Upgrading my pc.

Hey guys,

              My name is Moeplazz and nice to meet you. So, for the past few months,  I was wondering if I should upgrade my PC or not. I think I should. I've come up with a good part list. I've missed some parts eg. Power supply.  That's because I already have one. So please don't freak out when you see parts missing. Also if you think any choices was wrong please let me know but I am not willing to change any peripherals, case or CPU cooler.

Edit: Do I need a hue+ for the NZXT Aer fans?

You are buying an over the top motherboard, memory, CPU cooler, fans, and yet you get a gtx 1060? I suggest you get a gtx 1070. Also if you are gaming perhaps an Intel CPU is a better option.

 

Well I could get 1070 but it'll take a bit longer and I will upgrade slowly, not all at once. I don't have that much money.

Gaming and content creating.

Is the RGB theme very important to you? I would know a few more price efficient components, that would be great for a silent build with the same specs. Pros would be more money left for better peripherals; Cons on the other hand of course: boring look :P

The build looks fine bar the GPU...

Either get a cheaper 1060 6GB or spend a little more and get a 1070 :P 

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

I think RBG is important to me. Right now I got a Fractal design define r4, no glass side panels and my peripheralshas no led's except for my headphones... and I am kinda upset.. and regreting the fact that I bought that case now it'll be hard to take things out, get a new case and shov the comments in again..

As for the PSU, this would be a perfect choice for yer ;)

I see, in that case, I understand your choice of components. Little tip: get the corsair hd 120's instead of the nzxt fans. (I am pretty sure they also come in a 3 pack with controller).

If you feel as spending all that extra is worth it then go for it.

To be honest, NZXT Aer is kinda famous and I just wanna follow the people that actually buy it if you know what I mean but anyway I'll check it out.

I've checked it out but can you see the difference? The LED in the picture, you can literally see it. I want to hide the LED light bulbs.

Oh and I forgot, your CPU cooler is not compatible with AM4 Mobos.

Yes I know but I saw on NZXT Support, they can give you a AM4 bracket if you show proof of purchase, people told me and I checked myself but I don't know whether it's reliable or not..

ok cool that's a nice touch. I am sure it will turn to be quite the looker, your build I mean :D . I recently made a corsair 570x build for a friend (the case consisting of tempered glass all around), which is why I recommended the corsair fans because they looked quite great with the build. Best to make your own experiences if you are not sure (I wasn't either, I usually buy noctua fans). Trial and error :)

despite what everyone else hs said i'd save a bit of money and go with an Kraken X52 and my personal preference for cases is the Phanteks P400s TG case over the S340 Elite.
