My new PC

[Jimp1x]

Hi, 

I`m planning on building a new pc. I`m going with specs like this:

CPU: I5 6500

GPU: RX 480or GTX 1060

MOBO: ASUS B150M-A or ASUS H170-D3H

RAM: 8GB HyperX Fury Black (i`ll upgrade to 16GB in the future)

PSU: 600W CoolerMaster B2 series

Case: CoolerMaster N200

HDD: 1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue

SSD: (in the future)

 

Also i will be buying a 1080p 60hrz monitor so that`s what i`m aiming for. Should i get the GTX 1060 (Gigabyte G1 Gaming) version or the RX 480 (Nitro+ or STRIX)? Also should i change the cpu? Should i wait for AMD ZEN? Any other suggestions will be happily accepted

Looks fine.

 

Gpu's are about the same, Its up to you and what company you like more. The 1060 is slightly faster in current games.

Get a 480 for 1080p, get a 1060 for 1440p

The PSU in not great. I'd recommend from EVGA

[Jimp1x]

What about the Motherboard? The H170 is a bit more expensive but as i see it it doesnt really add something that the H150-M doesnt have

The reason why i didnt go with an EVGA PSU is that in my country its 100 USD for a 500W compared to this CoolerMaster that`s 600W and is 60USD 

[Cyracus]

If you go with the 1060 get the evga $260 one if you can find it, small and efficient and importantly cheap. idk for the 480 though, as long as it's not the the g1 gaming 480 because jayz2cents showed it acting like a bonfire even at max fan speed. As for the PSU this is a good resource to use for finding a better one

Rule of Building a PC, never skimp out on the PSU. It's important part of the PC.

The evga version still didnt hit the stores in my country, neither did the gigbyte rx 480

Wattage does not compare to quality, that PSU has @Energycore' rating of "avoid like the plague"

 

Find a SeaSonic S12II,Corsair CXM 450W,550W (Grey Unit) or a XFX TS (The 80+Bronze will work but the 80+Gold will be better (not because of efficiency but because of quality of the PSU))

 

Hell if you even ask me a Corsair CX500 will do MUCH better than that CM B2

[Jimp1x]

Yea, just found the CX 500W 80+Bronze PSU, will that do?

There's gotta be a fine PSU for a good price in your country. Where are you buying from?

 

As for the motherboard, you will not see a difference between B150 and H170.

I would look for something better, can you link an online store that ships to your country?

 

Also give me your approximate budget for a power supply.

Try to find a CXM (Grey Unit comes in the variant of 450w and 550w), XFX TS (Bronze or Gold) or a SeaSonic S12II

The 550W is always a good one. So is the 450 and 650. The 430, 500 and 600 ones are the ones that are older (still fine if you run out of options)

Its $30 more, and i get it your on a tight budget, but you have to understand if you want something that's not like a nuclear bomb - you need money

[Energycore]

Yeah looks like the neo eco is the best value out of all of them.

It`s ok, i thought he was just asking for the price (didnt mean to be rude or anything)

Edit: looks like that NEO ECO is mislabeled, it's actually a 400W PSU

 

Take this instead. http://ddstore.mk/products/Corsair-Builder-Series-CX450M-Modular-Power-Supply-EU-Version-CP-9020101-EU/pid/893251

Which one would you recommend?
