I think you shouldnt spend your money for new pc because you already got a good pc maybe not so good but enough for now. You should buy new computer when yours not being enough.	The Flash Offline Senior Boarder Resigned SSRP Admin Posts: 584 Thanks received: 163 Karma: 35

This is actually a really solid build, I'd rather get a R71700x CPU, but it depends on whether or not you'll be doing stuff that needs a lot of computing power If focused more towards gaming then pick up the 7700k, if not then 1700x	SorIe Offline Marvelous Boarder Posts: 10833 Thanks received: 4290 Karma: 401

Not really a fan of AMD and I think 7700k is enough for my needs.

Don't need i9 lel. It's 3x the price of i7-7700k, so hell no.

I would advise you to wait for the i7-8700 ... they say it would be 20% better than 7700.... would say worth it would be almost the same price	hamad711 Offline Senior Boarder Ex.

Good build but, unless you plan on overclocking, you could stick with the stock cooler to save some money. (if this cpu comes with one). Also, an SSD is only really good for startup times, if you don't mind waiting an extra minute for your pc to turn on, you don't really need one.	collin4lizard Offline Senior Boarder Posts: 328 Thanks received: 64 Karma: 1
