Hi guys,

 

My girlfriend will be building a pc soon and she came to me for help picking the parts. I made the list below for her. If you could take a look for me that would be great!

I chose that 1060 because it is the cheapest 6GB 1060 here in the Netherlands.

I chose that SSD because I can get it at a discount from my employer. 

The heaviest task she will be using it for is gaming.

Thanks for your help and I'd love to hear your suggestions,

 

VicRik

Check your motherboard's support for memory speed. It doesn't seem to support your current stick.

may want more Storage for the games and Ram like 16gb as memory can be the biggest bottleneck in a system as even the fastest processor will have poor performance if not enough instructions are on fast  memory

Thanks! Will look into that. Just out of curiosity. What were to happen if I did use that stick? Would it simply not work?
