are you going to OC? yes? then nevermind

 

i would recoomend you get the new 1060, its newer and also performs cooler and a bit better

1. Get a better power supply (XFX TS 550W is decent)
2. Get a 1060/RX480 depending on which suits the games you play, that 970 is too old to recommend anymore
3. Do you want to overclock that CPU? Get a Z170 board.

First of all thanks for the Great help!

 

I've Made the Changes Recommended you, but they put me quite a bit over the price point at 1000€

1139.76€ do you have any recommendations where I could Cut some of the price out?

i think 2TB and 3TB is more price effective when you first get a HDD

Thanks for the response!

 

Yeah probably but at this point i am kind of trying to save on what I can for initial price and 2 or 3tb seem a tad much for what it is intended to do and more like something that is going to happen quite a Bit down the Road.

OC is not planned by default maybe later down the Road.

 

That sounds sensible to me didn't really consider the new cards because of price but it seems they are quite similiar at this point

Are you planning on overclocking? If not, you don't need  a z170 chipset board.

 

Change the brand on the graphics card. Zotac are kind of meh, if you want a budget just get reference or one of the EVGA ones, or even a palit jetstream.

 

Upgrade to 2400mhz. You mineaswell, it's like £5 more expensive.

 

Change the PSU. Don't set your build on fire because you cheaped out on a psu.

 

Do you need an optical drive? I doubt it. Scrap!

 

Other then that, the storage, ram, graphics card type ( not the brand, the brand sucks ) ,  cpu cooler and CPU are all pretty good. Why aren't you happy with it? It's a great 1080p build. This will run pretty much everything maxed out at 1080p.

 

If the build feels underwhelming, try color coordinating the build. You have a very boring, bland color scheme, bump it up a little and change the components to match. Black/red, black/blue, black/gold etc.
