Hello this is my first build and I am not sure if it's any good.

I already have the motherboard,case and thermal compound and they cannot be changed now.

My Goal:

 

Gaming

60fps

high to ultra settings

                                                         Here is the build link:https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/ch2mXP

Desktop

multitasking

 

Media Creation

None.

 

I want to play fortnite, no mans sky, Minecraft, yu-gi-oh duel links and universe sandbox 2

Are there any bottlenecks and can I cheapen up on anything without drastically decreasing performance?

 

THX!!!

I would help if you got dual stick ram instead of one and a better power supply.

you do know that the only reason pcs have a performance limit is that it is bottlenecked right?

probs the 1060 though

I live in misery USA. my timezone is central daylight time which is either UTC -5 or -4 because the government hates everyone.

into trains? here's the model railroad thread!

Upgrading the gpu will up the cost a bit much.A dual channel memory and a better psu will be a more wise choise in my opinion.

Replace the 1060 with RX580/8GiB and the Pure Power 11 350W with the 400W and you're golden.

I think they need a better psu for the rx580.

why? RX580 requires around 200w under heavy load. But you can easily fine tune it to consume roughly 160-170watts without significant detrimental effect on performance.

 

A QUALITY 400w Psu is fine for a 580...

Life is really challenging. I don't always suceed: )

I agree but the psu is a bronze 350watts thats why i recommended a change.

I'll see what I can do on uk pcpartpicker. Because I found the OP's original build less than reassuring (mobo, single-channel ram kit, poorly cooled 1060..)

Why I'd suggest this?

- Better Motherboard

- Better RAM-s

- Same CPU

- Better Graphics Card

- okay-ish quality PSU, though entry level, but certainly not a fire hazard

- That case is reasonably built for it's price, and comes with lot of fans&option for cooling.

- The SSD&HDD are cheap but reliable and offer great price:performance ratio.

 

You can cut a few quids via getting 2x4GB ram instead of 2x8GB, or opting for a smaller SSD (250GiB for your system&1-2 games.. the rest can fit on the HDD). I believe this package would be a sound choice for the OP, @sans421

Life is really challenging. I don't always suceed: )

I have looked over your comments and I believe this is okay. Correct me if i'm wrong.

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/2z6L8Y

 

 

Here is why I chose this:

 

CPU-Its good 6 cores with oc 3.8ghz at least

Ram- I just listened to Vejnemojnen

Mobo- I already bought it

GPU- most people said get it

Case- bought it already

PSU- most people said get it

Storage- I already have a decent 1tb hdd and I would like a fast ssd

 

Thanks for your help!
