What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

  • Gaming mostly, games like battlefield 1, overwatch, GTA... Mostly shooters and open world
What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

  • $1000
When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

  • I have no idea, im not trying to rush myself
What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

  • Nothing more than the essential, so no need to add os, monitor, mouse, etc.
Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

  • Chances are that it will be online with shipping to Mexico, so no microcenter and i believe no newegg :( but i guess i can sort that out
If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

  • None, but will buy peripherals apart form the pc
Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

  • Not interested in OC
Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

  • SSD for bootup, i5 core, 1070 gpu and 16 gigs of RAM
Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

  • I dont care about leds, would want it black themed.
Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

  • No.
Extra info or particulars:

  • So i'm looking for a great build using a 1070, no specific model, for about $1000... Thanks in advance!

The i3 7350K is a better gaming cpu than most of the i5s except the 6600k or 7600K- which could be outperformed if you wanna OC, which you easily can.
Rest of the rig is pretty much to your directions- blacked out components.

When the day comes when you need more oomph, get a 7th gen i7 (or 8th gen if they keep the same socket).

getting a 4-core like the 6600k/7600k is a far better idea, especially for playing games. or even get a 6500 if you have to, although i'd get the 6/7 600k, and get 8 gb of ram, probably single-stick to upgrade later. And imho you don't need the 2 extra case-fans. Speaking of memory, i'd reccomend getting high-frequency ram, like somewhere from 2666mhz and upwards. Also the price-difference between the kaby-lake i3 and skylake i5 is very small.


Or do as they all say, wait for amd's ryzen and vega

Yeah I know, true quadcores are always better than HT'ed dual cores. But I was judging on the facts anyway.

And of course, Ryzen is shaping to be a worthy contender.
