@skipper847: please keep Hardware discussion at Hardware forum only.

I moved it.

As for your question, don't get founders edition because it's less powerful and makes more heat.

Overall great build, change the GPU to Palit Jetstream edition which also cost less

+1.

Change Founders Edition to Palit GeForce GTX 1070 Dual 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card.

It will save you £54 and it will give you more performance, it will be cooler, and quiter.

@Coseniath: not sure which one is better - the dual or the Jetstream edition, but I've recommended him Jet edition because it's in stock from his site, but if it's slightly better by performance/noise level/temps and the wait is not much big then sure.

I can't stress enough how much of a difference an aftermarket card makes over a reference card in regards to heat and noise. NEVER get the reference card.

I have 2 1070 FTW cards and they have been great so far.

Thanks for replies. Sorry I just click on the forum tab and choose PC/mac/Linux society. I wish the Hardware forum option was on there too as I keep forgetting you have a forum for this kind of question.

My 1st proper PC was in 2008 and every time I upgraded it been 4 years my last was July 2012.

At the moment I have a I7 3770k 3.50ghz. asus strix 970 gtx. 8GB ram 1300, Asus h61mk which is crap for overclocking so might as well buy a new complete system. I had a msi 670 and a z77xud3h mobo and exact same problem on different monitors and TVs.

This is excellent for desktop work but every single game I get stutter. It can be 3d games to top down games like SimCity 2013. I tried different monitors and bought new SSD etc but still same. My brother does a lot of work on desk top so going to give this to him.

Only other thing I can think of is CPU and RAM. So if getting a new CPU and RAM I might as well get a complete new PC just to be safe and hope it not the same.

The Jetstream is a better version, the problem is that in the GPU selection options, the Jetstream appeared only for GTX1080. :P

Actually there is no big difference between i7 3770K and i7 6700K.

I don't know why games stutter, we need more data to find this, but maybe the 8GB 1333MHz RAM was the bottleneck (I can't find anything else). In some games, lower bandwidth RAM, provides low minimum FPS numbers on tests and this might be the case...

With 2400MHz 16GB this potential bottleneck will not exist any more..

@Coseniath:

Trust me I have asked and asked in the past and I give up trying but appreciate the feed back. Nothing has ever fixed it. That why I come up with the solution of it been CPU or RAM. I changed everything else even PSU. I don't buy much apart from gaming stuff so will treat my self. Its not a bad treat for only every 4 years. Also with having a cheap motherboard now don't help.

Sorry for quadruple posting but as said I have a Asus H61m-k motherboard with a Sandisk pluss 256GB SSD. Could it be the motherboard only been 3GB speed what could be causing the stutter?.
