Hi guys,

I'll probably buy a new PC in a cuple of days and i still dont know which i should take. Money isnt really a problem, but i just do not know if it is worth it.
I'll be playing on one 1080P monitor.

First option:
Asus Z170 pro gaming
Corsair hydro h105 240mm
Seasonic G650 Gold
Samsung evo850 250gb
Western Digital 1tb blue
8x2 DDR4 2133 HyperX Fury (16gb total)
Cooler master CM 690 III
Intel core I7 6700K*
Nvidia GTX1080 G1*

total = 7800 NIS (2000USD)

Second option:
Asus Z170 pro gaming
Corsair hydro h105 240mm
Seasonic G650 Gold
Samsung evo850 250gb
Western Digital 1tb blue
8x2 DDR4 2133 HyperX Fury (16gb total)
Cooler master CM 690 III
Intel core I7 6700K*
Nvidia GTX1070 Strix*

total = 6800NIS (1700USD)


Third option:
Asus Z170 pro gaming
Corsair hydro h105 240mm
Seasonic G650 Gold
Samsung evo850 250gb
Western Digital 1tb blue
8x2 DDR4 2133 HyperX Fury (16gb total)
Cooler master CM 690 III
Intel core I5*6600K*
Nvidia GTX1070 Strix*

total = 6300NIS (1600USD)

now i know that the GTX1080 is more for 4K screen and so, but wont it be wise to take the king and not having to worry about upgrades for years?

I would go for the middle one with thr 6700k and GTX 1070. It will last you for a long time. In 4-5 years when there are faster video cards, you can just upgrade to whatever suits your needs at that time. You might even have to do that with a GTX 1080 as well. If there is one component that generally gets upgraded often with gamers, it is the video card.

It just comes down to your gaming requirements. Only you can decide what works for your budget and needs.

All of those are very nice and all are overkill at 1080p. 4k is another matter...
