A cheap build

[alexbianchi15]

I already have the cpu. I gout it really cheap. 85$ cheap. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on the other parts. I think I'm pretty good so far. This is for a friend at 1080p gaming.

The motherboard and GPU are the main differences here. I think the 3gb one is perfectly fine and the money is a big deal for me. However, I will take a look at motherboard.

Either step up to the plate for a 6GB 1060 or pick up an RX 470/480. The PSU is kinda garbage for a gaming rig. If you're planning on overclocking that 4690K, you'll need a Z97 motherboard, not a B85. There are better values and better performers than the 212 EVO in that price range, particular the cheaper and better Deepcool Gammaxx 400. Kingston SSDs, especially that Kingston SSD, are kinda trash.

 

Basically, your core ideas are sound, but you've got a lot of parts that could be upgraded upon at the same price point. Consider the Seasonic S12II PSU. There are plenty of ATX Z97 mobos out there. Corsair's Force LE, PNY's CS1311 and OCZ's Trion 150 (not 100) are great values and performers for the price, and they're all $10-15 cheaper than the Kingston.

Most of the games today use more than 3gb of vram, So there is a significant difference between 3gb and 6gb of gtx 1060.

I've made it little cheaper.

I only had a general concept going. This isn't my build. It's a friend who I am helping top build. I don't think he will be doing muck overclocking however it is something i will ask him about.
