Thinking of This Build for a PC

This is the build I have decided on after researching for a bit. I would like some suggestions if possible. I am thinking of keeping the option of upgrading parts or adding new parts such as an HHD. I have a monitor, headset, and other accessories like that. I would like the keep in a similar price range or lower since it will be for gaming. Thank you!

1. 212 Evo is bad value when there are better coolers out there for same or less price. Just because it's popular doesn't mean it's good

Check this: (personally I'd get a Cryorig H7 or H5)

 

2. I am not sure about Rosewill Valens @Energycore

3. Since you have a Z270 board, get a 7600k. The cost difference isn't much and Kaby has higher overclocking potential

4. Look at RX 580 instead of GTX 1060  

5. SanDisk Plus is pretty mediocre http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/7726/sandisk-ssd-plus-z410-sata-iii-review/index10.html

Stay away from MSI or Gigabyte. Asus, ASRock, EVGA, Zotac... are good brands. My friend worst experience with MSI and Gigabyte (Every 2-4 weeks Motherboard or GPU will be on repair -.-)

Worse CPU cooler and no price on it

NVME drive? That's a waste of money

Eh your friend just got bad luck, haven't heard much issues from MSI or Gigabyte

And you are overpaying by 60 dollars for virtually no performance improvement

:| NVME DRIVE WTF ? IT IS M.2 DRIVE. I will rather take Skylake than Kaby Lake or Ryzen cause Win 10 honestly is whore shit; Unstable, bad, almost none of the games I play work on it. It is bad Win in general.

I have that CPU cooler and works without any issues. My PC is daily stressed with VM's and it is very VERY quiet (I always put 4 cores with 8 GB's in VM)

Take it you haven't seen any i5 vs 1600 reviews :P 4c/4ts are dead and those i7s are not for the tasks you mentioned, that would be the 6800k, 6900k, 6950X

 

EDIT: @domandric034 you are either a troll or making yourself look a fool. Aside from the telemetry bull crap win10 is a great OS. you are wrong about the processors and the SSDs. Please do some research, your kind of advice does damage and can waste the money of the less informed.

M.2 is the connector, nvme is the protocol over which the data is transferred, so it is correct.

 

Some people might disagree with W10 being trash. Ryzen is better suited for heavier workloads.

A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT DO NOT USE X99 CHIPSET NEITHER CPU'S FROM THAT GEN. A LOT OF PEOPLE USE 6700K SO THAT IS NOT REALLY TRUE :\

And another reason why I hate W10 is GOD FUCKING INTERFACE SO UNORGANIZED AND MICROSOFT DO YOU EVER HEAR YOUR COMMUNITY STOP PUTTING SHITTY METRO APPS INSIDE WINDOWS

This is what I got from the advice, what did I get wrong still. I put I5 7600k, but it showed an incompatibility issue with bios updates.

Get a single 1080 or 1070. Don't get 480 in Crossfire, it has issues

A 7600k should work with Z270 without any BIOS issue

Also swap out to a Corsair CXM, Seasonic S12II instead. They are better PSU than Rosewill Valens

And swap out SSD to a SK Hynix SL308 for example

Yes thats the problem with Kaby Lake. You'll have to research which board has compatible UEFI for Kaby Lake CPU's

Well you could ask OP if they have a preference instead then.

Still highly suggest this instead, as a 1600 is more future proof and has better minimums.

Yeah, and for productivity at this point 6700k is useless as Ryzen is out.

I'd also personally suggest getting a 1600 instead, as it has better minimums. 7600k isn't a horrible choice but IMO 1600 is a better one.
