Building new pc [help?]

[KoSBlindFire]

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/YH24qk i was wondering if this is still good (already have ddr4 16 gb ram, 750w 80+ gold psu, and storage devices) Please don't recommend different case or gpu, my mind is set on those (case is my stupid splurge item(cuz i like it), and gpu is already a stable trustworthy gpu, and I don't want to get one of the newest ones.. I know stubborn sorry..) so aside from that, I was wondering if the rest is good to go for gaming, or if there are smarter/ better options..?

[BobSagettttt]

You will want a secondary drive that's larger where you can actually put the games themselves on it. 1 or 2 TB will work just fine.

Trust me, 240GB fills up too quickly  but the chosen pieces are all good. You will want to upgrade to an i7 in a few years though, 15 uses about half power on most new games

solid build bro, all thumbs up on me

yeah, i did mention i had storage devices already though  

[Moress]

This should be posted under new builds.

Otherwise I don't see anything wrong with it.

I know you said not to, but the GTX 970 is outperformed by the new 1060 for the same price... Can't not post that in good conscience.

I just don't know anything about em yet.. are they reliable/trustworthy?

Yeah, if you like nvidia more the 1060 is a good option

[Fungal]

These should easily outperform any 970

Didn't the 1060's just come out? Do we know if they are solid yet?

[Moress]

They just came out but the reviewers had them for a good bit of time before they released to test them. Theyre reliable and perform around a GTX 980.

Other thoughts: You want overclock? IF NO: get a non k processor and save 100$

Would you mind Liquid cooler? IF NO: ADD the 110i from corsair.

Want a better MB? ADD the Z170 A or the DELUXE editon from ASUS.

 

Reason for change:

There's no reason to get the 1060 instead of the 970.

Add the Enthoo pro. best case of the market as far as i know. also cost less.

Add 2TB of hybrid.

rest is the same.

I am stubbornly keeping the case i had in my list, but the gpu, (1060) I will be changing, and I already have a 2tb storage, and thanks for the recommendation of ssd.

[pinksnowmanshandle]

I'm planning building something similar towards the end of the year. But I must agree with everyone else, at this point the 970 isn't really a good deal. 
The RX 480 (both variants) are on par or outperform it for less and the 1060 crushes it for a little bit more.

 

Personally, I'd suggest the 480 because it's $/frame (at least for the 8GB model) is just slightly better than the 1060.

 

The power draw seems to only technically be around a 30w difference. Though I will admit the 1060 does have a better perf/watt ratio than the 480. But this has been true for Nvidia cards for as long as I've paid attention to PC hardware (circa 2014).

Also, what cpu would i get if i weren't doing oc? Also I'd rather not have water cooling..

We dont have the AIB cards though and those are coming out over time. He'd have to wait like a month for his build

I mean. there's the AIO (All in One) coolers. that is just Plug 'n Use.

 

Example

The Corsair 115i

Spoiler

This AIO will do better temps than Air solution coolers.

 

I think you missundestood me i also will build a pc but i dont want make custom liquid loops so i go with the easy way of AIO coolers.

and thats good for any games right? ( sorry fairly new to all this )

[Antony Leung]

Any CPU i5 should be good to all. as long as it does not bottleneck the GPU, FOR GAMES. i think a i5 6500 would not bottleneck a 1060. but take my word as a grain of salt. GO AND RESARCH EVERYTHING. that should answer all your question. and remember google is your friend.

 

Also use common sense, and dont buy a i5 350 or older processor that exist before the skylake.
