I'm buying from Romania, so the prices will differ a bit, with the exception of the PSU and case. I'm buying from pcgarage.ro and they have great reviews and specs for their price. Here's some product links :

Is your current PC dead? I wouldn't be upgrading from a 4670K to a Skylake chip. All you really need is a new GPU.

Forgot to mention it's not for me, but rather for a friend.

That power supply looks a bit suspect to me.

Oh, then it's a pretty solid build. Personally I like to go with 16GB of RAM nowadays since games seem to be using more. That power supply looks a little iffy imo.

The power supply, in all honesty, is something I wouldn't trust to be powering a i5 6500 + GTX 1060 6GB build. The low price is already a red flag and the fact that Segotep is a Chinese company inclines me to believe that the build and component quality is low. You should also know by now that just because it has decent customer reviews, it doesn't mean it's a good power supply.

 

The Corsair CX450M or bust I say: http://www.pcgarage.ro/surse/corsair/cx450m-80-plus-bronze-450w/

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

this is a really good build for 60fps 1080p and will last several years. It is smart because you didn't overkill anything but instead got exactly what you expect.

segotep looks damn sketchy, get this at the least: http://www.pcgarage.ro/surse/super-flower/sf-550p12xp/.I was just looking at it. I have good experience with Super Flower PSUs

I agree that it's a sketchy power supply. Personally I would go for a 250gb SSD with no HDD unless they need the space right off the bat as you can always upgrade. Otherwise, looks good.

Tip to those that are new on LTT forum- quote a post so that the person you are quoting gets a notification, otherwise they'll have no idea that you did. You can also use a tag such as @Ryoutarou97 (replace my username with anyone's. You should get a dropdown after you type the "@")to send a notification, but quoting is preferable.

 

Feel free to PM me about absolutely anything be it tech, math, literature, etc. I'll try my best to help. I'm currently looking for a cheap used build for around $25 to set up as a home server if anyone is selling.

 

If you are a native speaker please use proper English if you can. Punctuation, capitalization, and spelling are as important to making your message readable as proper night theme formatting is.

 

My build is fully operational, but won't be posted until after I get a GPU in it and the case arted up.

Ok, he went with this PSU in the end :

http://www.pcgarage.ro/surse/super-flower/sf-550p14he-550w-80-plus-bronze/

I have good experience with Super Flower and this one is 80+ Bronze certified. It looks ok.

Forgot to take a photo of the insides though. D:

It looks very clean tbh. Cable management was really great and the case even has a PSU shroud.

Bit late, but I can't load images now. I'll trust you that it looks great for now and check on less sketchy wifi tomorrow :)
