    Need a new pc+

    My laptop died recently, although I'm going and try and fix it It's high time I get a new pc.
    Through pcpartpicker I made a build, but I'm wondering if there are things I should change. I'm also looking for a nice monitor but got no clue where to look.

    Https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/FvVrPs

    Intel core i5-7600k 3.8ghz quad core
    Corsair h100i v2 liquid cooler
    Astock z270 pro4 atc lga1151 mb
    Kingston savage 2x 8gb drr4-2400
    Transcend 960gb ssd
    Seagate barracuda 3tb 7200rpm hd
    Evga geforce 1080 8gb superclocked gaming acx 3.0
    Corsair 750d atx full tower
    Seasonic g 550w 80+ gold semi-mod atx powersupply
    Tp-link tg3468 pciexpress network adapter

    This totals for around €1800, max budget for pc plus monitor and mouse/ keyboard is €3000

    My favorite games atm are Total war warhammer, overwatch and many sandbox games.

    Thanks in advance

    Since it is well within your budget, I would upgrade to the 7700k.

    The 1080ti will be launching on Feb. 28th. (at least announced) You'll hate yourself if you don't wait two days and see what's up.

    For a monitor:

    PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

    Monitor: Asus PG279Q ROG Swift 27.0" 2560x1440 165Hz Monitor (£771.48 @ Scan.co.uk)
    Total: £771.48
    Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

    165hz / 4ms response / IPS / 1440p.
    I sat alone in the dark one night, tuning in by remote.
    I found a preacher who spoke of the light, but there was Brimstone in his throat.
    He'd show me the way, according to him, in return for my personal check.
    I flipped my channel back to CNN and lit another cigarette.

    If you do decided to go for 1080 over ti, pick the iCX one from EVGA.
    Wait, hold on, how is that shop offering 1080 for 200e less than anyone else?
    PM me weird stuff :3

    Missed the news? MSRP for the 1080 dropped by almost 30% with the release of the Ti. That's starting to reflect in online prices now.
    Super casual.
