What are those PSU? Why only 120gb of storage? Do you need 6600k with a 1060? Why such an expensive key. you only need single 64bit key for 88 dollar

psu was wrong, actual one: https://www.mwave.com.au/product/corsair-vs-series-550w-power-supply-ab51950

120g because I am only putting OS onto the SSD.

6600K and 1060? Whats the issue?

By key do you mean windows 10? If you can recommend one go ahead. I hate when people tell you whats wrong but don't help (at all) with fixing it.

 

support your arguments with facts so I understand why you're telling me this.

Um. He did. You get a key for around $90. And... That is a really bad PSU. No 80+ rating. Get a RM, G2 RMx, or at least a CXM PSU.

well there is nothing wrong with 6600k it's just it is a bit over powered but should be fine

the psu is fine but a bit low tier so maybe a cxm550w instead?

Here, save money on this http://pcpartpicker.com/product/wtgPxr/microsoft-os-kw900140

well if you put ONLY os then 60gb will be more than enough since win10 at max use 30gb. but you can put some games (1-2) on a 120gb one so if you want to save money

A higher capacity SSD is still a good idea because it's just as fast and you can put games in there (you should, it's the best feeling in the world)

You're fine on CPU and GPU. Get the 64-bit only Windows since it's cheaper. Also put in a better CPU cooler, and a RX 480 which is better value at $360. The monitor in there has Freesync, which will remove tears and increase smoothness at no additional price. You'd be a fool not to get it along with a compatible GPU.

Also the PSU you linked is bad get this one.

Can you explain what you mean with my monitor? Is there something wrong with it? 

I can't afford a CPU cooler at $360. 

What do you mean compatible CPU? It is all compatible correct? 

 

Im sorry xD I feel like you worded this is the wrong way for me to understand as I can't differentiate positives and negatives.

I will use the extra space on the SSD for csgo and gmod then :) 

Could you find a PSU from https://www.mwave.com.au for me if you have the time?

if you guys could find a cheaper key I would be able to put more money into a psu or cpu cooler. Just dont want to go over 2,200

 

I wrote compatible GPU :P as in a video card that will do Freesync. Nothing wrong with your monitor choice but this one is objectively better because of its features.

Not above 2200 you say. Well, we can do that.

 

As a deathstalker owner, that's about the worst gaming keyboard you can get so let's switch it.
