My computer!

[Guest]

This is my Christmas build, with photos.

 

I am using an i3-6100 with a Dark Rock Pro 3 cooler, a GTX 645 from my old Dell Alienware X51 R2, a Micro Star SLI Plus Z170 motherboard, and a/an EVGA 500W  PSU.

It was all put in a Mastercase 5.I despise those colorful cables and plan to get an 850W Platinum PSU from EVGA.

 

I plan to upgrade to an i5-6600k@4.2+ GHz and get a/an EVGA 1060 FTW.

Telling what I plan to upgrade to.

I would recommend getting a better GPU like a 1050 or 1050Ti bc the 645 will bottleneck

Looks nice, I just bought the EVGA P2 750W Platinum power supply and it's very overkill. I'd recommend the EVGA G2 GOLD 750W power supply. They both have black sleeved cables and the only reason I bought that power supply was so it could fit in the Fractal Design Define C case.

Eh, I like overkill. My cooler is certainly overkill until I upgrade. My i3 usually idles at 33-35*C

This build would be fine with the G2 550 watt, but even that is more wattage than needed.

You should go for the g2 750w instead and then put that money saved towards something else like a SSD or a new graphics card.

Well, I have already purchased, and will be receiving in the next couple of days, a/an Samsung 960 Evo M.2 SSD.
