New PC buiild: Good for gaming and overclock?

Hey guys, 

 

I wanted to know whether this build is good enough for overclock and gaming? 

 

Case: Corsair Obsidian 750D

Power supply: EVGA 750 G2. 

SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB.

HDD: Barracuda 1 TB. 

DVD: ASUS DRW-24F1MT 

 

Motherboard: MSI Z170A Gaming Pro Carbon

CPU: i5-6600(K) 

CPU cooler: H110i GTX 

RAM: HyperX 8GB (2x4gb) 2133Mhz. 

GPU: MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6GB GDDR5. 

 

Monitor: BenQ 24" RL2455HM 

OS: Windows 10 32/64-bit (Flash-drive - gonna choose 64-bit ) 

WiFi adapter: ASUS PCE-AC68 AC1900. 

Anti-static armband (1.8M) 

Thermalpaste: Noctua NT-H1

Fans for H110i: 2x Noctua NF-A14 PWM (300-1500RPM) 

 

Total: 2092,37$ 

 

For about 20$ more I can get overclock-version, but Idk if overclock is worth it, as I don't want my clockspeed to be at 4.6Ghz all the time.

You dont need 750W, 500W is plenty for any single GPU setup, just get the 550W version of it. Do you need a DVD drive? I dont see many of these anymore. Also I won't use AIO water cooling, as you can get just as good high cooling and air for less (And it has less points of failure). Can't see any real problems other than that, all good. 

Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily. Never cheap out on a PSU, or I will come to watch the fireworks.

I would get a k cpu as with a z170 mobo you can overclock it and that cooler would be wasted on a non k sku. You can get a mild oc of 4.3-4.4 which will give you a boost in various cpu intensive tasks and as you seem to be getting a z170 board any way you might aswell get a k

Drop the extra fans, water cooling for air cooling, get a cheaper case and get rid of the DVD drive unless you need it (you can install windows without it) and you can afford a 1070.

the i7-6700K is 419,04 here. GTX 1070 is 627. 

 

This build (with a different case - couldn't find it on the website I buy from) costs about 269$ more here, About 269 over budget. If I choose i5-6600K it will be 169 over budget. 

 

I took RL2455HM instead of the Dell, as it was about 392$. (RL2455HM is 200$) my concerns about the NH-D15 air cooler is the huge size, won't it break my motherboard or something?

I live in Denmark. Things are like 25% more expensive or more.

 

In comparison to 450. 627/450 = 1.39. About 39% more expensive.  I wish I could use them 177$ on something else. i7-6700K at 419 is 419/345 = 1.21. About 21% more expensive. Another 74 I could have used. Adding that up (177 and 74) it is 251$ more cash. 

 

So yeah, I could have used 251 on some nicer motherboard, etc. With all the parts being more expensive, I could have saved up to 400$ cash.
