fine, but try and get the 1060 6gb (3gb has 10% less cuda cores)

[stealth80]

change that 1060 to the 6gb version, well worth extra money, games are gonna eat that 3gb up

Bad PSU, don't get. Personally wouldn't get a 3GB card these days, not really enough for 1080p at higher settings.

Personally I would add another 100€ to get the 1060 6gb, 6600k and z170 board.

Thanks for the answer, what would you suggest instead of that PSU? Will 500W be enough?

Can you tell me which one exactly of the z170 boards would you get?

Depends on your budget. How much do you have to spend in total? Rest is pretty okay.

It would be great if I could fit into 800euro area.

PSU is overkill, especially since your not doing overclocking. Get a CX500 or something.

 

While everyone is going to say " CX 500 is a shit powersupply, dont get it, get a gold psu " , your not overclocking or SLIng so gold efficiency isn't needed. Any 500W PSU from Corsair or EVGA will do fine.

http://fr.pcpartpicker.com/list/7yv64C loojk at that parts list, yes it about another 250, but what you have to keep in mind is upgrade ability in the furutre, the parts list you have now is leaving no room for upgrades, but if you did want to keep the build you have now, id say drop the extra 40 on the 6600k and for sure no doubt get a z170 board, or dont upgrade to the k and get the z170 board, you have to no doubt get a z170, do not settle for a b150 chipset you will not be happy. and also upgrading to a 6gb card rather than 3 is a must as well. but all in all everything else looks good, psu is good, ram is good, mostly everything but the motherboard, and maybe think about an ssd, like seriously think about a ssd, i would for sure get one if i were you, and the graphics card. otherwise everything else looks good. the motherboard i picked out is a great budget board and not that much extra.

Thanks for the answer, but that is too much money for me:/

Thanks for the answer. Why rx480 and not 1060? And why 620W?

Cheaper than the 6GB 1060. And personally don't see it as that big of a performance difference.

Why 620W? And by the way 1060 is cheapier in my country

The 3GB version, yeah. Not the 6GB one, at least according to Amazon. And that was the cheapest modular quality PSU I could find.

290 euros for 6 GB version in my country lol the rx480 8GB is ~300 euros. Wouldn't something like cx500 be enough? Or its all about security?

CX500 poor quality, wouldn't get. And cheapest 6GB in France on Amazon: http://fr.pcpartpicker.com/product/Wt7CmG/asus-geforce-gtx-1060-6gb-turbo-video-card-turbo-gtx1060-6g 301 euros.

Cheapest 8GB 480: http://fr.pcpartpicker.com/product/RKX2FT/sapphire-radeon-rx-480-8gb-nitro-oc-video-card-11260-01-20g 266 Euros.

[johnwshek1218]

i dont want to be a fan boy but do not choose the rx 480, i did a youtube video on the difference between them, yes they are sort of similiar, but i did a firestrike benchmark on the two, and the gtx 1060 whomped the rx 480 by about 3-4000 points, the gtx 1060 6gb is a beast of a card for the price point.

Yea I also saw some of the reviews, gtx 1060 looks like a better card.

Yea, I set it to France just because it is nearest my country.

http://fr.pcpartpicker.com/list/sqYcM8 look at that parts list, better build for 875, thats the cheapest i think you should go, and you forgot a cpu cooler in your original build, unless you were just going to use the stock cooler in that case, subtract 75 from the list i just sent, and it comes out to 800, which isnt bad.
