Hi, I'm planning my first time build, and would love some tips from some more experienced builders also some help finding a few parts I'm searching for.. so just to let you know how much of a newbie I am.. although I absolutely love computers.. and I'm an avid Linus watcher!  The last computer I had.. was a 2003 build bought from a computer fair powered by an amazingly slow AMD ATHLON 64.. yes 14 years ago! (Lasted until 2007) I've had a few laptops/notebooks/web books since then. Toshiba satellite/hp netbook/acer one200

 

So I am planning on starting something a bit better soon! 

 

Im looking for something to play casual gaming, I honestly prefer games like GTA V on console, so I'm more a sim city / cities skylines / space engineers / flight sim x player. 

 

 

Here is my pc parts picker list: Minus a case.. I'm planning a windowed desk build 

 

PCPartPicker part list: 

CPU: Intel Core i5-7600K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($234.79 @ NCIX US) 
CPU Cooler: Corsair H115i 104.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler  ($129.99 @ Amazon) 
Motherboard: Asus PRIME Z270-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard  ($158.88 @ OutletPC) 
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory  ($119.88 @ OutletPC) 
Storage: Corsair Force LS 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($89.99 @ Corsair) 

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($89.49 @ OutletPC) 
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB Founders Edition Video Card 
Power Supply: Corsair 850W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply  ($99.99 @ Amazon) 
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro OEM 64-bit  ($138.88 @ OutletPC) 
Case Fan: Corsair Air Series SP120 High Performance Edition (2-Pack) 62.7 CFM  120mm Fans  ($27.88 @ OutletPC) 

 

And I'm still searching for a keyboard/mouse, speakers, etc.. but that's for later! 

 

So what you think?

 

Oh and for the part I'm searching, and because I'm in Italy I don't know where to get it, a pci-e 16x riser that won't degrade the GPU  (too much) but is long enough to have it placed below the MB. Preferably black.. 

 

Thanks for any help!

give or take +/- 

No need to spend that much on a cooler

No need for 850W PSU too, get a different one, a Corsair CX450M or Seasonic S12II 430B/520B is better in quality

Don't get a Founder's Edition 1060

Why Windows pro?

You know your GPU isn't counted in the price, right?

 

So it actually comes to around $1200-$1250...

Oh well where do you live?

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

 

Do this:

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.

I fully support this build. Except maybe add some aftermarket fans to do instead of the crappy H110 ones. I know Vardars are real cheap in Europe.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here
