OC Build

[darkninja8888]

Hi this is my build http://pcpartpicker.com/list/7qQw6X. I want some help with reviewing it and making nothing is a cheap part or will it bottleneck. I was also wondering about what to clock it to or if it can overclock at all. Thanks!

If you plan to overclock, you will need a higher W PSU, plus, the RX are ox, but the AXi series are the best.

Get a AXi 760, and you will be fine

Not necessarily true. I have a SuperNova 650W NEX and I overclocked my 4690k to 4.5Ghz no problem. The 6600k runs more effecient as well as the 1070 than my 970. Very nice build. Would recommend to anyone. You will be able to overclock just fine. I would recommend getting the P400s case. It adds more padding to help it keep silent. The keyboard is fine, just don't expect it be a "gaming" keyboard with mech switches.

Ya I know I plan to upgrade the keyboard later

I just wanted him to have a little bit of headroom.

I always make sure I have atleast 150-200W extra incase of any huge jumps in power draw for whatever reason, or if I plan to add an expansion card (that isn't a graphics card)

650 watts is more than enough plus extra.

 

The build is very good, but that monitor...  If you are looking to game at 1080p 60hz, you are wasting your money on the GTX 1070.  You might as well get the RX 480 or wait for GTX 1060.  Either of those two should give you 60 fps at 1080p in any game.

 

If you really want the 1070, you need more money for a better monitor.  I suggest looking for either a high refresh rate 1080p 144hz, or look at 1440p.

Any ideas for a 1080 P at 144 hz?
