    Question Help me build my new computer!

    Hello, so I'm now looking to build my new computer with the help of a buddy of mine but I have to pick out the parts myself. And while I know a little bit about computers, I am nowhere near as good as many of you guys. And it seems like you like to help out with these kind of things, so why not ask you ? :>

    • Budget: 3650$ (30000 NOK)
    • Resolution: 1920x1080 is the normal I suppose!
    • Games / Settings Desired: Battlefield 1, Overwatch, Legion.
    • Any other intensive software: FL Studio 12, Streaming to Twitch with OBS,
    • Country: Norway, so things are a bit more expensive here.
    • OS: Windows 10
    • Peripherals: Monitor for gaming ( big + if it has tilt)

    The 34" I've listed belowis not to be included in this setup btw, I'll buy that next month instead so don't take that into account when fiddling with the budget. And if you know of a better 32-34" monitor that's awesome for gaming then just post it.

    Extra Notes:
    1. I'll be having a 3 monitor setup with a 34" UW Monitor as my primary in the middle (Aiming for the Acer 34" Predator G-X34)
    2. I want good audio, need to hear the enemy's every move.
    3. Need to be able to handle a lot of USBs at once due to my music production equipment.
    4. I'd prefer a GTX 1080 but you know best.
    5. I have no clue about cooling
    6. i7
    7. Good wireless adapter, I need that as well. I'm currently on a 300/300 internet.

    Will update if I come up with something else. But this is what I got for now.

    Thanks for the help!

    What does your audio equipment looks like now? You wont be able to take advantage of a good soundcard if your headphones are not ready for it. Predator X34 is a pretty good choice.

    For gaming I use the Logitech G35 headset for gaming and Audio-Technica ATH-M50 for music production, also thanks a lot for the help here, I really do appreciate it.

    Two options here then, Creative Sound Blaster Z, which is a best gaming option imo, but is red and has a red light that can only be phisycally disabled. Also, if you want both audiophile and gaming option there is ASUS Essence STX II, price is quite bitey though.
