Hi guys

I im going to build my first ever  gaming pc and im going for a black and White pc. The budget i have is around 900$

I have chosen the following parts!

CRYORIG H7 49.0 CFM CPU Cooler

 

Asus Z170-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

 

Asus GeForce GTX 1060 3GB 3GB Dual Video Card

 

Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2133 Memory

 

PNY CS1311 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

 

Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

 

Asus GeForce GTX 1060 3GB 3GB Dual Video Card

 

NZXT S340 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case

 

Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

 

Do you guys have any suggestion on what i can/should change. If so what? Or just any tips and tricks.

As i mentioned i'm a first time builder so some feedback would be nice.

Get a 1060 6GB version as I mentioned

thats some conflicting info :P 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
