Asking for new PC help? ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS FIRST

Indian PcPartPicker rates are never correct. 1080Ti is meant for 4k (3840 x 2160) gaming and not for 1080p.

Still, fill the questionnaire and mention what exact parts you've bought already.

You're planning to build the config in March and have already bought a case that too a crappy one? :facepalm:

Prices can change and there is a fair certainty of newer hardware getting launched before March. Suggesting a config now would be pointless.

For 1080p or 2k go for gtx 1080, a nice 10k shinny efficient case like nzxts. Or the new Haf. And then sell your monitor if it's not 144hz and get one.. you need ti for 4k not till 2k.. buy the above you will save a handful and can fit it ssd.. some cool rgbs and nice speakers, headset, etc etc.. 1.5k is a lot.. don't waste on ti pls..
