My PC build

[Lolik]

Storage:  WD Blue 1TB 64MB cache

                Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB 7mm

GPU:  GAINWARD GeForce GTX 1060

RAM:  Kingston 16GB KIT DDR4 2133MHz CL14 HyperX Fury Black Series

CPU:  Intel Core i5-6500

Motherboard:  GIGABYTE Z170X-Gaming 3

Case:  Corsair SPEC-ALPHA Carbide Series

Power supply:  EVGA SuperNOVA 550 GS

Cooling:  NZXT Kraken X31

IS IT GOOD?????

It's decent, but get i5 6600k instead.

You are buying Z170 motherboard for overclocking, and you want to pair it with locked chip?

 

Even if you are too afraid to OC now, it's good to have headroom in the future.

So everything seems fine, except for CPU, I would go for i5 6600k version

(Only noting the issues)

Storage: the WD blue is fine but for crying out loud, change that SSD for something else like the Adata sp550

 

erm...rest looks fine . You may want to get a 6600k so you can actually overclock as you have an AIO and z170 mobo

Since you have a decently high-end Z170 motherboard and cooler, you might has well go for an unlocked i5 6600K for overclocking.

 

SSD is bad, get the ADATA SP550 instead. I'd also spend a few more bucks on the EVGA G2 rather than the GS.

It's seasonic OEM vs another high quality PSU...does it matter? The G2 isn't really better by the way

I've copied this off quan289 because I'm a lazy fuck . Anyway, the G2 has better ripple suppression and voltage regulation than the GS so if the price difference isn't huge, I'd be shooting for the Super Flower unit.

 

G2: 12v: 0.6% | 15mVpp; 5v: 0.8% | 15mVpp; 3.3v: 0.6% | 15mVpp
GS: 12v: 2.1% | 50mVpp; 5v: 2.2% | 20mVpp; 3.3v: 3.3% | 20mVpp

Hi there Lolik Welcome to the community!

 

What are you going to use the build for? If this is a gaming PC it looks good but you can make some optimizations. 

The guys gave you some good suggestions regarding the CPU so I'd consider them. 

16GB of memory may be a bit too much for a regular gaming PC so I'd start with a single 8GB stick and see how that works. You can always add more down the road if needed.

 

Regarding the storage, I like the SSD+HDD configurations. The guys gave you some suggestions regarding the SSD so check that too. 

 

Post back with some feedback on the comments!

True but both are good units and won't blow up underload (and doesn't have 85c secondary caps...wonder which "high mid-end" PSU this reminds me of)

I'm just being picky

Woow, thanks so much for the tips, but CPU i5-6500 can be overclocked.

I copied this from Alza.co.uk: Features: Automatic Overclocking, Cooler pack

I'm assuming they're talking about Turbo Boost. That is not overclocking.
