help with my first build

[Chobischtroumpf]

Hey everyone, I'm building my first desktop computer ever, and I wanted to get some advice. I'm a long time watcher of LTT, so I already know some of the important stuff, but I'm not a pro so I might be doing things wrong.

I have already made a list of parts using pcpartpicker.com so here's the link : https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/list/GWrVP3  my budget is of about 950 Euro so I'm already a Bit overbudget. (if you give suggestion can you tell me the difference in price in euro ?).

My aim with this computer is 3D work, gaming and a slight touch of video editing (and by gaming I mean games like the last far cry or PUBG)

I already have a monitor, a crappy one but it works so I guess its fine for now, I'll buy one at a later date when I'll have more money

I also already have peripherals, but am looking for a bigger mouse, the mouse needs to be at least 14-15 cm long

and im upgrading cause well... I'm on a macbook air 2012 right now so cant really do anything on that

 

EDIT : would there be an AMD equivalent to the 1060 that I can use, that would possibly be cheaper ?

It looks good, but if you can wait till Wednesday at CES, AMD might have some great cheap cpu’s

[Chobischtroumpf]

I can wait a month, so I'll wait and see, but I don't know much about AMD's cpu's except the ones that are shown on Linus's videos so unless their from the ryzen family, ill need some help with that

(also maybe reread the post, I had clicked the enter button by mistake and didnt have the time to edit everythig back in before you replied)

Looks good, but I'd replace the SSD for something like a 860 EVO or Crucial BX/MX. Looks good otherwise however

would a 970 EVO with 250Gb be ok ? my friends and my brother tell me to get an m.2 rather than a SATA ssd, I don't know if it makes such a big difference though ?

A M.2 SSD isn't needed. It will be faster, but for games and normal computing tasks? It won't make any difference

okidoki, also, I already have a Bose wifi speaker that can also do aux, do you recommend me keeping that one as the computer's speaker or should I buy new speakers such as the ones in my part list?

 

edit : I ask because I'm now 30 euro overbudget and I wanna avoid that (the more I spend on my desktop computer, the less I have on my laptop computer that I need to buy)

That build is pretty good, but it won't look asthetically pleasing.

I'll recommend the following changes to be made...

Upgrade to an atx Mobo, preferably a b450 one.

Get a better ssd, something like a 860 Evo or mx500.

look again, I'd forgotten to update the link, I actually changed for just what you had said (also because the website was saying that with the mobo I had there could be some compatibility issues with the processor)

is it better now ? also what would you say about the speaker ?

in a previous comment I was talking about it :
