EDIT: Just went back and read that you already have those components. This then can be a guide for other aspiring builders. BTW how are you cooling you CPU?

No talk of RGB. Need to think about that. I'd get that corsair crystal case with the tempered glass.

About GPU, like mentioned earlier it really matters what your monitors resolution and refresh rate are. At your current 1080 / 60hz set up a 1060 will crush. If you step up to 2k then at least 1070 @100+ Hz. Although 1080 are a great deal atm and can really push 2k nicely.


You may not want a 1000w PSU because it is overkill for that system. 750 is plenty.

I'd make sure you set aside at least $500 USD for a monitor. At least 27".

Try to get at least 500gb on your m.2 ssd. The 250 will be filled before you know it.
You prolly don't need 32 gigs of ram. Unless it's RGB of course. I'd look for 16 gig 3000 kit. If you find you need more can always add when prices go down.

Could drop to an i5 if you need the funds to go towards ssd or display.

I'll put some links to components when I get to my battle station.
