You could get a chop off a few dollars by switch the ram brand and removing DVD drive, unless you need

Anyone have any thoughts on this? Seems about right.

lmk if you dont do MIR

I do MIR

I'm pretty split. I like bits and pieces from everyone...

Is the Asus Strix at a really good price right now? I'm looking to buy some parts tonight that seem to be in everyone's build.

CPU i7 7700k
Mobo w/ or w/o wifi.. would save money if it has it built in
GPU. 1080 Strix
I like secksii's ram.
And 650 or 750 psu.
Is secksii's CPU cooler worth the $20 extra over the h100i?

better to get standalone wifi for more stable connection vs mobo wifi, also depends how far you are from the modem.
my t9e i got for $70cad is doing well, full bars, 165/165 speed while its upstairs opposite side of the modem downstairs. I use telus fibre 150/150 internet.

chose 850 psu cuz u have the budget, and u wont ever have to worry about replacing it for a long time. Getting 650 will mean you may have to purchase another psu in the future, if ur getting a new build with some badass power hungry machine. 750 is borderline close, but why not just be content with 850 and be assured especially when u got the budget for it.

as for cooler it's up to you, $20 means shit all when ur getting better performance and looks to match the black and white build.

definitely would get 1080 strix for big dik status, vs saving a lil money to get other 1080's.

Okay thanks for explaining! I have fiber and it will be about 35 feet from.the modem. I don't want wires going across the hallway.

If it's better for a cooler, then yes please. This place is too damn hot... Will be getting the Strix for sure though.

Thank you!
