    Hi All,

    Is it possible to build a gaming 4K Gaming PC for €1500? THe price does not include the monitor which will be picked up separate. I also dont think if its freesync or gsync as I dont imagine the FPS will ever be that high. I could be wrong on that though.

    I also might wait until Nvidia release their new cards in the hope that the 1080 drops in price.

    Your going to need a 1080ti GPU for 4k anywhere near 60htz....I would suggest one second hand there should be lots for sale with the no 20 series cards released. That will consume 500-650 of your budget. Would consider a 8600k GPU or a Ryzen to not bottleneck it....albeit that 4k bottleneck the GPU not the CPU.

    At 4k, a Ryzen 1400 or i5-8400 are more than fine as it will be a GPU bottleneck as long as you have enough cores/threads to ensure at least a stable 60fps at all times.

    EVGA deal for 1080Ti + PSU for €750 means you can easily build a 4K machine for your budget, most games would run at 4k high-ultra 60fps pretty well.
