better?

[dizmo]

If you get the Intel discount why are you not going for Coffee Lake?
The 7600k doesn't make sense with what else is available.

I'd also get a stronger GPU.

 

What are you using the PC for other than gaming?

[seon123]

Change the PSU to the CX/M. EVGA has been cherry picking review units, so the B3 you buy most likely won't be as good as the one in the Jonnyguru review. 

That's a really expensive 1050 Ti. Nearly the price of the 1060 3GB

[Flameytail]

my mobo doesnt support coffee lake(which sucks because its only like $20 more) 

and also im poor and i dont need anything stronger than that im just gonna play low level games. 

im used to getting 10 FPS on anything with this m3 core laptop running on turbo mode at 2ghz so i dont care about a crazy graphic card

 

[JaegerB]

If you're using a 1050Ti, an i5 7600k is overkill. Swap it for a ryzen 1600 and get rid of the cooler. Then you should have enough for a 1060.

 

 

All you've put down for storage is an intel 600p... That's nowhere near enough. Drop that and pick up a 250gb 850 evo and/or just a seagate 1tb hdd if you can't afford it. 

 

Swap the RAM for some cheaper 3000mhz sticks (corsair/kingston/g.skill/crucial)

 

That PSU is not the best for that price. A CX or RMx from corsair will serve you well.

You want a link to a review of a unit which isn't the one you'll buy?

Can link you Tomshardware's review.

yeah so all the ryzen or coffee lake comments are missplaced here. if you don't care about the FPS and you're sticking with 1050Ti you don't need to have the unlocked i5 you can save yourself the money. and that ebay link is good yeah

get one with a grey label as those are much better quality.

[Flameytail]

any highly recomended under $55 PSUs?

CX/M with grey label. If on sale, the Capstone, Photon are sometimes under that price.

should I just use linux? idk i dont know much about it

4

If you plan to game the most popular games you got a problem as there are almost none of them that support it (CSGO Does support Linux and should run fine on it), and running etc wine does not really make it ideal for a daily.

[Flameytail]

Is this a better power supply?

i just realized I should wait for Black Friday or the online thing on Monday to buy stuff

It's a good build, but I would change a few things.

First, get an 8700k, it has more cores, for nearly the same price.

Second, consider getting a gtx 1060. It's only like $50 more.

But aside from that your list looks good.

I already have the Z270E so i cant use the coffee lake series chips(sadly). also a 1050 TI is pretty much a 1060

[Flameytail]

I think i am going to go for the Strix 1060 6GB version. if i can afford it
