Greetings members, I’m working on my fifth build, (thanks to Computer Forum), and my first since 2010 – So I’ve been out of the loop awhile. All my previous builds are still running BTW – Likely because this forum provided me the knowledge of quality components. This build will be for my fourteen year-old Son whom has discovered that the PC gaming experience beats the X-box One. Please critique my list and feel free to offer suggestions and/or constructive criticism. Budget is ~ $2,000 without a monitor. He will initially use a 1080p monitor, though, will likely upgrade to 1440p in the future. Will not overclock initially, though, may in the future. Also the MB supports the M2 SSD interface and I’m not knowledgeable enough to know if that would be a good option. Anyway, the list;
CPU – i7-7700K, $350
Cooler – Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, $30
