power: 600w Thermaltake

 

 

MEM: 32G ddr4 2666mhz

 

 

 

VID: GTX 1080 Ti

Dont buy that CPU, there are much better alternatives out as of now.

 

With 4.1GHz you cannot feed that GPU properly.

 

A 3000 Ryzen series or 9th or even 10th series Intel was a much better deal.

 

Even that 4core/8thread Ryzen 3300x will deliver more despite having 2 cores less, but it's only 120 bucks and could run on a B550 board that would allow a next gen Ryzen to pop in when they come by the end of this year ;)

 

Anything but not an old & locked Intel
