Hi everyone,

with the release of the Path of Exile Expansion around the corner I decided to get a new PC. Preferably I'd like to get all components from mindfactory.de (only reasonable seller in Germany sadly)
Im looking to spend a little bit more and have it being a good investment for the coming years meaning I want to be able to play most games in 3+ years still with this machine.
Because PoE is known to cause problems with AMD products I'd rather take a step away from them so lets get started:

Budget: 1400-1600€ (depending on whether 100-200€ will noticably improve the build)
More specific use (what games, what programs): PoE for now, other games (mostly MMORPGs) later
Planned time until purchase: ASAP
Do you need an Operating System?: No
Do you have any specific preferred components?: Intel CPU + Nvidia GPU
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: No
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: I do not plan to overclock (never did) but I'm not sure whether stock cooling is sufficient.
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: No, neither.
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): Germany

If you are only buying this to play POE then just buy a super cheap computer considering POE doesnt take much to run. My Macbook pro runs it perfectly. So why spend that much for such a simple game?

It is not the only reason. It's just what made me decide on buying a new PC right now.

Do you prefer any color scheme?
And do you prefer using the whole budget even tho its currently overkill for PoE?

7700k, 1060 6gb, use the rest of budget to get quality parts on the rest of components. So the only thing you need to upgrade is the gpu in the future when you actually need to

No I dont really care about the looks that much.
Well the plan is to get a top notch PC right now and not worry about upgrading or anything for the next 2-3 years atleast.

a total of 1550€ on mindfactory.de
Just put these numbers in the searchbar to add the hardware to the basket:
69513
69207
8636229
8681415
8753528
63383
8649855
67158
A full black build, with a lot of RGB lightning so you can control your color scheme for your liking.
- And it's very easy to do some milder overclocking. I can guide you through it if you want the extra "free" performance.

Thank you, I'm not really sold on the liquid cooling though.
https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/tJwYCy this is smth I came up with when I tried it myself
You place way more money in the mainboard and have an older GPU instead. Is there any specific reason?

That mobo is trash tier that's why

Mobo has your amp in it for one, gives you the sound quality

That mobo also doesn't support ram speed above 2400

Well yeah liquid cooling is more for the aesthetics.
The z270 is for overclocking you will be able to get 15% more performance out of your CPU that way.
The 1070 and 1080ti is both from the same series (pascal).
I just feel like its kinda sad using a B250 motherboard with such highend components.

BTW what monitor will your be using?
