CPUs
>R3 2200G - Bare minimum gaming(dGPU optional)
>R5 2400G - Consider IF on sale
>R5 2600/X - Good gaming & multithreaded work use CPUs
>i7-8700K - Best for 1080p gaming, but most expensive when factoring in delid, cooling, etc.
>R7 2700/X - Best high-end gaming/mixed usage on a non-HEDT platform
>Threadripper/Used Xeon - HEDT

Motherboards
>For Intel, only Z300 series boards can utilize fast memory

RAM
>8GB - Enough for most gaming use

>CPUs benefit from fast RAM; 2933MHz+ is ideal

Graphics cards

1080p
>RX 570/580 /w Freesync or 1060 6GB are standard 1080p 60fps+ options
>1050Ti or RX560 for lower settings, or older games
>GTX 1070Ti/Vega 56 if seeking higher fps & you have a CPU+monitor to match
1440p
>Vega 56 /w Freesync, 1070Ti if you already have Gsync
>GTX 1080Ti if seeking higher fps & you have a CPU+monitor to match

Motherboard doesn't really affect performance more than 1% at stock settings.
What CPU were you looking at?
Fast RAM, namely low true latency, does make a pretty huge difference, and only Z370 boards support fast memory. So cheapest Z370 is an option for an i5-8400 if that's what you were considering to get more out of it with faster RAM, however at that point you may as well be getting a 2600/X instead.
With AMD CPUs, you can run fast memory on a B450 board instead of needing X470.

Eh really?
The highest end GTS is 1405MHz base, 1425 boost.
Lowest end GTS is 1366 base, 1386 boost.
Highest end GTR(-S) is 1430MHz base, 1450MHz boost.
Lowest end GTR is also 1366 base, 1386 boost. But it's GTR, not GTR-S.

There is some overlap, but GTR-S is clearly their high end and GTS the mid-range that does creep into higher end.
I've heard mediocre things about the GTS fans and heatsink as well.

1080p? 1440p? 75hz? Higher?
Well if you're doing video editing, 2700X is a pretty easy choice unless you'd rather sacrifice quality faster encoding with quicksync. And 1440p or 4k is helpful with video editing and productivity in general. And you'd probably want an IPS, right...?

Trying to build a really, really good gaming PC for just around $1000. What do you think? Can something like this run basically any modern game at full settings at 60FPS? In particular I wonder about the motherboard, I know the OP says Z300 is preferable but is a B360 really that much of a downgrade? And is it ok the RX 580 is also a 4GB?

You know where to go back to faggot

How big is the shift from a 24" 1080p to a 27" 1440p monitor?
I'm planning on buying a 2nd 27" monitor and use it in conjunction with my current 24" 1080p one. I already know what monitor to look for, what refreshrate it needs to have, what kind of panel it should be (tn, va, ips) etc,
What I'm more concerned about is having to change sitting distance from monitors, having to adjust Fov in games, learning to work on documents with the extra screen space, adjust scaling, setting up a vesa mount or just use the original monitor's stand, use hdmi or buy a displayport cable, so on and so forth.
Is there anyone that has such a setup. Is it hard to work with or get used to? Are 27" 1440p worth it or are 32"+ 4k panels a better choice?

Ok so my current case allows for one 120mm slim fan on the bottom for intake. The system runs well enough but I'd like to reduce load temps. I have enough room above the PSU around the back vents for 2 40mm fans to act as exhaust. However, the intake fan is using an ultra low noise adapter bringing in 46,5 m3/h. I could switch it to the LNA instead for 70,8 m3/h. My question is, what's more worthwhile, adding the exhaust fans or just upping the intake rate? So far the only real exhaust is the PSU.

Just change where you monitor is.
Put is 10% further back and it'll appear the same size.
Adjust DPI scaling to make that around the same.
Or don't. Have it be closer and higher FOV, no dpi scaling.

There's lots of options, but yes there will be some small adjustment.

4Gb is fine enough for 1080p. I'd get the XFX model for I think $5 more, though.

Why are you getting an 8700k with 2400MHz RAM?
A 2600X with faster RAM would be the same performance as a 8700k with RAM that slow.
Either get faster RAM that isn't going to hold the 8700k back, or get a lesser CPU.
Also you have an unlocked CPU on a locked board. You generally need a board in the $160+ range to OC the 8700k.

Just preordered the Radeon WX 8200 to replace my Frontier Ripoff edition, it's gonna be a long time until we can get our hands on 7nm GPUs.
I just hope Ryzen 7nm will get going quickly and without many hiccups.
