Budget:
$2k-$2500

Expectations:
The quieter the better

Usage:
1080p(? see questions below) gaming with light video editing

Special needs:
I do need the Blu-Ray RW, I watch a lot of movies

Saved Ticket #: 1514572

Questions/Concerns:
1. I'm currently running a DS Marauder which is in a Corsair Vengeance C70 with standard chassis fans, a GTX 970 Strix, and a Noctua NH-D14. It's pretty quiet as is, would my selected chassis + WC setup be quieter?

2. I've always been happy with gaming on 1080p, though I'm looking to buy a new monitor. Is 1440p worth the upgrade? Would I be able to go 1440p on a GTX 1070? If so, possible monitor recommendations?

Thanks for any help!

Welcome to the forums!

From what I understand from the smart people that hang about around here, the GTX1070 really shines at 1080p. For anything bigger, you'd be better served with the GTX1080.

That build looks pretty good to me. I would suggest a couple of changes.....

Swap the 750b1 power supply for the other 750watt for an additional $34. It's a gold vs bronze supply with better efficiency and double the warranty.

Swap the HDD for a Western Digital Black, also a more reliable drive with longer warranty.

Not sure what your getting with the DS branded SSD, but I'd get a Samsung or other name brand for knowing what you have and better warranty beyond the DS warranty.

Like Snaike said, a gtx 1070 is all you need for 1080p monitor. A 1440p, which is a step up in gaming, a 1070 will play most games very good. A gtx 1080 would be ideal for all games and future needs over the next couple of years for over a 1080p. I still play on a 1080p and might move up in the future, but still happy with 1080p.

Good luck.
