New pc - feedback

[art just right 427]

Hello guys!

what do you think about this pc i want buy? 

mb:GIGABYTE Z270X-Ultra Gaming - Intel Z270

cpu:Intel Core i7-7700K

gpu:Gainward GeForce GTX 1070 Phoenix, 8GB GDDR5

RAM:Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3000 MHz

and some ssd for this game...

i know there are so many people who know much more about pc than me, thats why i am posting it here.

Is it good choice? Or can I get something better or make some combination?

I plan high detailed city with cca 50-60 mods, over 1000+ assets. How many people should I handle without bigger drops? Can we say 200k at max.?

Thousands thanks!

That's a laptop or desktop ? Anyway, sure Cities Skylines is a "Feed me with RAM!" game but the game engine isn't the best to be honest.

A desktop, the motherboard was specified

Honestly if you don't need it now, I'd hold off a little while. The newer X-Series Core i7s (and for the terminally loaded, i9s too) are coming, but you'll need a different socket mainboard for them and the other X-edition CPUs. Similarly a new refresh of the main line of chips is due in Autumn as always. As such, June is a bad month to be buying CPUs, since you'll get stuck a generation behind and likely pay the same price too.

Ultimately the answer to all these questions is simply, how much do you want to spend? The more you spend on the CPU, GPU and RAM, the more your computer will be able to handle.

• RAM is one of the biggest issues with Skylines, so 32GB is a good bet. 64GB would likely be overkill, then again it depends how far you are looking to push things.
• The GPU is fine, again a good amount of VRAM, more is always better, but after 8GB it gets very expensive.
• Similarly, the game would benefit from having more CPU power, but I seem to recall it's not well optimised for anything beyond 4 cores.

Your i7 is starting to look overpriced looking at the suggested retail of the new X-Series chips. In short AMD are about to kick Intel into action by releasing many core CPUs under the Ryzen brand. This may have been what spurred Intel to finally bring many-core CPUs to market after years of people asking for them. With proper competition for the first time in many years -  AMDs have been behind Intel since the Core i series were launched, a long way behind. Intel CPUs are likely to fall in price in the longer term if AMD turn out to have a truly competitive product line. But right now Intel can pretty much charge what they want for CPUs.

Since if I were spending that sort of money on a computer, I'd want it to last a good while, you'll get a better return on your investment if you have a little patience. Given the new options coming in just a few months, I'd wait and see how the dust settles. I imagine you'll get significantly more power for the same money as a result.

Well.. to be honest, I was planning on upgrading some of my laptop components some time ago. I ended up buying a new laptop, which is on the way.

specs:

Overclocked Intel Core i7 6820HK 2.7GHz Processor

 Overclocked 2400MHz 64GB DDR4 Memory

GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5

 512GB SSD + 1TB HDD with NVMe PCIE Controller

NVIDIA G-SYNC 17.3-inch 1080p Display

 

I love it so far!!

Thanks for your reply!

 

Hm, I am waiting almost all this year. So I want buy it as soon as possible. Sadly dont have enough money for 64GB ram, anyway I can upgrade when i will have enough..

Ye, i saw better gpus are really much more expensive, like double price, which isnt possible for me. (but there are many of 1070)

About cpu... i read much about intel and amd, but cannot decide. I7 is better for games and ryzen is better for videomaking etc..My priority is game. But is is true?

 

At the moment, is best choice get i7 7700k?  They are saying, get ryzen it wil lbe better in future.. 

 

My plan is buy it at 1st of July.. (cannot wait more for playing this awesome game with high end setup..I am saving money from January - I am not rich man)
