OP's BUILD

[xephoneration]

I would of got a bigger/better psu. like 650w 

[danwager11]

A hyper 212evo or even a cryorig H7 should be plenty for the i5-6600k.

[gtx1060=value]

for starters, the power supply is shit - so just return that and get a gq or g2 even a cxm 450 would be fine

also, there really isn't a consistent colour palette going on, red ram, a black and razer green case, a black and grey/red mobo - a black graphics card - and a tan cpu cooler - if you can return your parts - give us a budget and preferred colour palette and we will make you a good build

[Energycore]

Well that's a terrible PSU for a high-end build, replace that ASAP.

[SteinerW]

Noctua is good, but that's a but overkill for that CPU, plus it will make the first PCIe slot unusable.

[fiberzs is dad]

cpu cooler a little op but besides that great build

[SteinerW]

You could get an i7 if you got a cheaper case. Is the case really that important to him?

[SCHISCHKA]

So the hard drive is $0 because you already own it?

Theres nothing wrong with it I'm just wondering

Are you sure you want that colour case?

idk i'll ask. but good point

[dizmo]

That is a horrible PSU choice, even if you already have it. Some things just shouldn't be skimped on.

[Herman Mcpootis]

of all the things your friend cheaps out on, its the psu. see if he can return it or sell it, then use the money to get something like an FSP aurum, coolermaster V or a seasonic psu instead.
