Planning for an PC

[Woxtrot]

So i'm probaly going to buy an pc in the near future.

I put this together: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mqcmWX

My price range is going to be around 800-900 euro. So the pc i put together is a little bit on the high end.

I'm from the Netherlands so the prices of all the parts are a little bit more expensive in my experience. (tell me if i'm wrong)

 

What do you guys think? Any tips? Did i get an overkill motherboard? 

For those who are interested, here are all the parts on the site of the store. (where i'm probaly going to but it)

CPU	Intel Core i5 7500 - 3.4 GHz								€  221,90
MOTHER	MSI Z270 SLI PLUS - Moederbord								€  162,90
RAM	Corsair Vengeance LPX - DDR4								€    74,35
COOLER	Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo								€    34,98
GPU	ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 DUAL O3G								€  239,00
SSD	Samsung 850 EVO MZ-75E250Z - Solid state drive								€  108,68
HDD	WD Blue WD10EZEX - Vaste schijf								€    54,61
PSU	Corsair VS Series VS550 - Voeding ( intern )								€    51,95
CASE	BitFenix Comrade Window - Midtowermodel								€ 44,97
TOTAL									€  993,34

get a cheaper mobo and use the money on a better psu and graphics card. the vs550 isn't a good psu and 3gb isn't enough for gaming anymore.

Get a cheap B or H series motherboard, and then invest your money in a Seasonic, XFX, or similar PSU that's Tier 3 and up. Corsair CXM is also pretty good. 

Invest also in a better GPU. Maybe RX 480 4GB, or 1060 6GB/480 8GB

It most certainly is.  Even at High/Ultra settings on AAA games, a 6GB card is going to perform marginally better.

Thanks for the tip, i'm not playing any heavy vram intensive games any time soon. So i'm sticking to the 3gb version. I will get another look to the PSU tho.

skip to 9:33, performance falls below playable due to lack of vram. and don't forget that the 3gb 1060 uses a cut-down gtx 1060 core.

There is a 3 frame difference.

 

Edit: Never mind, jumped to the wrong part.  I wish he'd said what system he was using, because other benchmarks of the same game show a much smaller gap.  It's still not like you'd be playing at those settings anyway.

480 4GB IMO is the better deal out of the two lower end cards, OP, if in your country it's a little more expensive, it's worth it.

25 fps vs 35 on the 6GB. 

That's the difference between 'oh fuck this laggy mess, I'm turning the settings down' and 'hey this may be console framerate but its okay I guess'

Oh, I went to exactly 9:33 and thought that's the graph he was talking about.  I didn't see the next one.  Anyway, it's really low for both of those cards, so neither will work in that situation.

I get your point here, but i'm staying with 1080p not 1440p. And i'm quite used to low/medium settings so it doesn't harm me that much.

Still, the 1060 6GB was on par with the 480 4GB. 

The 3GB framebuffer is what was holding the 1060 back. It's still a good card, but I'd still get the 480 > 1060 3GB

I will look into it, thank you

I think it's the CUDA core count.  Generally there's a 4-5fps difference with settings maxed out on 1080p.  If it was VRAM, there would be a bigger gap IMO.

that is good. good processor/gpu combo, good ssd, reputable memory, above average PSU.

btw, try to find out if that h110 motherboard has the kabylake bios before you buy it, h110 mobos will need that bios to work with the 7500.
