Feedback on system parts

[SirGrunt]

Hello,

 

I have been skulking around the forums looking for some help but i have finally decided on my final parts list. I would like some feedback to see if i didnt mess something up.

 

Total price is €969.65 including shipping when i actually buy my parts.

! note : the ram i buy is a 2*8gb kit but i couldnt find that exact kit on partpicker so i took the 4*8gb for demonstration purposes.

The additional P120 fan is meant to be used for the front intake, other 2 fans (included in case) are in the back.

it also comes with 3 free games due to an AMD action (1 from cpu and  2 from GPU) and an anti static wristband (this last one forces me to pay €2 but its worth it i think).

 

Issues / questions

1. I can get a MSI GTX1060 6GB Gaming for exactly the same price as this RX580 so its hard to decide
2. Certain PC assembly YT video's (from very popular YTers) tell me to update the motherboard UEFI once the build is complete and it starts. This is however an extremely risky maneuvre (since it could kill it if power falls out). Is this necessairy because i would rather avoid that if possible.
3. If i run into issues when assembling it and get to the final stage where i have to take off the stock CPU cooler (with included thermal paste). Will i then have to buy additional thermal paste and removers or can i just stick it back on again? (i assume its the new thermal paste route)

 

EDIT: i changed the RX580 for the GTX1060 mainly due to much lower power consumption and similar/identical performance

Should get a case with a mesh front for airflow like the Fractal Focus G, the H500 is going to run hot in general.

 

If the R7 1700 is around the same price probably get that instead just to have the extra cores.

 

The RX 580 8GB is likely the way to go for the bit of extra VRAM.

It's unlikely something bad happens trying to flash the bios, just gotta read the instructions mostly.

 

Not going to be worth the premium price for NZXT fans.
