Get the i5 6500 instead of the 6400.

Don't waste so much money on an enormous, unnecessarily fast SSD. Put it towards a better power supply, CPU, and GPU instead. Get a smaller SSD and a large HDD.

 

This build has a better CPU and blows both those GPUs out of the water. It also has a much better power supply.

Compromise a little and you could probably fit in a 1070.

But you got a terrible power supply! It's hardly comparable to an S12ii.

My compromises-

• 120GB SSD (still a fast, reliable MLC SSD) + 1TB HDD instead of a 500GB SSD for more storage without giving up on faster boot and launch times.
• A cheap but good case.
• The cheapest 8GB stick of DDR4 RAM available.
• A cheaper H110 motherboard.
• A Skylake CPU that isn't very far behind the Core i5 7500.

I would not compromise on-

• The power supply.
• The amount of storage (anything less than 500GB is just asking for an ordeal).

This is what I was referring to-

No. He needs to get a reliable power supply for his needs. I'd be comfortable putting a Corsair CX430 in an office computer, but I wouldn't put it anywhere near a gaming rig. Also, higher efficiency does not equal quality.

Yuck, 5400 RPM. Was that a mistake?

 

Also, no front panel USB 3.0 on that motherboard.

Thanks, this makes things a lot easier than trying to figure out the best out of every model when I'm looking for a psu.
