Finally upgrading 2018

[Steve Van der Velde]

Hello guys. Happy New Year!!!

Just sold some of my profits in cryptocurrency and finally get to upgrade my gaming pc.
Allready got a msi gtx 1080 and corsair rm1000 power supply. 2TB
HDD and 250gb samsung SSD. This is what i am thinking of ordering. Can you please help me and look if this looks allright. Thanks a bunch.
I use my pc for gaming and some youtube.

Intel Core i5 8600K

MSI Z370 GAMING PRO CARBON AC

Corsair Hydro Series H110i Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

Corsair Vengeance ddr4 3200mhz LED Red

Samsung 850 EVO Series - Solid state drive 250gb. Got the same in my pc allready.

Oh and als looking for a good 27inch g-sync monitor to top it off

Im planning tot overclock the cpu.

Thanks

Looks good so far, but I would suggest the more expensive 8700k if you can afford it. Depending on what kind of youtube / content creation stuff you do, the extra cores can really help.

Fastamdman. Thanks bro. I looked into the both of them (i7 8700k VS i5 8600k) but i just game. And watch some YouTube.
And the 8600k is alot cheaper and performs nearly as well as the 8700k in games. I got the benq 27inch 144hz 1080p monitor and want to upgrade that one too in the future to a g-sync 144hz 1440p 27incher. So i hope the 8600k will do

The 8600k will do just fine, I misunderstood and thought you did content creation. Not just watching youtube haha. A potato could watch youtube =P. The big thing I don't see though, is a video card. What gpu do you plan on using?

The msi gtx 1080! That is the main reason for the upgrade. I bought this card like 3 months ago and the gpu is bottlenecking my current system

Ah my bad, I missed that part when I re-read it the second time. I've been up for like 20 hours now lol. What is your current system? The system you have spec'd out looks great. Just curious, why the h110 versus the h115 or the nzxt kraken x62? I have a hard on for the x62....just saying.

 

[Steve Van der Velde]

Oh my God. That thing looks awesome. And it comes better out of in the reviews. Changing that one. nzxt kraken x62 it is. Great! !!
My current system is :

Z87-g45 motherboard.
I7 4771 processor.
16gb ddr3 corsair vengeance 2400mhz
Gtx1080 twin frozer
2tb hdd
250 ssd
Corsair rm1000

Glad I've converted you over to the dark side The kraken x62 is on my wish list, I have the older version currently. If you have the spare change, some nice fans for it would help as well.
