PC build

[Patty95]

Hi, I am planning on building a PC and I would like you guys to check it out if It is all going to work fine because I haven't build a PC in ages.

CPU 4670k or 4690 ( depends on prices I'm currently searching ebay for one of them at around £140-150 )

GPU I'm planning to go for gtx 1060 (which non reference version is the best & Money value?)

RAM Corsair Vengeance 8 GB 1600mhz 2 x 4gb

Motherboard Gigabyte Z97-D3H (already bought)

PSU Corsair VS550 550W 80 Plus ATX PC PSU (already bought)

Case Corsair SPEC-03

CPU Air cooler (not sure which one to go for as 212x and evo will not fit in that case, any recommendations ? my budget for that is up to £30)

(SATA and DVD i will buy from CEX used ones so I dont need advice on that)

 

Some people on toms hardware forum said that my PSU is not good enough? do you agree? what are your thoughts

[Herman Mcpootis]

Yup, that psu just isn't good, especially if you're gonna overclock. Get any seasonic/superflower/XFX non-XT or evga supernova non-NEX instead.

For GPU you should tell us prices in your country so we could recommend anything.

Thank you I think I will go for it. Id rather spend a bit more and be sure as PSU is very important. Any ideas on which gtx 1060 to choose and what air cooler to get that will fit my case?

I recommend Palit,as its cheap and good and is not a single fan but a dual fan
