Final build! Any suggestions?

[SarfM786]

This is my final build anything wrong with this or any suggestions

Why not get a Z170?

Also, $50-$60 air coolers are better than AIOs at that price range.

[johnno124]

your going with a locked CPU so the stock Cooler should be enough.

if you are planning to overclock then get the i5-6600k

 

[SarfM786]

Um is 500w enough for this build?

[paps511]

You may want to upgrade the PSU. Raidmax does not have the highest reputation, and everything else in the build is quite nicely picked.

 

Also 120gb ssd may be a bit small for the os and other stuff. I upgraded after only 1 year. Wanted to get a 250-500 size.

moved to new build planning

@Sarfaraz There are a few things wrong with it. Let's start with the first thing.

Why the H60? You don't need a big CPU cooler because you can't overclock.

Maybe 250 GB SSD instead of the 120.

Why a 430 dollar GPU with a 40 dollar PSU? Get a better one ( around 80-100 dollars EVGA/Corsair)

You sure you're fine with the CM storm Combo? You don't want a great mouse and keyboard?

And get a windows 10 key for 20 dollars at kinguin

A few items...

 

If you are in CAD.

 

1. You can't OC ram (faster than 2400) on a non-z170 mobo. And that mobo is expensive. So I dropped down to much cheaper but basically as good ram, a same price z170 mobo and a hyper 212 since the h60 isn't great anyways.

2.120GB SSDs and 1TB HDDs not only preform much worse than but also cost significantly more/gb than their higher capacity brethren. Hence I have doubled both storage device quantity while keeping the price nigh identical combined.

3. That particular 1070 is insanely overpriced... Swapped to the G1.

4. Raidmax PSU is both overpriced and bad. Swapped to a GS 550, a very highly rated fully modular unit.

5. While I didn't fix it on this list, you really really should buy a OS via r/microsoftsoftwareswap or G2A or whatever. Save yourself 80 CAD.

6. McAfee Security suite is neither needed nor helpful over the combination of freeware Windows Defender and Malwarebytes.

easily. See my above comments...

[brob]

PSU is an awful choice, http://www.hardocp.com/article/2014/03/18/raidmax_cobra_power_500w_supply_review/9#.V3w4uBXyuUk

 

Drop the fans and put the money into a better psu choice.

 

Drop the McAfee AV and go with the free for home use AVG or Avast AV products.

 

I would stick with the stock cooler that comes with the cpu. Drop the thermal compound, it is not needed.

 

I would recommend a larger ssd.

 

Do you really need an optical drive?

Not unless you get a z-series mobo. And I highly recommend considering the parts adjustments I made in the previous post.

 

I shaved 500 CAD off the total price while keeping everything as good or better in functionality.

Im thinking about that build but since the mobo is z170 shouldnt i just get the 6600k?

I mean if you can spare the extra cash, YES! But I didn't want to go willy-nilly on it without asking.

 

Even with the 6600, the z170 platform will help with letting you use faster ram among other things.

Take @Curufinwe_wins build and replace the 212 Evo with a Cryorig M9i or BeQuiet! PURE ROCK. Depending on it one or both should be the same or cheaper than the 212 Evo and are quieter and around the same or better than the Evo. M9i very similar, quieter and PURE ROCK 5-8C better.

Also, maybe look into the AsRock Z170 Pro4, I think with that Z170A MSI board you could BCLK to 3.5-3.7GHz and maybe higher w/ AF cooler but a Pro4 would allow for possibly 4GHz.

I mean sure, those are fair alternatives, I just thought the pro4 looked like trash haha.

It's fine, but I wouldn't recommend a founders edition gpu. There are cheaper AIB ones, and they preform much much better.

The CM storm bundle is pretty good imo...

The mouse was quite good and the keyboard was nice
