Only thing i would change to your build , is go for another power supply and maybe for 16gb of ram. 

If you go for a 6500 i think the performance will last somthing like 3-5y

[Deelicious]

cheers thanks for answering fast.

Is seasonic m2ii bad? It was only recommended by a friend. Will a 16gb ram improve the performance for gaming?

You can get that SSD cheaper from Amazon. I see one at $79 w/ $4.99 shipping. Might not make a difference really but figured I'd let you know :).

You can save a couple dollars with an H110 mobo and a single 1x8 RAM kit. You can also knock a couple more on the PSU. And personally, I see 0 need for a 250gb, I think 120 is already plenty.

 

But outside of that, the build is pretty balanced already.

I saw a video i think it was luke explaining 2x stick is better than 1x stick of the same size? Is that wrong?

Both have it's advantages. While technically speaking 2x is "better", 99% chance you won't see the difference, so I value the advantages of a single stick higher than those of a dual config.

He's probably talking about dual-channel. It does make it faster, but shouldn't make too much of a difference gaming. It also gives the option for further upgrades. By all means though, go for 2x4 if you want! It will still be faster :). I have 4x4, works perfectly fine.

Thanks! Now that you guys are saying, I'm gonna settle for a 1x8gb coz it will give me an option to upgrade and will cost less (bout 7-8$ here) then allocate it to getting a better psu.

Be careful of thermaltake, their fans are kinda loud and cases are kinda cheap

instead of the zotac gpu go with the msi gaming x that would be agood match between the mobo and the gpu 

also instead of buying 2 sticks of 4gb ram go with 2 sticks of 16gb for futur proof

do that and this pc will become a monster soon  and also a proof for futur gaming 

and congratulations by the way

I want to but I need to keep it budget friendly as much as possible. Zotac version here is 290-293USD while the msi gaming x is 350-356USD. Yea I will upgrade it to 16gb of ram soon when I have an extra money to spend hehe for now ill stick with 1x8gb of ram. And thanks! Got really excited because of you guys

that's ok if you're on ultra budget

but overall the performance of the msi version is not that wothy the extra 60 bucks lol

I built my first rig with that CPU last week and guess what? It is so nice that i forgot about my i5 6600K and R9 380 plan! (Using 970 with i5 6500 now) It doesnt bottleneck my 970 on Rainbow Six 1080p full settings including MSAA x8. I will test GTA soon and it wont bottleneck too. You should get one!

[Deelicious]

Thanks everyone who replied in my topic! I'm gonna go get 6500
