Planned on building a first PC. Need some tips/help and maybe some changes before i get into it!

[RightSide]

Hello LinusTechTips.com! I'm a new member of this forum, but an old fan of Linus. (But enough about that)

 

I am planing about building my first PC. And i don't want it to be "done" for me. So i tried to go in to the deep internet, and look for some parts, that could maybe work togther. (I couldnt decide couple things, so thats why i am here!)

And maybe the parts wont be fitting with each other - so that would also be sad from my side.

For a case - Corsair Graphite 230 T. Motherboard - Asus z170 pro gaming. Ram - Corsair vengeance DDR4 16 GB. CPU - Intel core i5-6600 and GPU MSI GTX 1070 (or just any 1070's out there).

Im planing on maybe Recording(not heavy recording) or just playing games. I play games like CSGO, LoL, WoW (atm because my Pc is not that good). But plan on playing the new games aswell. And i don't want to liquid cool it. Because i am not feeling that "safe" about it ^^

Feel free to say, what do you think i should swap. And maybe help me with fill the rest of the parts that i need. 

I got about 1,500 $ in total! 

 

I hope some of you cool dudes can help me!

 

P.s if it helps, i live in Denmark.

Are you going to OC?

You chose a Z170 motherboard (a board meant to OC) and a i5 6600 (a locked CPU).

Oh. Did not know alot about the Z170, just heared that it's a great board.

 

And no - i do not plan to OC.

At your price point, you might as well get an i7 6700K.

 

The 4 extra threads for hyperthreading will help you with recording.

 

I know I hit a little bit of a wall with my I5 3570 @ 4ghz where I would get that extra oomph from the additional threads.

 

I would also suggest, since you have the budget, to use a WD Black drive as your recording and editing drive, as that is designed for those types of work loads.

I mean i still need fans? Dont i ? And a power supply. 

+ Storage place

[Jon Jon]

The case comes with 3 fans, so that is plenty.

 

As for the power supply, I would suggest a Corsair modular PSU so you only need to connect the cables that you need.

 

I personally have a CX750.

 

You can use this to determine what you need:

As for a storage place..that would be for your hard drive tray that comes with the case.

I mean ssd/hdd? 

[Jon Jon]

I typically run SSD for OS/applications and HDD for storage.

 

That will be up to you really, as some people get those SSHDs from Seagate and are happy, Some are running M2.

 

That stuff you will need to research, as there is no real WRONG way to do it other than running your OS off of a regular old HDD.

So basicly, the case is good enough, and i should change the MOBO to a more regular one. 

Maybe get the i7-6700k

And get maybe 256 GB ssd and a little maybe ~500 gb HDD?

So i used a little time, and just went on Partpicker. What do you think? 

 

EDIT: I went on the shops in my country, and simply looked how much it costs in my country.

So just look at this list http://prntscr.com/bvoqss
