I'm on a tight budget. I made my own build to only play CSGO:


i5 6600
Asus B150 Pro Gaming
Ripjaws 8GB (Will add another one to make it 16GB after the month or so.)
Corsair Spec 01 Case
SeaSonic S12II 620W
(Will Add GPU Once 1060 Is Available In My Country)

 

What do you think? The 1060 will arrive after a few months. Will I be able to play CSGO at low or mid settings smoothly until then?

 

(Already have a HDD and Monitor )

 

Thanks in Advance.

I mean, CSGO isn't that hard to run. I think you'll be fine till then. If the 480 AIB cards drop first, might be worth looking at them.

Even though my main purpose is CSGO, I wish to play all the AAA games next year after I add the 2nd RAM and the GPU (still deciding between RX480 and 1060). What do you think?

You'd be fine for playing AAA.

looks great, definitely recommend a different case, that one is known to have bad cable mgmt, my friend had the spec 2 and my brother owns the 100r, (basically the same case just different outside look) both have very little cable mgmt space, barely able to put the 24pin behind the mobo... get the s340 or the nzxt source 210 instead

Thanks for the suggestion. Will keep that in mind ! However, the aggressive design of the case somewhat impresses me a little bit. That's why I was looking to go for it. Anyway, I'll buy it today hopefully and I'll check out the cases. Thanks again!
