Hi there. i am thinking of building my first mid range gaming pc. Clearly i am a newbie here, it would be great if you could help.

my specs : cabinet - Coolermaster K380

processor- Intel core i5 6400 2.7 Ghz

motherboard- Asus z170 pro gaming 

gpu- Nvidia Geforce gtx 1060 or amd rx 480 

psu- corsair sreies cx750

ssd- samsung 750 evo 120 GB

hddd- WD1TB 

Cpu cooler-Cooler Master Hyper 103 Essential CPU Air cooler 

 

Suggest me are there better alternative components for this build and I am completely confused about which ram module should i use (ddr4 or ddr3, Dual channel or quad channel). also is the motherboard apt for this build. Tks

The z170 board is if you want to overclock, do you plan to overclock in future? if you do, the z170 pro gaming is a great MOBO ogt one myself

- SSUPD Meshlicous - Z170I - i7-6700K - Gigabyte 2080 - 16GB Corsair Vengance - 850 EVO 1TB - H115i ICUE Link- SF600

Dzal chanel DDR4 is enough.

 

Can you get i5 6500 or 6600k in your budget?

I mean you are buying Z170 motherboard for overclocking, together with locked chip.

 

Don't do same mistake as I did. I still regret not buying K version with my Z97 motherboard.

So frindly suggestion: get i6 6600k :)

Intel i7 12700K | Gigabyte Z690 Gaming X DDR4 | Pure Loop 240mm | G.Skill 3200MHz 32GB CL14 | CM V850 G2 | RTX 3070 Phoenix | Lian Li O11 Air mini

Samsung EVO 960 M.2 250GB | Samsung EVO 860 PRO 512GB | 4x Be Quiet! Silent Wings 140mm fans

WD My Cloud 4TB

And the RAM ???

You can take a look at all of the Tech that I own and have owned over the years in my About Me section and on my Profile.

 

I'm Swiss and my Mother language is Swiss German of course, I speak the Aargauer dialect. If you want to watch a great video about Swiss German which explains the language and outlines the Basics, then click here.

 

If I could just play Videogames and consume Cool Content all day long for the rest of my life, then that would be sick.
