Gaming pc build

Go to solution Solved by jtchimesin,

You should be fine with a good 600w PSU. Also, you don't really need a "gaming" motherboard unless your tasks are really specific, you could probably cut $50 on that. And you definitely need more storage, 120gb is only good for a few games.

Hello again,


What do you think about this build? Any help is appreciated.


 


CPU: i5-6600k 277.65$

I have old hdds for games. Which z170 motherboard would you prefer for overclocking?

You should be able to get away just fine with this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157635 

Maybe you can take the money you saved on this and get a 240GB SSD
