Am I Missing Something?

[Carl DaBeast]

For a long time I have been throwing together potential builds that I could build but always find a component that would make it run better or for cheaper. I have finally made a list of items that work together, is cheap(ish), and is somewhat powerful.

These are the components.

Is there anything that is lacking in performance compared to any other similar products? For example X component runs Y times faster and is cheaper/not much more expensive.

I live in Sweden so the build that costs $535 on PCPartPicker costs $685 (6235 SEK) so I don't want to spend too much more.

 

There were two goals for the build.

1. Be powerfull enough to play games in 1080p medium to high settings

2. Be very upgradable for future purchases, hence why I chose DDR4 memory and LGA 1151 CPU.

I also chose parts that were mostly MSI and Red/Black so that it looks good/cool.

Looks ok!

Cheaper case so you can fit in an i3 6100

I would try to stretch your budget a little further and purchase a cheaper SSD, you will notice massive improvements.

That might be what I upgrade to in the future as the CPU costs twice as much in Sweden (650 SEK to 1300 SEK) and there aren't many other cases that I like at all. I was looking at the NZXT S340 (not elite) but decided on the elite as it has better front side IO and is more or less an updated S340.

Any recommended SSD? This was something that I had planned to have before but removed it as it costs a lot more than a HDD for far less storage, I will probably get one in the future.

If you do not need massive amounts of storage I'd recommend getting the ssd now and the hdd later so you can install the operating system on the ssd. The cheapest I'd go would be a San Disk Plus, 240GB is around 70€ in Germany so it cannot be that expensive in Sweden. The performance boost you will get with an SSD over hdd is immense.

If you upgrade in the future just save up for more ram and an i5. Don't bother going i3. imho
