PC Virgin With $2200 - Millennial - Jun 11, 2018
Can you build me something that will be somewhat future proof? I'm a PC virgin with a budget of around $2200 CAD.
I'd like it to be able to run almost anything I can throw at it on max settings, without dropping below 60fps while streaming. I plan on using a 1080p 120/144hz monitor [if] it's in the budget. If not then a 60hz monitor like the one I already have will be fine. Peripherals also need to be included in the price, with the exception of a headset. I already have an Astro headset.

Well basically this is what it looks like, save up for a new monitor, but this will be solid for you...

I wasn't expecting a response that fast. Looks awesome. What's the difference between the 1070 and the 1070 Ti?

Long and short of it, 1070Ti is a 1080 that runs cooler, uses less power and is cheaper.

Would you recommend the 1070 Ti Mini from Zotac?

Unless space is limited no, if you plan to take full advantage by overclocking it the mini only has a single 8-pin vs the dual 8-pins on the “full length” amp/amp extreme.
Spec wise I believe they are the same but the larger cards should have larger coolers and better power delivery so in theory should perform better.

Okay. Thanks again.
I made some slight changes to the list. My new price is $3000.98 after a $30 rebate.

I didn't change the budget. I just altered the first suggested build, and it came out to $3000.
I opted for a Ryzen 7 2700X. I opted for a Samsung 970 Evo SSD. I opted for a Seagate Firecude fusion drive. I opted for 16GB of TridentZ RGB memory. And I opted for the liquid cooled Aorus GTX 1080 Ti from Gigabyte.
Included in the budget is a Logitech G Pro mouse and keyboard, and the G series speakers and headset. And an additional Asus VP228H monitor.

Wait until the next nvidia cards get announced before you buy
