Hello. I'm trying to essentially upgrade from years of playing on a mediocre laptop (Which would run Overwatch only on the lowest settings/render @ 35-60~ at best, and TF2/CSGO around 60+ depending on situations) to something that can actually run something like R6 without needing to be at a horribly small resolution and low settings.

I'm trying to keep everything below $850 USD, and so far I have, however I am mainly looking advice on the parts I currently have selected in mind, to see if there's anything I could swap for better value/price, or that may cause an issue by itself.

I only plan on a single monitor for the time being.

My main concerns would be the MB as it has some noted cons with spacing issues, the GPU being the most expensive part right now, and I'm unsure if there will be enough cooling for everything.

Also, if there's any extra parts/wires/etc. I might need, or just general advice/feedback, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

 

Update: Tweaked some stuff based on recommendations. If there isn't anything else to say about this, then I'll probably be going with it after a bit more searching. Thanks to those who tossed some suggestions my way.

Update 2: More changes. If anyone comes across this with any more feed back, I'm open to it.

Here's something you might want to consider:

 

 

The Meshify is a very good case, you might want to add a few fans for good airflow.

Noted.

Might I ask why the 1660S would be better than the 1660 TI? Aside from being about 10$ cheaper, since the TI has slightly better performance. Unless you only swapped it due to price.

Otherwise thanks.

Not sure if I'd prefer going that high on the GPU in regards to price, but I'll probably swap back to the MS30, and check out the MB and RAM.

Thanks.

The 1660S and 1660ti are very similar in specs and performance. There's not much difference really, other than the prices you mentioned. I just put it there because it was newer than the TI and the EVGA was a better brand in my opinion.
