Hello everyone,
I am currently in the process of picking out parts for my new build. This is my second ever build, and the first that I am researching totally on my own. The goal of my new build is to make a step up from my current system (GPU: GTX 970, CPU: i5-7600K, Motherboard: Z270 Gaming M3, Ram: 2x 8GB, SSD: 512 GB, HDD: 1 TB) and have a PC that is sufficent for running games for the next couple of years.
For this new build I have quite a bit more budget, but the total cost that I am at right now is still a bit too high. Thus I have a few questions and would be happy if you could help me out. (See part list at the end of the post, link to PcPartPicker [here](https://pcpartpicker.c
