First PC specs. Good, bad?

[lordquednau]

These are the specs 

 

CPU: Intel Core i5 6500 3.2 GHz

 

GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB DUAL OC

 

RAM: Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 2133MHz CL13 Vengeance LPX Svart

 

HDD: Seagate Desktop 3TB 7200rpm 64MB

 

SSD: Samsung 850-Series EVO 250GB

 

PSU: Corsair RM750x 750W

 

Case: NZXT Phantom 240 White

 

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170-HD3

Optical-drive: ASUS DVD±RW DRW-24F1MT

The PC will mostly be used for gaming and watching YouTube. 

This is the first PC i am building so is would like to know if there is anything i should change, maybe there are something better for the same price.

The PSU is overkill but It's not all that bad to have some space to expand if you want to later on  Oh and I would personally buy 16 Gigs of RAM not that it is all that needed for what you use it for though

Overall, good. Just a few minor criticisms.

 

-The 3TB Barracuda is renowned for being one of Seagate's more faulty products. I suggest getting the 2TB variant or an alternative 3TB HDD.

-The power supply is excessive unless you're planning to do some crazy GTX 1080 SLI build in the near future. You should be fine with the 550W variant.

-By saving money on the PSU, you might be able to pick up a i5 6600K for some overclocking with that Z170 motherboard and a cheap air aftermarket cooler.

I would save money with you PSU and get a better CPU like a 6600K instead with a good cheap aftermarket cooler like a hyper 212.

Why does he need 16GB of ram to watch youtube and play games?

He doesn't, I only said that I would personally buy 16 Gigs.

What is it you don't like? Is it something more than how it looks?

Something about the case layout seems really ugly considering the big window

Now I don't own either of these cases mentioned but I would probably buy the Corsair Carbide Clear 400C Midi Tower instead. The Phantom 240 personally looks too flashy, if you get what I mean

buy anything else over segate pls... every one I had died within a year, so.... buy wd or whatever, just not segate....

Looks like the build I did for a friend of mine, that PC rocks! 

 

edit: yeah that PSU is a bit much. 8 gig ram is fine for now, and the easiest thing to upgrade later.
