Current Build :
AMD FX 8320
Hyper 212 Cooler
GTX 960
8GB RAM (GSkill Ripjaws I think)
MSI 970A-G46 Mobo
Seasonic 650W PSU (Bronze I think)
Fractal Design R4 Case
1TB HDD WD
500GB HDD WD


Here's what I was working on building, but not sure if improvements can be made to the list.

Budget is $2K USD.
Zipcode is 40229
I want to be able to run Overwatch, and Fortnite at 144+ Fps easily. (Low settings, doesnt matter)
Other than those two games, I just play random shit.

1800x is the least cost effective ryzen 7 go for the 1700 or 1700x will oc just as well.

Will run overwatch 144 FPS on highest settings

re-use ur case, psu, hdd's

you wouldnt want ryzen if you plan on achieving 144+ and not dipping below it

Again this will run well over 144 FPS on ultra settings for overwatch

Same for fortnite, that game is optimized pretty damn well so you can play at high settings and achieve maximum fps unlike pubg

As Secksii said, re-use case, psu, hdd's.

/e do you need monitor?

I'm probably going to go with this, but get a 1070 instead and upgrade it later down the road. A 1070 should get me 144fps right?

Not sure where Fortnite stands on fps, but I can get 144 on Overwatch with my 1060. The i7 is also overkill if you only plan on gaming. i5 will have same clock speeds, just no multi-threading (games don't generally utilize more than 4 cores anyways).

Kind of depends on the monitor.
