My first build [help?]

[Mauricio Silva]

My budget is about 900 US to spend on a computer that I want to build. Used pcpartpicker to confirm the compatibility between components and so far I found everything on Amazon for about 750 US (missing peripherals). But I wanted to know what you think about it? Is it good so far? Am I mistaken with the parts I'm picking out? (I attached an image with all the components so far or go to https://amzn.com/w/WXWB09XSEQ1 which is the list I also made on Amazon.com).

Do not get AMD CPU currently, as they have very bad per core performance. This should get put up as a banner on creating an account.

Also 970 is a waste of time with the new GTX 1060 and RX 480 being out.

[SukaroBlue]

it's okay. the cpu doesn't have a very good upgrade path though.

I'd go with an Intel CPU, and an RX 480. Don't go AMD.

Also, are you planning on adding more storage later? If you plan on playing games you'll quickly run out with a 240GB drive.

Yes I do plan to add probably a 3TB HDD to store games, the SSD I plan to install only the OS. What intel CPU do you recommend?

i5 6500 if you can fit it in the budget.

Don't listen to everyone saying OOH BUY INTEl. Intel doesn't deliver the best performance for its money. Not only the Intel cpu is going to be much more expensive, but the motherboard will be too. In the end you will give 150-250 dollars more for the same if not less performance.

Edit: Replace the 970 with RX-480 or a 1060

Depends if you want to overclock or not.

i should of pointed out the gpu i'm just used to 970's being the standard gpu i guess. don't get a 970 get a 1060 or a rx 480 if you can find one. 970 aren't worth it anymore.

If I would consider overclocking what CPU would be good ? i5 6500?

a used GTX 970 for about 180$ is a great deal to me

[Mauricio Silva]

Switching for a 1060 seems like a great idea, what's missing would be the CPU, I would like to know what CPU around 200 US you recommend.

that's what makes used so great.

What do you guys think about an i5-4460 (3.2 GHz) for 190 US or i5-6600K (3.5 GHz) for 232 US?

I would just get the 6500 for 200$

But that would imply changing the motherboard, right? Because of the 6500 being LGA1151 not LGA1150.

It's the same motherboard you would need for the 6500k

[Mauricio Silva]

Alright so after modifications I ended up with this setup. What do you think about it? It will end up being around 820 US.
