Need feedback on potential build plus help identifying potential problems

Praesidium · June 27, 2017

I'm not really here to discuss part choice.

I'm mostly here to make sure i didn't screw up by either forgetting certain parts or picking incompatible parts

I would however appreciate feedback on part choice if i managed to severly bottleneck something

I'm mostly planning on play FPS titles though i do alsp play the occasional RTS or RPG

Now to the actual build

Motherboard: ASUS Prime Z270 A

CPU: Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2 GHz

RAM: Corsair Vengance LPX Black DDR4 3000MHz 2x8GB

GPU: EVFA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB SC Gaming ACX 3.0

CPU Cooler: Cryorig H7

Case: Nzxt S340 (As far as i'm aware it comes with 2 case fans, don't know how good they are and if they warrant replacement)

PSU: EVGA BQ 600W (Couldn't find power consumption on absolutely everything, so i'm not sure if this is overkill or not, so please tell me if this is the wrong choice)

HDD: Western Digital Blue WD20EZRZ 2TB

SSD: Samsung 850 Evo MZ-75E250B 250GB

As i said mostly not here to discuss part choice, mostly if something dosen't work together or if i choice parts that's completely bonkers to have together. Going to run Win10 on it if that somehow helps.

Any and all feedback is appreciated

A 600w BQ is probably sufficient in as far as pure wattage is concerned. What wouldn't be a bad idea is going to a power supply calc (I'll link one I use) and then use the efficiency rating (bronze is 82%-85%) x by the wattage. .82 x 600 = 492w. That's the lowest it'll go. If it's ~50w higher you'll be good to overclock (double check that 50w number though, it might be 100w). Remember power supplies reach peak effieciency (that 85%) at 50% load.

meaning, if budget allows, best option would be an 850 gold (I'm not sure bronze goes up to 850w) for a 450w-500w load estimate.
