Is this build good?

[erolwes]

I was wondering if this build would be good for 1080p gaming at medium to high settings https://pcpartpicker.com/user/erolwes/saved/#view=mVmgsY

get a z170 mobo if you wanna oc, a h170 board doesn't have oc as a feature.

What is this build being used for? What is your budget?

 

Why are you getting the i5 6600k? You won't be able to overclock it on a non K motherboard. I would either upgrade the motherboard to a Asus Z170-p or Z170-A, or I would drop down to the i5-6600.

 

The 650W power supply is probably overkill. I would go for the 550W version.

You have a H170 motherboard with a unlocked K CPU, to overclock, you need a Z170 motherboard.

buy windows from kinguin aswell, its much cheaper.

better, but get an ssd,  you'll get much better boot times and responsiveness.

Either go with a z170 mobo or drop the K cpu.

I'd switch to hyper 212 evo for your CPU cooler, it's cheaper and better viewed.

You also don't really need 650W for a 1060, maybe go with the 550W to save some cost.

If you are buying OEM windows buy it from kinguin like Megah3rtz suggested.

Maybe use the savings for a SSD.
