From recent recommendations by some of the more advanced PC builders on the forum, this is the best option. I know nothing about any of the parts, aside from the monitor. I currently have this monitor and it's amazing. Ultrawide, beautiful colours. Only downside is that it only supports HDMI, not Display Port.

I am currently getting these parts:

And then ordering more after I get those, I raised my budget

OP- The other suggestion here, by pi is pretty solid but I'd change a few things. Though, that's not necessary now anyway apparently. As for those 3 components, the RAM is fine, but the GPU and CPU are taking up the majority of your original $1k budget. Moving to X99 and a high end GPU, I sure hope your budget has doubled or almost doubled. As for the 6800k, terrible buy, don't get it. Save $50+ and get an i7-5820k which is the exact same CPU anyway. That's if you actually even have any use for X99.

I was hoping that you would reply. So Say my budget is 1.6K-2K (1,600-2,000)

I currently have the Porccessor, Gfx card, and the ram. Could you list everything I would need to stay in this budget keep in mind I spent 1k already, so I can only spend 600-1000$ more. I need a decent monitor as well.



Simplified:

Overall Budget: $2000

Items so far:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Total Spent so far: $1,025
Budget left to spend: $1,000

What would be a decent motherboard since I have to find one compatible with the 3 items I currently have.
I don't know much about building a PC if you can not tell, but I want to buy a decent one to last me some time.

So pretty much need everything else besides that including a case

Alright, well first of all, I'd absolutely return that 6800k, and get a 5820k instead, you'll save $50 and the 5820k is literally going to perform exactly the same as the 6800k at the same clock speeds. The 6800k isn't even an easier/better overclocker. I'd probably return that GPU as well, because you can save $20-$30 easily and get a different GTX 1070, maybe a ROG Strix from Asus, or one of EVGA's 1070's, but the GPU is fine, it's not really that necessary, unlike the CPU IMO.

I'd recommend something like this;
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] / [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

CPU: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (Purchased For $432.79)
CPU Cooler: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($46.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($219.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Memory: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (Purchased For $0.00)
Storage: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($109.99 @ NCIX US)
Storage: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($54.50 @ Amazon)
Video Card: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (Purchased For $439.99)
Case: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($79.99 @ NCIX US)
Power Supply: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($77.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Monitor: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($289.95 @ B&H)
Total: $1752.18

The motherboard is white, so it doesn't really match your colour scheme, but it won't get in the way, it won't look ugly. If you want a more neutral coloured motherboard, you can get an MSI X99A SLI PLUS for $200. Nice, well-priced cooler to keep the CPU cool and let you overclock. RAM you have is fine. Nice big SSD, and a 2TB HDD. You can get a 1TB HDD instead if you want, but they're only like $15 or so cheaper. SLI support so you can easily add a 2nd GTX 1070 at any point if you want. Nice case with LEDs. If you want a better/higher end case, spend an extra $20 or so for the Phanteks Enthoo Pro. You're also going to want a nice monitor for this budget, I'd recommend 1440p 144Hz, 4k, or 3440x1440 but that would cost another $200-$250 or so, so the 1440p 60Hz monitor I suggested will do. It's a great monitor, I just feel like an enthusiast grade CPU and high end GPU deserve a higher end monitor.

You're also going to want a nice monitor for this budget, I'd recommend 1440p 144Hz, 4k, or 3440x1440 but that would cost another $200-$250 or so, so the 1440p 60Hz monitor I suggested will do. It's a great monitor, I just feel like an enthusiast grade CPU and high end GPU deserve a higher end monitor.

I did update my comment before, instead of $1800 I bumped it to $2000. Do you think you could find a better monitor since you feel the PC would deserve better?

or, if you want 4k;
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

1440p 144Hz will be the hardest to run, then 4k, and 3440x1440 will be the easiest of the 3 to run. 1440p 144Hz will be better for competitive games due to the higher refresh rate, but 3440x1440 and 4k will objectively look better, graphics wise. Any of the 3 would be a good choice, down to your personal preference really. If you go for 4k, all 3 I linked would be nice, again, just choose your favourite of the 3.

Thanks, also. With this build as is. What can this build potentially do? Stream 4K? Play any game on High? Etc...
