/300
1080/144-180hz Gsync - 300 - 350
1440/144hz - Freesync 300-500 generally (add 30-50 dollars for 32 inch)
1440/144hz - Gsync - 350-700 generally (add 30-50 dollars for 32 inch)
3440/100hz - Freesync - 500-800
3440/100hz/120hz Gsync - 800-1100
2160/60hz Freesync - 270-600 dollars
2160/60hz Gsync - 550-900 (add 100 for 32 inch (only 1 Acer)
2160/144hz Gsync - 2000
1060 6gb/Rx 580 8gb - 1080/144hz
1070 8gb/1080 8gb, rx vega 56 8gb, rx vega 64 8gb - 1440/144hz or 1440/100hz
1080 ti/Titan X/Titan XP - 1440/144hz or 4k/60hz or 4k/144hz

Go Coffee Lake if going Intel.
An M.2 NVME SSD is fast but for day to day use, a regular SSD would suffice.

do i gotta do some update BIOS shyt for Coffee Lake if I get Z370 motherboard??
im liking Coffee Lake i5 tho hell maybe i7 if i can cop one for the low
I never gamed at 60fps 1080p .....should I try that out first before trying 1440p?
Nah, Coffee Lake is 300 series only
Z170/Z270 works for Kaby Lake and Sky Lake
When it comes to resolution, 1080p 60 is cool, that's where I game or sometimes higher 1080 144hz
I can't really speak on 1440P or higher.
no and If you have the money I suggest you go 1440p/144hz g sync (350 (for cheap TN model (worse color wise but if you aren't used to good monitors it won't matter) or VA/IPS for 500-650) - get a 1070/1080 or go rx vega 56/64 - 3440/1440 freeysnc (will cost 500-650)
If you plan on going 1440p gaming expect to spend 850-1200 on gpu/monitor
If you plan on going 1080p gaming expect to spend 500-600 on gpu/monitor
Here's 3440x1440
Here's 2560x1440

yeah im not tryna get caught up in all this high priced graphic card bullshyt. I put the most hours into grand strategy games anyways. Ive played Skyrim, 2K, Outlast, Fallout , etc on a laptop running an A8 APU. Damn sho wasnt 60fps. Im sure I will be more than satisfied at 60fps with the 1070 . Now i just need a monitor. I only played on my TV

It'll cost minimum of 800 dollar for a g sync 3440x1440 monitor and those 2560x1080 (same size) look like trash, gave my dell/alienware to my brother 3 weeks in; just terrible pixels everywhere
For Freesync you can find examples at 500 dollars easily and Rx vega will cost between 450-550
Anybody got Windows 10 for the low? Or know where I can get it from?
