First Build (Need help and suggestions)

[geffeh]

Hi I'm from the Philippines and I wanted to build my first rig. I'm looking for a decent 1080p 60fps build since thats the monitor I currently have and I probably wont be OC'ing.

 

Im currently unsure of the mobo and the the M.2 SSD if its even better.

For the video card I'm currently looking at the RX480 and GTX1060 leaning towards the 1060. I dont have a specific brand or part yet for it so I havent included it.

 

All suggestions and comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Your build looks very solid, you did good  

 

For 1060 right now either wait for EVGA's 1060's to get back in stock or get the G1/windforce from gigabyte

Thanks!

 

would the EVGA or Gigabyte 1060 be better than the ZOTAC (http://pcpartpicker.com/product/QVWrxr/zotac-geforce-gtx-1060-6gb-amp-edition-video-card-zt-p10600b-10m) or this MSI (http://pcpartpicker.com/product/HN648d/msi-geforce-gtx-1060-6gb-gaming-x-video-card-geforce-gtx-1060-6gt-oc) card?

 

and would the M.2 be better and more reliable than the regular SATA SSDs?

For the graphics cards, they are roughly all the same, except for core clock and boost clock, some may have higher ones than others which means more preformance

 

And for m.2 vs sata idk about reliability but i know m.2 is faster

alright! thank you very much! I asked since the MSI and ZOTAC are the cheapest and the readily available ones here. 

 

Thank you very much!

I'd strongly suggest you get 16GB of RAM

I'm actually considering it, the problem is the difficulty of getting 16GB kits here. The common kits sold are for 8GB. 

 

If ever, which brand and kit would be better? 1x16, 2x8 or 4x4? Thanks.

brand!? whatever you can get your hand on

2x8 if you can find, or 2 kits of 2x4 if you can't find - but it must be same manufacturer and kit model
