Revised first build, everything look fine?

[silasqwerty1]

Hey everyone, does my build look good so far, or are there any obvious bottlenecks, incompatibilites etc.? I want a good computer that can play most modern games at a reasonible fps, that is decently future-proof. What do you guys think?

Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Zotac GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Mini Video Card
Case: NZXT S340 (Black/Red) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: SeaSonic S12II 520W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

It looks good, although if your going to be gaming on this rig I would get 16gb of RAM and a GTX 1060. Other then that, it looks good!

[AniJan]

What's your budget? This build is substantially.. bad. You really need a new build.

 

EDIT: Nevermind. it's fine. get a Gtx 1070. 

[Guest]

I would get a GTX 1060. If you can't afford it then don't jump to 7th gen just yet, save money and go for non K 7th/6th gen with a cheaper mobo and no cooler

 

The rest seems fine

A Solid State Hybrid Drive might be a good idea if your considering using just one hard drive at the moment. Here's a 2TB one on Amazon that I've used before that works well. Its a slight step up from your garden variety HDD

Upgrade that cooler you'll thank me later.

 

There are better option for cheaper, like the Deepcool Gammaxx 400

 

For a bit more, how about a beefy Raijintek Ereboss

No please not SSHD. Other people out here will tell you why not. SSD+HDD will be better.

drop to a 6600k and get a rx 480

Don't get an RX 480. The 480 (in my testing) got WORSE framerates in DX11 games (all games made in the last few years) than the 1060. If you play Vulkan games though, An RX 480 might be fine.

[silasqwerty1]

Ok, I'll save up more and get a better graphics card, and I'll get more RAM eventually. I'll also take a look at that cooler, thanks for the tip! But I'm going with the 7600k instead of the 6600k because the price difference is very small. I also do play to add an ssd eventually, but I want the higher capacity of hdd first.

what rx 480 right now is 5% slower to 1060 in older games. 15% faster than 480 in vulkin and dx 12 games 

[silasqwerty1]

As for budget, I don't want to go too much over what I have now, but I can if need be.

Do you really need 7600k?

a EVO on a 91W TDP CPU ... good luck OCing it

Yeah, but DX12 and Vulkan games are very scarce right now. imo, a 1070 would be your best bet if you had a flexible budget. The 480 will be left in the dust in a couple months.

Yeah no I totally agree. I just noticed he hadn't done so already, so I figured it may have been out of his budget to have the two drives, or just a single SSD.

You've gotta be kidding me. Who knows if this guy is getting PAID for this review? Their gonna tell you it's better than a GTX 1080 if they can sell it!

no he is not are you new to the gpu market remember the 780 ti no neither does Nvidia

Well I guess I don't need it, I could probably downgrade to a 7500 or even 7400, but I figured I'd go with that for decent future-proofing. I probably should downgrade though so I could get a better gpu without going over budget.

Yeah a GPU is more important for games.

[dizmo]

I'd go for a slightly better graphics card, and an SSD. Try to go for a 240GB+, as they perform better.

I'd honestly get the SSD first, unless getting $50 for the HDD takes you a while.

16GB of RAM never hurts either.

Ew. For that price you can get a 120GB SSD (instead of the 8GB you get with this) and a 2TB HDD.

i'm not new to GPUs. Are you new to computers? AMD is all hype and NO performance. Did you watch AMD's livestream unveiling the RYZEN line of CPUs? and they compared it to a 6900k and it BEAT IT? and they said it was stock? well AMD lied. They UNDERCLOCKED that 6900k from 3.2ghz to 3. and you TRUST that brand? I've built MANY AMD and nVidia rigs.

What does CPU has to do with GPU thtat's 2 completely different things
