A powersupply can not directly cause software to fail. However, software is nothing more than a set of instructions to execute and expect a return on the execution. When the execution becomes corrupted, which CAN happen due to power issues, the software will fail depending on the severity. So yes, a malfunctioning powersupply can and will cause hardware and thus software to perform suboptimal.
 
If you want to compare it to a real life situation. Say you're driving on a road, a road needs to be paved right? Well, over time the pavement starts to deteriorate and cause pudholes. Now see the road as your power delivery. Where when it was all new you had no pudholes that could damage your car (software) you now, 7 years later, have many pudholes which can, but not always will, damage your car.

Can't wait haha
and I just used the Microsoft Store App for Netflix ands the sound is awesome here too!
You helped me out just by pointing that out because now I can watch more than just the dvds I have in surround haha. Cheers man

My "nothing cheaped out or overboard" build will look like this

8700k and 9700k perform similarly at the same frequency because more cores is compensated by not having HT. 9700k's extra cost is mostly justified by using solder rather than paste between the lid and die of the CPU, which gives better thermals compared to 8700k without delid. Delidded 8700k cools even better, but then delidding itself makes 8700k route more expensive than 9700k.
 
Big air cooler because 280mm liquid coolers don't beat them when noise levels are normalized, but cheaper.
 
A strong board that can easily support the CPU's overclock. Even the 9900k can be handled should you think of upgrading to that. Alternative will be the Asrock Z370 K6 or Z390 Phantom 6, with weaker but still sufficient VRMs for the 9700k and oc friendly features such as a debug post code and BIOS reset switches (rather than no debug tools and annoying jumpers on the Elite).
 
cheapest 2x8gb high frequency kit.
 
500GB SSDs give a lot more capacity per dollar and big enough to store a few games along with the OS, even though for durability's sake I generally recommend leaving it half filled at most.
 
Big HDD for stuff that doesnt fit into the SSD. Also one that's cheap for the capacity.
 
RTX 2080 is my choice for 1440p 144fps in demanding games. Still not the highest settings, more like a mix of high and very high depending on how demanding the game is.
 
A case with average performance, build quality and affordable price. Comes with a 140mm and 120mm fan each. I'd put them on the top as intake because I prefer having less dust than performance.
 
Intake fans at the front to pull air in
 
1440p 144Hz VA Freesync monitor. VA panel doesnt suck in colour reproduction like TN without costing as much as IPS at this resolution and refresh rate. Nvidia opened up Freesync support so this function gets used as well.
 
I'd cut the CPU to a 9600k then, omit the HDD and get a cheaper board like the Asrock Z370 Extreme4. Same single thread performance and enough cores to crank most games past 144fps still. I really don't want to downgrade to the 2070 because that's a card that performs in most games, very closely to the 2060 yet cost quite a bit more (5-15% more fps, 30% more price). However the 2060 isn't exactly great, it can touch 100fps average in BF5 with RTX of course disabled at 1440p high in BF5, but then BF5 without RTX stuff is easier to run than many big AAA games..

Reevaluate when you go to make the choice, but for now it's best to get it rather than wait for potentially months.

X470
Pros: More features than X570, cheaper, good enough power delivery
Cons: No out of the box compatibility with 3rd gen, not all can flash bios without compatible CPU (regarding the older bios) to support new CPUs (including the X470 Carbon)
 
X570
Pros: PCIe 4, if you're rich enough to justify spending extra on PCIe 4 SSD rather than something else. Out of the box compatiblity with 3rd gen, overkill power delivery
Cons: So expensive, they only make sense because they have these pros. Otherwise they get beaten by X470, even B450 boards
 
Also dont get the 3600X unless the 3600 is equally priced. Their performance difference is miniscule compared to the usual price difference of $50.

Intel can barely sort their 10nm process so next year you won't find anything that is much more powerful, I mean you can only put so much power in a 14nm chip so probably a refresh. You can get a 3rd gen ryzen and update your mobo bios. I mean you might as well wait 2 years for something even better or 3 or 4. The 3rd gen ryzen are a solid choice, just go for one of them and you shouldnt regret it. 

Wait for Zen 2 refresh, Ryzen 4000. Probably next year late summer.

