Hello there! I was wondering if you guys could help me. i am going to build a gaming pc soon, and i am searching for the best of the best specs there are. and try to make it look as cool as possible.

this is my build https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Wolfiowww/saved/7CJ7P6 i changed those prices to the euro prices in my land. with shipping costs 1300 euro for me. im in love with the case though.

so my question is, is it all aproved? do i need to change something? dont begin about my wattage, because 500 watt is recommended by nvidia for the 1070 and i am not changing my psu :p.

if you want me to change something in my build, because a part i picked it not good or something make shure it fits in the black and red build. aka dont choose a yellow or blue or white part.

thanks ^_^ btw, no needs to overclock for me. this pc will have 80 fps in the newest games maxed out.

Soon building: Shardedge

It would be better to get an I5 instead of and i7 unless your doing stuff like video editing. the performance difference is not worth the extra 100 euros you would be spending. also go with a unlocked processor if you are thinking of overclocking. (intel i5 6600k)

i am going to do youtube so the i7 is for the video editting video encoding and recording/streaming. and i5 6600k will bottleneck alittlebit. so i feel safer with a good i7 though.

Will definitely work. Just remember an os. I bought a key and used a usb stick with the copy found for system builders on microsofts website. You could also change the processor to the 6700k and possibly upgrade to the hyper 212 evo as its well reviewed even though I'm not sure about overclocking. This would give you a .6 ghz boost out of the box and more if the cooler gives enough headroom and you are prepared to oc.

upgrade to hyper evo? you mean downgrade xD and why a k processor if the motherbord is no z motherboard. than it wont work. no needs to overclock though.

It's fine, but do research on that PSU as I heard people say it's loud.

And another thing is that board will look so cute in that case, so consider changing to Micro ATX case or find ATX board that suits your color scheme.

About the PSU, the fan is loud to some people out there.

 

And the mobo you choose is Micro ATX form factor, it's smaller than the normal ATX.

And you choose a big ass case for it so it would look out of place as the mobo is small.

Yea, that's the problem, if you don't mind all black though then can consider this.

If you don't mind seeing the small mobo in there then go for it.

You can change it later on when you have the cash anyway.

I just give you suggestion coz you're the type that want your rig to look good, I do too and Micro ATX board in a big case like that just doesn't seem right to me, of course your opinion might differ.

Then change the case. Keep the mobo. There are lots of neutral atx  mobos to choose from though, even if the perfect one is slightly more expensive.

That's the one I'm looking at but it's not near the price range of the night elf so I scrape it out, but if you can afford that, then go for it.

That's a better fit for the case you choose.

Tier 4, will work but with the amount of hardware that you put in your build.

I won't recommend going lower than Tier 2 though...

Can you push for https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/450115/evga-supernova-550-g2.html ?

This will definitely serve you well.

At that price point you might as well push another 13 euros and get the EVGA.

80+ gold efficiency means nothing if the build quality of the PSU itself is crap.
