Get a better quality PSU. And don't spend near $300 for a 480.

Curious why you got white RAM as your theme appears to be red and black.

This is a better way of spending 1000 dollars

The RAM is an odd choice. White? Might not look that great.

I'd also get a better PSU. It is the heart of the system, after all.

[MARK-dam]

dont get asus rx 480
and get msi gtx 1060 gaming x

[Jann1123]

I looked up Asus RX480 coz it has 3 fans compared to other labels that have 2.
And have read that rx480 has some heat issues on some labels then went with 3 fan Asus.
I'm living in EU so the price for MSI 480 is 315€ +/- and Asus 480 is 325€ +/-

Yea the RAM is white have to look if there are some other brands for the same price and performance but black, ty tho.

 asus strix is expensive for no thing and rx 480 is kind of a hot card
but the gtx 1060 very cool and with msi cooling the temp cant go over 68

Yea, RX480 has heat issues i know but have looked many comparisons on both 480 and 1060.
And what i have understood is that 480 is better choice for future gaming then 1060.
(i'm not planning to upgrade my pc after this build for 2 years)

[stealth80]

dont get 4x4 gb, you're cutting off future upgrades, grab 2x8gb

[MARK-dam]

rx is better for future because of the cross fire but with 2 hot cards mmm

i would go with gtx 1060 and after those 2 years or may be 3 buy another card of the new Gen (not less than 3 years)

Get Corsair Vengeance LPX, or vengeance LED

[sam_fisher007]

Rx480 was great when it was released for its price to performance ratio. But nvidias 1060 has struck a hole in my inner amd fan boi heart. If you choose the Rx480 get the xfx card. Its by far the best board design giving it great clock speeds and lower temps.

The 480 can be aquired in either 4gb or 8gb, more that the 1060s 3gb. Games are becoming more vram hungry. Also more vram and faster memory will give advantage with higher resolution.  But this particular case the 1060 is choice. 

 

Also the 1060 would be more suited with this evga 500w. 

[Jann1123]

Okei did some numbers and similar builds:

My Original build (with new PSU) 1166.70€ price for me (EU)

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KXdZ9W
 

deXxterlab97 Build with some changes 1271.10€ price for me (EU)
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cB6JgL
 

 

My NEW Modified build 1224€ price for me (EU)

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LThbTH


So my new question is is the gtx1070 worth the extra € in long run compared to rx480.

And is there any big difference between these 2 for example (long run/gaming)
Gigabyte gtx 1070
Price in Estonia (where is live) 481.60€
and
Gigabyte gtx 1070 extreme gaming
Price in Estonia 566.70€


And is the ASRock z170A-XI mobo compared to MSI M5 pointless? Coz 1 costs 127€ and msi 178€ for me.

Cheers guys 4 the help/tips

The modified build is great, however don't get that PSU, try and grab an EVGA G2 if possible

Corsair CX500W 80Plus Bronze 65€
EVGA G2 550W 80Plus Gold 118€

Thats a big extra € for a psu, is it worth it ?

Link to the shop where i'm gonna buy the components and the PSU's cost Much more then compared to US ><

you can consider the cx550m, seasonic s/m12ii instead if the G2 is too expensive, both are much better than the CX500M.

[Jann1123]

Okei i'm gonna find the extra 30smth € for better PSU, considering you guys say that proper PSU is a must.
(Seasonic m12ii 97€) so extra 32€ if i go with that

But still have question about my gtx1070 comparison that i stated above and mobo question also.

From my original Build swapping Samsung EVO for ScanDisc (30€ cheaper) is it worth it? or better pay the extra 30€ to get more reliable SSD lable.

Get a MSI, ASUS, EVGA, Zotac, or PNY 1070 instead

Are the factory "OC" GPU's that much better (game performance wise) then original "no factory OC", because the price is about 50-125€ higher on the "OC" cards (differs for labels)

No, only very slightly better. just get the cheaper card and overclock it if you really want the performance.

i didnt talk about 3gb
he wanted asus strix rx480 and it is the same price as msi gtx 1060 6g
and 1080p gaming doesn't need more than 6gb of vram

[TheDankKoosh]

This should do well and it gives you all the features (ssd, lots of storage, and just general good build quality)
