Hello Everyone
I just purchased a Gigabyte GTX 1080 WindForce at a very affordable price. Now I’m planning to build a full PC and I’m on a tight budget (for now)...
I was considering getting an i7 3770k and upgrading it to a stable 4.8GHz. It will be an open-air setup with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED Turbo and Artic MX-4. My main goal is to play casual storyline games with graphics mods on 1080p at 60Hz, using a 24" LED monitor. The reason I bought the GTX 1080 was to push its graphics settings as high as possible in that resolution.
The rest of the components will include 16GB RAM, a 550W power supply, and a 1TB hard drive. I hope you all understand what I’m looking for.
If you need anything else, I’m here.
Thanks in advance <3

Hey there!
For now, due to my limited budget, I can't afford a Ryzen or a 7th Gen i-series CPU. Still, can you confirm whether the i7-3770k OC at 4.8GHz won’t be sufficient for your GPU?
🙁
Also, just a note about the Antec 550W 80+ Plus – I’ve got it covered!
