Hi, I'm building my first PC soon, and I wan't to know if these will work together. I know there is PC part picker but I've heard it can mess up,

 

CPU - 

Intel i5 6500 - $205

 

Graphics card - 

EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB - $200

 

RAM - 

8 GB (4GB x2?)- $40

 

Case - 

$30-$50

 

Motherboard - 

Gigabyte LGA1151 Intel H170 Micro ATX DDR4 Motherboard (GA-H170M-D3H) - $90

 

PSU - 

Rosewill 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Power Supply ATX12V / EPS12V 550 Power Supply Hive-550 - $55

 

Memory - 

1 TB HDD  (WD Caviar Blue)- $50

 

Toshiba OCZ Trion 150 120GB 2.5" 7mm SATA III Internal Solid State Drive TRN150-25SAT3-120G - $40

 

 

Also does anyone have a recommendation on what RAM and case I should get?

 

Another thing, I plan to use this computer for Cities Skylines, and Space Engineers

 

 

 

 

Thanks and have a nice day!

PC part picker is just fine.

 

Ram- Probably something cheap and good like something from corsairs Vengeance line

 

Case- Corsair spec 02

 

Power supply: nopeee. Try something from this list in the first 3 tiers at the least.

It looks good. It's still easier to put into pcpartpicker as a preliminary check, and it says most problems down below in the fine print, people just read over it and blame it on pcpartpicker. As for RAM, pretty much anything will work as long as it's DDR4. I would definitely recommend a 2x8GB kit of RAM because those two games are very CPU bound. And yeah, reject that PSU

Oh and one more thing. Don't get the 1060 3GB. If you can't afford the 6Gb, get the RX 480 4GB. If you can, the 1060 6GB beats the RX 480 8GB in most games