Design choice, I quite like it. More character than a full black look (I understand people prefer this sometime too ).
Its called a two-tone, very common, basic and popular way to give something a bit of added aethetic appeal. - eg: 

This may blow your mind, but you can turn RGB off.
 
This may also blow your mind, but plenty of non-RGB RAM exists.

A few things I have tried when my rig underperforms -
-Setting power saving mode to ultra performance (even in a desktop)
-Going into Control Panel of Nvidia to make sure its using the GPU and not the cpu's grpahics.
-Checking overclocks and drivers
-Using RivaTuner (or any other monitoring software) to see utilization and clocks to further see what is throttling/under performing
 
Hope this helps.
You might also check the minecraft forums to see if there is something preventing your PC from performing higher. As far as I can say, don't blame the card, it shouldn't be "underwhelming"
 
Edit: one more thing, the minecraft video settings have a setting for fps limit which I reduced without reading it back when I first started playing. Maybe check that too

I just bought i5 3570K.

Story was posted over 10 hours ago, from one source. Has not since been updated declaring it a fake at that source. Story was posted to another source around the 10 hour mark. Again not updated as being a fake. Story was then posted an hour ago from the source I used in the OP.  Again, without an update within the hour declaring it as a fake.
 
You have a reason, or source, that shows this is a fake? Or you just trying to stir the pot?

He's saying if you made the list on ca.pcparkpicker.com it would've used CAD prices instead of USD since you used regular pcpartpicker.com

Not so much pressure that his screw will slip out and scratch the board beyond repair but we can just agree to disagree on this point.
 
If you're really that worried about him screwing it up then find a old office pc or something for cheap and have him take it apart and put it back together for practice so he gets a feel for how to handle things.

An m.2 is arguably easier as there are no cables to run. SSD's and HDD's will require running two lengths of cable for SATA power and data

It will work, and should be easy to install following one of the many guides online.  Also B450 will allow a plethora of new CPUs down the road.
That said, your PSU is overkill (500W is plenty) and he will get tired of waiting for whatever is on the HDD to load at 5400RPM.  
 

Cool thanks guys/gals, think I'll wait till the rx 5000 series releases to see if the initial reports are as expected in which case I'll pick up a 2070 super and upgrade to a Ryzen 3000 series cpu in the coming year.
Thing is India has some of the most outrageous pricing for pc components.

always get the best GPU you can afford.

When my friend wanted me to build him a computer I sent him all the parts and he was on his own.  He figured it out eventually and he's been building computers since.  
 
I'm not saying you should send your brother some parts and wish him good luck, but he's going to need to learn how to put a computer together and buying parts specifically because they are easy to install rather than good performance/value isn't worth missing a life lesson for.  My friend was empowered after building his first computer and hopefully it helped him become the awesome guy he is today.  
 
Arm your brother with the tools he needs to build the computer himself and then help him when he asks for it. 
 

Yep, and anyone who recommends a BeQuiet cooler can be bundled up with them. The hyper 212 is awful to mount even if you are experienced and the BeQuiet mounting system is super involved and fiddly

better get case & psu separately.
eg corsair cx450m is semi-modular , great for learning with flat cables
 
and not to get a too small case, any case shall be fine, let him pick one he likes

i mean... the wraith that comes with the 2400g should have a "standard" mounting so to say
 
i highly recommend to throw everyone that tries to recommend a 212 evo out of the window?

Get a decent board and the i7 8700K is at 5GHz with a BIOS setting, just like Memory and XMP.  Even if he's not all that savvy, it's a single setting and done.
 
But yea... may as well add the "wait for Zen 22342422dsfr23452", cuz the naming scheme is ass stupid.

Yeh if he's not going to really OC more than .2 GHz then it's probably best to grab the i7

It sounds like Vsync is on.
 
Also slight rant:
Oh boy, the "B" word! I think it's important to understand what OP wants and what OP is doing before dropping the "B" word because if anything, the "B" word should be something you drop after checking out everything else. Unless it's clearly obvious something's wrong.
 
For example, TechSpot managed to achieve the same minimum frame rates in Battlefield 1 using a Core i5-6600K and a i7-6700K. And those minimums are way higher than what OP is reporting. A few other places report minimum frame rates way higher than what OP is reporting. Therefore, I think this isn't a bottleneck issue because there's clearly some evidence that the i5-6600K can get those performance numbers.
