Thanks, I'll check those out.

So now I'm deciding on a GPU. How would the ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1060 Mini compare to the XFX RX-480 8GB? I think the RX 480 looks a lot better and has 2 GB more GDDR5. But it does have a lower base clock of 1266MHz vs 1506MHz or 1708MHz (with boost). I don't how much overclocking the larger Card and the extra fan on the RX-480 would allow. Edit: I think the difference in speed would be quite small, so I guess I will choose by personal preference.

I've checked those out, but the Kaby Lake CPU's are too expensive at the moment. But I will consider waiting for Zen, thanks! I didn't plan to buy all parts from Amazon anyways. Mindfactory has some good deals on a few parts.

Hi LTT-Community! I've decided to finally build a gaming PC myself. After doing some research and choosing some parts, I decided that I need some help. I used logicalincrements.com for parts recommendations and picked some parts from different builds. I came up with this setup: Case: NZXT S340 PSU: Seasonic M12II-520 (520 Watts) Mainboard: Asus Z170 Pro Gaming CPU: Intel Core i5-6600k RAM: Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Single DDR4 GPU: Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 6GB CPU-Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo Storage: SanDisk SSD PLUS 240GB Sata III Those are German amazon links, I hope this won't cause problems. I already have a few HDD's, so i chose to not buy a new one and save some money there. All in all these parts should cost around 1000€, which is already more than I was planning to spend. I have a few concerns with these parts, so here are my questions: Is a 520 Watt PSU enough for the parts i chose? The power consumption of the GPU, CPU and Cooler add up to around 220 Watts, which would leave around 300 Watts for the mainboard, RAM, HDD, SSD and various USB devices. I wasn't able to find out how much the mainboard itself would consume. Are there any parts that would interfere with each other? I'm not planning to do serious overclocking, so I picked a rather cheap cooler. Is the one I chose good enough to cool the 6600k? Thanks in advance, Leo :-) English isn't my main language, so please excuse any misused words or grammatical errors. It would be nice if you could point those out. Also it's my first time posting here, I hope I didn't disobey any community guidelines or rules.
