You don't need liquid cooler for CPU at all, it's not oc able and is a waste. Stay with stock cooler

Not NEX PSU, it is much worse than a G3

 

Are you sure that prebuilt costs 2323 dollars us? Link please. Cause I am very suspsicious about that. It could be AUD or CAD. You never know

prebuilds become laughing matter once you learn how to build a pc prioritizing value and performance in the right way, even the pcpartpicker there has a locked processor with a z170 mobo, eh... you can go super cheap with similar performance buying right.

@deXxterlab97 You'd be surprised, here in Brazil you see awful builds with messed up pricing all the time, no wonder some websites still try to scam some people without the proper knowledge.

Going through the pcpp build i would change the

6500 to 6600k

Different cool, depends if you go air or aio water.

Might change mobo, depends.

1x8 or 2x8 sticks of ram

That an old ssd and overpriced for now. Either something like a 850 evo or mx300

change the 1050ti to a 1060 or 1070

Get a better value and looking case at or below $100

Don't go NEX. G2 are great.

CD/DVD drive? do you really need it?

Get W10 on Kinguin.
