Date: February 20th, 2018 11:13 PM Author: marvelous resort preventive strike No. Some have IGPs built in that you could use in the meantime but for dedicated gaming Mobos they usually try to avoid them, iirc. Seriously, just wait a bit.

I bought a GTX 1060 for $250 just a couple weeks ago, and I see a ton of 1080ti's going in the $775 range:

Date: February 21st, 2018 11:25 AM Author: Contagious milk goyim Your MAJOR MISTAKE here is getting the Samsung 850 SSD. I just took mine out and put it in my wife's laptop for an 960 EVO. The speed difference is extremely noticeable.
SATA sucks donkey balls; go NVMe.
Also, luckily for you, Evo 960 is on sale:
EDIT: Passmark confirms MAJOR DIFFERENCE. EVO 850 - 4,130 benchmark EV0 960 - 14,176

Date: February 21st, 2018 11:32 AM Author: Stirring Doctorate Do you still have an .edu account? Sign up for UNiDAYS account and they give you 20% off Samsung products. You can get the 250GB 960 EVO NVMe for $108 and the 500GB one for $180. Like the guy above mentioned, the NVMe is 100% worth the price difference.
Noctua coolers are the best, but be Quiet isn't bad.
Get the 8600K. You'll save some money vs. the 7700k, it's better than the 7700k and it's not worth the $$$ to upgrade to the 8700k.
Get at least 1,000 watt power supply.

Date: February 21st, 2018 11:34 AM Author: Provocative elite business firm multi-billionaire Seriously wait for the next iteration of intel chips later this year. 10 nm and the spectre and meltdown vulnerabilities will be fixed. If you absolutely need a basic machine right now buy a cheapo celeron rig for the time being, maybe something like a nuc that you can convert into a media server once you build your main rig. If you're interested I can get you a w10 pro license for $20.
