Best custom specs

[J1S2016]

Wanting to build a gaming pc, but wanting to find all high end components that will be compatible together and be more than enough for virtual reality gaming, for example... Motherboard for a 7th gen core i7-7700k, dual nvidia graphics support, 3 usb 3.0 and 1 usb 2.0, HDMI 1.3 output, liquid cooling, large amount of memory and a case to support all of this, any suggestions?

What kind of budget are you ideally looking at? No point going dual GPUs now unless you have enough to get a GTX 1080 Ti, dual lower end cards isn't worth it imo unless perhaps you upgrade with a second down the track but even then 1x stronger card is more often then not better than 2x weaker cards as some games have poor SLI scaling where as others have none what so ever. The i7-7700K if a fine choice for a high end Gaming build too. As for RAM, 16GB should do fine but more could be on the table if you really want it (just be aware 99% of the time 16GB should be more than enough for Gaming and VR) besides you can always grab more later if you need.

If you want a full list chucked together, please let us know your ideal or preffered budget + country.

Thank you that is very helpful, country is U.S. And I'm mainly wanting to just purchase parts as I'm able and build later, that way if something newer comes out that I'd want better, it would be simpler to upgrade instead of an already built system

I see, the only other question i have is what Monitor do you have or plan to get? Is it 1080p/1440p/4K, etc. That will help determine what kind of GPU you should be looking at. For 1080p a GTX 1060 6GB would be a good choice but a GTX 1070 would be better for maximising settings in most games and would be a better choice for VR. For 1440p i'd say look around a GTX 1080 and for 4K a GTX 1080 Ti is your best bet.

I plan on doing the GTX 1080 ti, just not sure if that would be something that would necessarily be smart to try to run dual or not
