1 Af120 to match with the fan included in the case

Get a better PSU like the CX450M, this one is sketchy af

You're sacrificing a lot to shove a 1070 into that, honestly.  I would drop to an RX 580 and upgrade the Power Supply to a 650W modular and get an SSD.

 

Also, there's a forum for New Builds and Planning.  Post these there, not in General Discussion.

Why ? Its already been discussed on here a few times, anything over 550 for a single TOP TIER card is overkill. for a RX580/1070 you can easily go 450w and have lots of headroom. 

 

@CadetSparklez actually a solid build. Only thing swap the Corsair AF for the SP, linus has done videos on it, the SP matches the AF for air flow but it can also be used with rads. so same look and all that but least you can get a double use out of it. BUT big one here, I'd look at ditching the HDD and rather finding a way for a 240gb SSD. it will make such a performance increase and once he saves up laters its super easy to just add a HDD. Yes he won't be able to horde movies and music but if he's gaming the performance gain is completely worth it. 

[MercuryRain]

Why? because all the power supplies I've ever dealt with below 650W are sketch AF. 

 

EVGA SuperNOVA and Corsair AXi/RMx are my go-to choices.

 

Mostly I was saying that any PSU under $40 (really under $50) is sketch to me, and that I would much rather have an SSD than the slight bump from RX 580 to 1070.

[Icefly]

I got an i7 7700, Asus Prime Z270-A, 2x8gb Hyperx FURY 2400 ram and a GTX 1070 Super Jetstream from Palit.

All that with a 650W Power Supply. I guess 450W will be enough.

 

But having more in your Power Supply is always better and saver.

[titantobin]

I personally would put more money on the CPU so it doesn't bottleneck, otherwise its all good.

Not worth skipping out on so much just to cram a 1070 into the build tbh.

[Damascus]

Swapped down to a  nice RX 580 and dropped the fans, got a much, much better CPU and threw in a ssd.  A more balanced build all around.

Ikr, its just on sale for 20, I can sub for a 500b but 450w should be fine, I usually go by adding 100w to the suggested amount

You are aware wattage isn't a measure of quality right?

[CadetSparklez]

He is just gaming so that's why only went with a quad core/8 thread, here is my personal one though

yeah but evga and corsair are generally good, but I mean I can just add on $15 for a better one, he has a budget of $1000

Heads up, NEX isn't worth the amount you'd end up paying for it. You can get a better quality PSU for cheaper.

true

[CadetSparklez]

Picking purely off brand is a bad idea as well. EVGA has some extremely good PSUs, no doubt.( b2, Gq, gs, g3, etc.) however, they have just as many lackluster and poor quality ones. (NEX, B1, N1, etc) As for the case, that's purely user based and subjective.

Efficiency isn't a direct measure of quality either btw.

I don't know why that seems expensive...

 

Then again I might be spoiled

[CadetSparklez]

Right now the cheapest would be this one https://pcpartpicker.com/product/kz7CmG/evga-power-supply-210gq0650

 

but nex is the cheapest fully modular rn

wait yours is more than mine lol

[CadetSparklez]

Mine is including a mouse/keyboard and display btw

 

also your 4770k is $0 for some reason

[MercuryRain]

I was referring to the $2,011 list. but I also don't have a PCIe SSD, I'm two generations behind on Intel CPUs, annnnd I have way more HDDs than I have any right to be running lol.

 

My 4770k was free - I bought a full build off a guy on craigslist, took the 4770K and sold the rest of that system piecemeal for more money than I'd paid for the system and my original 4570K combined.

These are my first builds so I don't have a lot of experience with which ones are good, any suggestions?
