Thinking of Building a PC... Opinions and tips?

[Matt.J.S]

Hello LTT Viewers,

 

Thinking about building a PC but I haven't finalized all my parts.

 

Current Build

I5 6700K

16 GB

Coolermaster hyper-212-evo

Asus 7170 - A

GTX 1060 6GB FTW

 

  ^^^ Don't know what that is 

Corsair Carbide 200R series 

1 Inbuilt fan

 

Any tips from you guy's collective intellectual wisdom.

What's your purpose or uses for your build.

do you mean an i5 6600k or a i7 6700k? also i would highly recommend getting a ssd boot-drive as they make your computer much faster on startup and feel overall snappier.

Also, do you need an OS, do you have anything from a previous build like storage, monitors, keyboard, ect.. and what country are you shopping from?

Just know you won't get the best OC performance that you are paying for with a K series and Z170 Board with a 212 evo... Also I highly recommend a SSD, they are super cheap these days

There are plenty of good boards, the ASUS one is great, that is the brand I personally stick with. If you don't want to watercool than maybe something like a Noctua D15 or Cryrorig R1, but those are pretty huge and for not much more money you can get a decent AIO

Cheers mate went to my local computer store and found that the Asus Strix 1070 actually has come down in price so i'll probably get that. Cheers mate for the help
