Hey guys! So i'm planning on building a new computer for myself, as mine's becoming dated.

 

This is currently what I have chosen: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XGpPqk

 

Let me know if there's anything that I should change. Thanks!

 

edit:

 

I'm trying to stick with a white & black color scheme.

 

The reason i've gone with 4 sticks of ram instead of 2 is because those were the only decently priced sticks of ram I could find that are low profile so it doesn't interfere with the cooler.

Much better PSU, CPU, and mobo, with plenty of room to upgrade.

You'd be better off with a lesser CPU and a better GPU if this is for only gaming.

 

If you plan to do some content creation then go with @Zando Bob's build

EDIT: You also might want to wait until the 1060 6GB prices go down, Vespertine's build is a good balance if you want it now though.

i like linux

I'd get a better CPU and a 1050 Ti now, then get Vega or a 1070/1080 when prices go down.
