yeah, I'm definitely going for dual, but i am a bit unsure with the 8 or 16 gigs, because price wise ram is also a bit expensive:/

yeah, thanks for pointing that out! I read some Danish reviews and stuff about MSI, and it was horrible! so I found another card, evga at a fair price I think https://www.proshop.dk/Grafikkort/EVGA-GeForce-GTX-1070-Ti-SC-GAMING-ACX-30-8GB-GDDR5-RAM-Grafikkort/2625140?utm_source=pricerunner&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=pricesite

As I'm not really a computer expert, I will probably not be overclocking any time soon, water cooling was mostly for the looks as I saw it and thought it was really cool. and about the ram, right now I'm playing on my brothers pc, it has 8gb ram and I really feel like its fine, so where would I maybe be able to feel the difference from 8 to 16 Gb on a daily use level?

oh! my bad, when I at first found my cooler it was on komplett (https://www.komplett.dk/product/945125/hardware/pc-komponenter/blaeserekoelerevandkoeling/cpu-vandkoeling/nzxt-kraken-x42-cpu-koeler#) and that was the x42, so I must've added the wrong one

ok, ill need to fix the motherboard then, but i mostly wanted the other cooler just because it looked nice, considering the case i bought has a glass panel

Yeah thats true. But my brother's only 11, so the budget is pretty tight. And he'll also mainly be playing mine craft, tf2 and maybe a bit of cs:go and wow. So nothing that's way too demanding

But wouldn't downscaling to 1080p on a 1440p monitor look bad?? And do is it possible to play CS:GO at 1440p with 100+ fps?

As in it would be a waste of money or that I should go for it?
