$1,500 would include everything (parts, monitor, mouse, keyboard)
This will be my first PC I've ever built. I'm a beginner. I know the generalities of the parts (CPU, GPU, RAM, etc.), but I'm not expert. I'm literally building this PC for the upcoming launch of WoW classic and I want to be able to run on high settings with max FPS during raids and battlegrounds.
I think I'm pretty set on the 1070 but feel free to change my mind. And I have mixed feelings about Intel and AMD.
Hi, this includes everything for a very decent gaming experience. Nvidia are planning a driver update very soon to support freesync monitors, so you'll gain a nice lag free, smooth experience.
For WOW this will destroy it. The new RTX 2070 instead of the older 1070 that has less performance. Large SSD to load everything on, included Windows 10. Overkill on the power supply but can't pass it up for that price.
True I'm just trying to figure out if I should spend that much for the GPU. I'd only be playing a few games (WoW, skyrim, BFV) but then again if I want max fps maybe the 2070 would be better...hmmm..
If your trying to save a bit look at the RTX 2060 supposed to have a bit better than the 1070 performance for about the same cost or a bit less. This is a overclocked card VS stock 1070ti and 1080 so not really fair but I can see it out performing the 1070 at stock speeds.

The 2060 should be out very soon and cost in the 350 buck area. This is saying the release date is next week. Their also saying you get a free game code for BF5 with the purchase so another win.
Since you now need everything the 1070 is just a place holder for the RTX 2060 since it is supposed to be 350 bucks.
Still the same thing on the cooler it's at Newegg. The 500GB ssd should hold the operating system and some games. Swapped for the i5 8600K about the same performance but the Z370 boards cost more. Should still destroy that game and pretty much all games at the monitor resolution.
WOW is largely cpu bound so I picked the fastest cpu for single core performance, an RTX 2060 due for release January 15 has the performance of an OC 1070 ti which is more than enough.
top build in this thread doesn't have a monitor or peripherals, yet my post is the only one that got down voted. wow more proof that I am being targeted on this site.
I am not a fan of the down vote, and never use, my preference is to use the up vote to lift good design choices. Keep at it, I have seen some decent builds coming from yourself, also keep asking questions to ensure op gets what they really need.
no. non k series intel cpus are just not worth it. You could wait for the 9700KF that's going to be cheaper due to the lack of an iGPU. But you might have to wait a month or 2.
550w is plenty for that system, especially if you don't plan on overclocking.
Mixed feelings being a lot my co workers who have built PC's say to go with Intel, but when I look at a lot of builds on this website, it seems that the majority go with AMD. I just dont know what the difference would be between the two processors.
AMD is more for a budget build or for streaming or work programs they can't match the single core speed of Inter. The i5 9600K is what to get for a gaming PC. I would not compromise their even for a lower price.
LeviAMD would you mind recommending a build for me with an Intel CPU and a 1080? Or do you think I should go with a 2070? Cant decide if going with a 2070 would be overkill for me or not.
