850$ Gaming pc, help needed.

[hjalli3]

A while ago I posted a 800 dollar gaming I planned on building and asked if there was anything wrong with it. since then I have updated it and put (Hopefully) better parts in it. This is my first build and I would like to ask some of you pros out there some questions about this build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Jrm6TW

 

1) is 600 watts enough, I showed my friend the build and he said I needed a bigger power supply but pc part picker says its gonna draw 435w so 600w is enough, right?

2) is there a better choice for a case? (note: it must have a window, I want to see the beauty of pc hardware and I will be getting led strip lights to put inside the case to make it look better)

3) is there some way of fitting a 240gb ssd in there without going over budget?

 

ps. I now that I don't need a z170 motherboard with a non k cpu but it's such a good choice and it wil allow me to upgrade to an i7 6700k in the future.

thank you in advance.

You could go with a 970 instead of the 390. It's about $30-40 cheaper so you could get the 240gb SSD.

Price is 289.99 + The Division 

Free game and 289.99 sounds like a steal to me

This would save you some money(i think an i7-6700k is not needed an i5 is good enough to play games smoothly):

Also, IMO double the vram is worth it for $10. And AMD is doing a game promo with a bunch of there shit:

Whats wrong with the PSU? Is 600w not enough?

It´s not the wattage, it´s the quality of the psu that makes it a no.

AKA, poor quality PSU can at the very least reduce the lifespan of components drastically, if not kill them outright when it dies within a year or 2-found that out the hard way with a USB 2.0 card reader, 4x HDD, USB 3.0 PCIe card and 3 motherboards.
