Will this system bottleneck?

Go to solution Solved by Simon771,

Perfect fit.

i5 6400 and GTX 1060 will work together well.

At least in 90% of the games.

 

Some games are more CPU demanding and there is where CPU will bottleneck a bit, and in other, GPU will be at 100% but CPU under 50%.

But like I said, that CPU and GPU are going to work together perfect.

 

Go for it!

No

It would probably be cheaper to build it yourself than buy a pre-built. The i5 will not bottleneck a 1060, but I would get a better PSU, that one is crap. 

 

Edi: I would also get a larger SSD or a HDD for mass storage, 120Gb isnt much.

Thanks, but can I get a bit more insight. But if it's just no then no.

Not much insight to be had, tbh. the 6400 is quite capable and I don't see any scenario that regards consumer-level activities that would cause it to bottleneck a 1060

The power supply is good enough, after all it is Corsair, but the entry level thing is something, also I have an additional 500gb hdd which I will add to the system, the ssd is for the boot drive. 

Thanks for the help

Just because its corsair doesnt make it good (I can think of several from reputable brands that are legitimately unsafe), I would still recommend buying a higher quality PSU unless you intend to replace in a few years.

Ok price for a prebuild  like this. Usual prebuilds are ridiculous overpriced.

The fact remains that it's crap, regardless of brand. I would try to get different one if possible.

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

Plus they test the whole pc and also send a recovery Pen drive, some light strips and they seem legit, had a small article published about the company in a reputed newspaper

Can you suggest a more reliable psu around the same price point?

The Corsair CX450M available?

That's actually alot for a build like this, I would say max $700.

Depends on location anyway, if it's fair for your location then it's fine.
