    Hi there. I'm planning to switch from my ASUS ROG laptop and right now i'm trying to find out some decent build for gaming.

    Budget is about 2k$ (I live in Europe). And here is my build so far:

    CPU: Intel Core i7-7700K
    Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z270F GAMING
    Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB DDR4
    Graphics Card: ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5
    Hard Drive: WD Black 2TB

    Heatsink: Cooler Master MasterLiquid Pro 240
    Case: AeroCool Project 7 P7-C1
    Power Supply: AeroCool HIGGS-650W

    That's it. I will be grateful for any help with my build

    Stay away from AeroCool. Seriously, especially the PSUs. The case I included is an example, I have no idea what your preference is. If you're into that RGB stuff you can look into this.

    Would be more useful to mention where you live and if you are buying from your country, with your local currency and budget. Cause listing US parts and prices won't reflect EU prices or even availability.

    Most of that build is pretty easy to find in Europe, except for maybe an EVGA PSU, which can be replaced with a Corsair RMx.

    Dunno why everyone always leaves out thermal paste but you need that!
