Hi guys, I am building a new pc with a budget of 1000$, I don't mind going over as long as it's not too much. What I have in mind so far is this:

Arctic fan F14 PWM PST

Adata SU800 SSD SATA III 2.5" 128GB

Intel Core i5-8600k 3.6GHz 9MB

Seagate BarraCuda 2TB HDD

MB Z370 S1151 ATX/Z370P D3 GIGABYTE

PSU EVGA 500W, 80 PLUS

2x Ballistix Sport LT Red 8GB DDR4 2666MHz

Deepcool cooling AC Neptwin V2

ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5

I am a beginner at this kind of stuff, so I would appreciate anyone's help on this build.

For your SSD i would advise you to get at least 256 GB, because 128 is a little slim. Other than that it seems fine ;)

US pricing? The PSU you have is absolute garbage, motherboard's somewhat bad, SSD is too small in capacity, and GTX 1060s are often overpriced compared to RX 580s. The 9600k cost similar to the 8600k but is soldered so it gets better thermals, so that's a potential candidate. Of course the best option is to go Ryzen and pour more budget to the graphics card

CPU: i7-2600K 4751MHz 1.44V (software) --> 1.47V at the back of the socket Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (BCLK: 103.3MHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: Adata XPG 2x8GB DDR3 (XMP: 2133MHz 10-11-11-30 CR2, custom: 2203MHz 10-11-10-26 CR1 tRFC:230 tREFI:14000) GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual (Super Jetstream vbios, +70(2025-2088MHz)/+400(8.8Gbps)) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (main boot drive), Transcend SSD370 128GB PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold Case: Antec P110 Silent, 5 intakes 1 exhaust Monitor: AOC G2460PF 1080p 144Hz (150Hz max w/ DP, 121Hz max w/ HDMI) TN panel Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion (Cherry MX Blue) with SteelSeries Apex M260 keycaps Mouse: BenQ Zowie FK1

The limit is 1200$, the money goes only on the pc parts, monitor, mouse, all that stuff is already taken care of, the pc will be used for gaming.
