So after reading all the advices and making some research, this is my new build. My budget for this was 2000€ and this build is 1955€.

• Case: Fractal Design Define R5 Preta
• Power Supply: Fonte Corsair RM650i
• CPU: Intel Core i7-7700K Quad-Core 4.2GHz c/ Turbo 4.5GHz 8MB Skt1151
• Graphics Card: MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GAMING X 11G
• RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3000MHz CL15
• SSD: SSD M.2 2280 Samsung 960 Evo 250GB TLC NVMe
• Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix Z270F Gaming
• Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212X

The SSD is now a NVMe 250GB, currently I'm using 165GB of my hardrive so the 250GB is more than enough for now and in the future I can get a bigger one if I need it. I went with the Hyper 212X cooler it's cheap and it seams to have good reviews.

So what do you think? Is there room for improvement? What do you think is the weakest part of this build.

So, I'm going to take your advice and change a little bit the build I have so far, I'll post it later.

Just a few questions:

• Do you think that M.2 vs SSD has a big improvement? I can save some money going SSD.
• Is there any constrain in buying a 1x16GB now and another 2 months or so later so that I have a 32GB dual channel and be prepare to have more RAM in the future?
• Is there a big diference in performance and noise with a water cooling system vs a air cooler?

I'll start the search and post the changes later in the day.

So I've been thinking and here is extra information and decisions that I think are important.

I've never overcloked my pc's and actually don't know how to do it, so I'm not very interested in overclocking. Do you think that I should go for the 7700k CPU even if I'm not overclocking?

Regarding RAM, I think I'm going with 1x16GB now and buy another one around December. As for hard drive I've actually have this one:

• Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

And not a 2TB as I've mentioned. I'm think of using this as my games drive and install more demanding games on the M.2.

So if you think that I should go with the 7700 CPU, can you help me find a nice motherboard fot it?

In case you think I should go with the 7700k CPU, can you recomend a cooler?

This is going to be the first time I'll build the pc on my one

@zelyre: I've always had a non overclock CPU, I'm not think of overckloking do you think that the 7700k is still the better option? Can you recommend a cooler for that?

@masterpine: Do you have any recommendations for a motherboard for 7700 CPU? I'll use the M.2 SSD mainly for booting and running games that need more speed on acessing the disck like DOOM, I have a 2TB HDD for documents and other games.

@dagas: Do you think I should by (x1) 16GB of RAM insted of 2x8GB and buy another 16GB in the future?

At the time I have a 2010 pc that it's showing his age, I bought DOOM in the last Steam sale and it was impossible to play with the default configuration. I was already thinking on making a new build and that was the tipping point for me.

So I started to investigate on what I want for my new build, I want the most future proof pc that I can get. I took 7 years for my actual build to show his age and I want the new one to be at least as good as my last one.

This means that I want a pc that can run games in 4K and also be goo for VR (thinking of buying a Vive next year).

This is what I've come up with so far, and I would appreciate your opinion and help on choosing my components. I'm aiming to buy everything in May so we have a month to prepare this.

Hope you all join me on building my new pc.

• SSD: M.2 2280 Samsung 850 Evo 250GB TLC SATA
• Motherboard: Asus ROG Maximus IX Hero

The motherboard is the thing I have more doubts on buying, the CPU and GPU are the things I'm more certain.

So what do you think of this build?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Well I notice this yesterday, after installing Watch Dogs. The PS4 was downloading update patches for the game and I noticed the humming.

I picked up the console and the noise stop which makes me think the the problem may be the vibration the console does when spinning the disc, the vibration on the platform the console is make the humming noise.

The sound is quite noticeable and loud but it stop minutes after, mind you I was not in the game, I was on the downloading screen.

Today I'm going to test the cleaning solution and see if it works.

Yes! Awesome.
