So lately my old PC has been going nuts. Crashing every 7 mins and all that annoying stuff. It was a bad one too, so i decided to buy components for a new one.

 

Here are the components.

Case: Corsair Carbide Spec-03 ATX Tower

Motherboard: ASUS Prime Z270-K LGA1151 DDR4

Processor: Intel Core i5-7500 @ 3.4GHz

Memory: Kingston Technology HyperX FURY Black 8 GB 2133 MHz DDR4 CL14 DIMM

Graphics card: ASUS Geforce GTX 1050Ti 4GB ROG STRIX OC Edition

CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2 (Liquid)

PSU: EVGA 650 BQ, 80+ BRONZE 650W, Semi Modular

HDD: WD Blue 1TB SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 64MB Cache 3.5"

Case fans: 4x ARCTIC F12 - 120mm

OS: Windows 10 Home USB (didnt want to spend extra money on pro)

Monitor will be an Acer V226HQL UM.WV6AA.B01 21.5-Inch Screen LED-Lit with a samsung 1280x1080 as the secondary monitor.

Say if this is good or not.

Why a z series board with a locked CPU? Get an h270 instead and upgrade the GPU to an rx 470. Cooler is also way overkill. Use stock cooler or go down to something like a 212 evo and use money saved to get an ssd and 16gb ram.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Pretty good. You might be able to save a bit going with a B250 or H270 motherboard. Z270 motherboards are intended for unlocked (K) series cpu.

 

You don't need a 650W psu. You may be able to save a bit going with something like the Corsair CXM 450W.

 

The Spec-03 comes with two fans. That should be sufficient for this build.

 

Good call on the Windows, the Pro version is rarely needed outside of company networks. 

 

Don't bother getting the H100i V2. It's a great cpu cooler, but really only needed if one is overclocking an unlocked cpu. The cpu comes with a stock cooler if you are buying a boxed part, use it. Use the savings to get a 240GB+ ssd.

 

If there is any budget left after adding an ssd, consider getting a larger monitor.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
