First build

[danzz67]

I've had the worst computer for years now and finally saved up enough money to build my first pc. I'm quite young so im not 100 percent certain on the parts. This computer is going to be primarily used for gaming. Would love any suggestions/opinions please and thank you. Total cost: $2400

 

CPU: Intel core i5 7400 kabylake 3.0ghz 6mb

CPU Cooler:I'd-cooling frostflow 240l white led cpu liquid cooler

GPU: gigabyte gtx 1070 8gb gddr5 

Motherboard: asus rog maximum ix hero lga1151 atx 

Memory: consair 16gb kit(2x8gn) ddr4 vengeance lpx black c14 2400mhz

OS: samsung 850 evo series 2.5" 7mm 250gb ssd

Power Supply: consair rm750x 750w 80plus modular power supply

You have a locked CPU with a Z270 motherbord, you need a unlocked one to OC (i5 7600K), or just save money with a B250/H270 motherboard. 750W is overkill, 500W is enough.

actually at this price you may be able to squeeze a 1080 in there

I'm using a Australia computer building site that has limited options (because I'm not confident enough to do it myself).

 

the motherboard options of that type are:

MSI Z270 PC MATE LGA1151 ATX 

MSI H270 GAMING M3 LGA1151 ATX 

MSI Z270 SLI PLUS LGA1151 ATX

 

With the CPU cooler I have only options of id-cooling and consair hydro range. 

 

Everything else fits, sorry for the hassle.

Although you'll be spending quite a lot more compared to if you were building it yourself, there's not wrong with it. 

 

If you're going with a locked CPU the then H270 motherboard is perfectly fine but if you're going to use an unlocked CPU then either of those z270 motherboards are fine as well. To be fair, depending on the price difference between the 3 motherboards, you may as well go with a z270 motherboard as from what I've seen, the difference between a z270 and a h270 motherboard at the moment is like $5

I'd say corsair? It's because I've never heard of id-cooling before

Find another site if the one you are looking at is very limited. Numerous online merchants offer custom build options.

If your in Australia,

I'd try and use the Australian PC Part Picker, helped immensely when I was planning my 1st PC build.
