New Build

[NewAndy]

Building my new PC, and need help to check if this build is ok!

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Ld3Ljc

CPU: i7 6700k

GPU: EVGA GTX 1060 6GB

Motherboard: Z270

Memory: 2x8GB DDR4-2666 from Corsair (Vengeance)

Storage: 500GB SSD (Samsung EVO-Series)

PSU: Corsair CXM 650W 80+ Bronze

and then throw everything inside a Fractal Design Define R5 w/Window 

 

I'll use the PC mostly for gaming (1080p only, 60fps ata ny game (except CSGO, where I would like to have more, but if it can handle for wxample GTA 5 at 60fps, CSGO wouldn't be a problem)

I'm allready over my budget, so I would just try to find something that I don't have to spend that much on.

(is it really necessary with a 6700k? (want the option to overclock))

Hi,

 

for 1080p you don't generally need an i7, so if getting that means going over the budget then don't get it.

 

I also swapped the video card for a different model with slightly better cooling, and these days a good 550W PSU is more than enough for this kind of system. Czech this out:

You don't really need an 6700k for 1080p gaming so i'd go for a 6600k or just wait a few weeks ryzen to come out  also i'd look into an NZXT S340 instead of the fractal design case

Yeah its okay but with a budget like that this (https://www.amazon.ca/ASUS-GeForce-STRIX-Graphic-STRIX-GTX1070-O8G-GAMING/dp/B01HDUVJ1I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486856647&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+rog+1070+strix) would be a better graphics card for future proofing.

you might also want to consider the rx 480.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GpgVCy same price but a rx 480 with a top of the line cooler so you may want to consider going for the rx 480

Looks like a lot of people suggest a cheaper CPU and a 1070, while others says I don't need the 1070...

I have tried with a cheaper CPU and the 1070, but it's a lot more expensive, and I've already spent more than I should. Also, I agree with the people that says that I don't need the 1070, but I won't use this GPU, since a lot of people said the cooling was awful.

thanks for all the help!
