Posted December 12, 2016 I'm going to build my first PC (upgrading from my laptop). I've already planned which components I want to use and would like to have some feedback, whether they will work together and whether anyone has better suggestions for components. Here is the list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gPGXVY (Updated list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/P7kJpb) More information about the usage and stuff: OS: Linux/Windows (Linux: development/games/browsing/the usual, Windows: only for games that don't run on linux (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻) - no need to buy an os Budget: ~1400€ (EUR) / ~1500$ (USD) Monitors: 2x QHD Monitor (probably Dell U2515H; I will buy them later(not included in the budget); I appreciate suggestions for equivalent/better monitors as well) Peripherals: I've already got a mouse, a keyboard and a monitor. Should be fine (for now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 12, 2016 Have you checked the reviews on that cooler? I'd probably step up to a 1070 for the best 1440p experience. That PSU looks pretty expensive, you can get one for around half that. Use extra money towards 1070. Why so much RAM? 7 minutes ago, 8-Bit Ninja said: why not a 6600k and a 1070?

Instead of a 1060 why not this: https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-PCI-Express-Graphics-11247-03-40G/dp/B0196LWL3W/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1481582031&sr=1-1&keywords=r9+fury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 13, 2016 The power supply is a bit overkill. You only need 550watts. A sieve may not hold water, but it will hold another sieve. i5-6600, 16Gigs, ITX Corsair 250D, R9 390, 120Gig M.2 boot, 500Gig SATA SSD, no HDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
