Pc build feedback

[godro]

Hello, this is my first time building a pc and from a friend who has some experience in building pcs have found my way here. He helped me find a build for around $750 US that should meet my needs for regular, not hardcore gaming. I wanted some other insight into it to see if I could do anything better or if there were no problems, I put it through pc part picker and looked at parts individually. He said it should be good with little to no bottlenecking:

Intel core i5-7600k 3.8 ghz quad core, EVGA Geforce gtx 1060 6gb sc,

8gb DDR4-2400 ram,

msi b250 pc mate atx motherboard,

EVGA 500w bronze certified psu,

cooler master t2 54.8 cfm sleeve bearing cpu cooler,

deepcool sw mid atx tower case,

reused 1tb hard drive from previous pc with windows 10.

Also, can I just use this hard drive with no problems? I looked it up and have found conflicting answers.

if you have a 7600k....i'd get a z270 for overclocking support

[SamuelTheShark]

Do you plan on overclocking?

Worst time to get Intel CPUs. Next gen Coffee Lake is supposed to bring 4 core 4 thread set-up to i3s. This pretty much means you can get i5 specs at the price of an i3, with mobo compatibility to next gen CPU (usually each chipset lasts 2 CPU generations (If refresh counts as a generation)

 

If you are tight on the budget though, Ryzen should be a better option. Wait till coffee lake's release and check the prices at that time.

Personally I would wait for the next Gen intel CPUs, but if he wants to buy right now, this is what I would do with that money
