Why didn't you get yourself a CRT?
Because I play games that are not Quake.

You should get Serious Sam so we can play some co-op
Is that your pic?
Yeah duh
Damn bro, looks nice. Didn't realize you were such an OG. Might have to take you seriously before we play Quake now. :p
Don't worry I negate it by using a

So here it is, the very final version of my build:

CPU: Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor  (€360.99 @ Amazon Deutschland)
CPU Cooler: CRYORIG H7 49.0 CFM CPU Cooler  (€39.08 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Motherboard: MSI Z270 SLI PLUS ATX LGA1151 Motherboard  (€155.89 @ Amazon Deutschland)

Storage: Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  (€88.86 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  (€52.79 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Video Card: GALAX GeForce GTX 1080 8GB EX OC Video Card
Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case  (€57.48 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Power Supply: Cooler Master 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Case Fan: Cooler Master SickleFlow (Red) 69.7 CFM  120mm Fan  (€15.18 @ Mindfactory)

Total: €1700

Final opinions are always welcome. I've bought everything aside from storage, monitor, RAM and PSU, which I'm doing later tonight. Thanks to anyone who helped. Greatly appreciated.

for SSDs i would only go samsung, sandisk or intel
I might, even though Kingston is a perfect reliable good brand at a considerably lower price.

What's up with RAM being so ridiculously expensive these days?
it is what it is

even ddr3 is still expensive
It was a whole lot cheaper half a year ago unfortunately.
i havent noticed any differences, at least not in the UK

what i did was i bought 1 8gb stick and bought another of the same stick later, they were pretty much the same price about a year apart
Not sure what stores you're buying your RAM at, but this is a very real and global thing.

Spoiler





These are probably the 3 most popular DDR4 RAM pieces. The charts are from Amazon.co.uk. Their prices have shot up and doubled over the course of the past half year. What was 50-60£ last September is now going for 110-130.

Low supplies, high demands
Yeah, I figured something like that. Shame.

Say, when I get my PC, how about a game of Quake?
Sure, don't worry I'll take it easy on you
Thanks! I haven't played in half a year so that's sweet of you.

for a case i would recommend the NZXT source series, they look great and theyre super cheap for mid towers, im not sure about the dimensions but you probably wouldnt have a problem with things like the gpu not fitting in, though you might want to look at some of the variants, iirc they had some distinction between models with front panel usb3 ports and just usb2s

for case fans i would recommend bequiet, dumb name but theyre performant and live up to it

i would get the i7 7700k if what you say is true

i have the same motherboard, its perfectly fine, any real difference wouldnt be seen outside of overclocking and a different chipset
The 7700k is 20€ more expensive, so I might just go for that one (now that I saved quite a bit on the GPU) and then add a Z270 of comparable price?

Such as the MSI Z270 SLI Plus, which is around 25€ more expensive than the Z170-A I was looking at?

https://www.amazon.fr/MSI-Z270-SLI-PLUS-Socket/dp/B01N5LSIYI?SubscriptionId=AKIAJ7T5BOVUVRD2EFYQ&tag=camelcamelc09-21&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B01N5LSIYI
Well, I bought it.

what did you buy
The KFA2 GTX 1080 EXOC and the MSI Z270 SLI Plus. I read all the reviews I could find on it and ran it past several people on Reddit, LTT and Tom's Hardware. Seems like a great motherboard for the price.
honestly you wouldnt have seen a performance difference between the two motherboard (like i said, maybe a tiny bit if you were to overclock) but the z270 is kaby lake compatible out of the box so thats one less thing you have to worry about
Yeah, I know the difference is minimal between the two motherboards. But the compatibility, SLI possibility and extra features are definitely nice. Kaby lake compatibility will also eliminate possible issues and future proof it a fair bit.
not sure youd find any issues apart from trying to use a skylake without updating the bios, and at most if its tic-tac-toe release for this generation of processors is true, you'll only get one newer processor, but i wouldn't bet on it; there will probably be a new socket for a new generation, and intel doesnt have a history of good forward compatibility with its sockets
Still. It's a $15 difference. To me, that's well worth the performance boost (even if small), the guarantee that I won't have issues with skylake compatibility (which is not something I want to deal with as I've never built a PC or done anything with any bios before) and knowing that I'll have the latest generation which will likely last me the longest. Got plenty of recommendations on it and am happy with my purchase in the end. :)

gpus are all the same as long as its not some no name brand, MSI is very reputable

what youre really paying for with a different brand is the heatsink on top of it and the level of customer support, often EVGA cards are more expensive, but they also offer probably the best support youll get if there are ever any problems with it, that said that premium is pretty much just for the peace of mind; your money will only really come into play should the card actually come into any issues

if you say bought a card from KFA2, ASUS or MSI, that isnt to say theyll have the worst customer support known to man (maybe Palit might be bad), but theyll still deal with RMAs and it will generally be a painless procedure providing youre still within warranty

in short the price you pay for one brand over another is the price you pay for support and how pretty the card looks outside of the computer

i wont say its a bad idea to get an EVGA card because their support is some of the best ive seen, but its upto you to decide whether or not that peace of mind is worth it

i just got the cheapest double slot cooler 1060 with 6gb i could find (KFA2), thats just me; ive yet to deal with their support and i hope i wont have to either
So you're saing that KFA2 is good? Because their 1080 Exoc literally just dropped down to 505€ (lowest I've ever seen a GTX 1080 that wasn't an older blower style fan). Should I jump on this now before the price changes again?

I dont get it though his party is now the second largest in parliament when it used to be third, that's not a loss. If the winning administration fail to address the overlying causes that led to new voters for Wilders then they can expect even more seats in the next election.
It's a loss in light of the recent rise in populism, divisionary politics and nationalism (Brexit and Trump). Polls put Wilders at the top of the charts and well on his way to be by far the biggest party while all others basically lost. He might have won some seats, but it's still a pretty clear victory for many others (save for the PvdA). Left Green gained a lot more than Wilders did. I agree with you that it's far from over and done, but this was a pretty clear and inspiring victory for moderates and politics of reason / stability over populism, fear mongering and division.
