Is this pc good?

[Adrian18102001]

hi guys so i have already made a similar post but i have gathered more money so im thinking of getting these parts let me know what you think this pc will be used for playing gta 5,pubg and other games similar to these i want to play gta 5 on the highest settings and im fine with playing on low settings on pubg and it will be occasionally used for streaming

cpu: i5 6600k

gpu: msi gtx 960 4gb

mobo: gigabyte h110m-ds2 ddr3 skylake micro atx (only because ddr4 ram is too expensive in the uk and i already have ddr3 ram)

ram: 1x8gb balistix sport ram ddr3

psu: CORSAIR CX550 ATX PSU

1) You should get the i5 8400 and wait for B360 boards to come out. 

 

2) At least get a GTX 1060 6GB 

 

3) Get 2X4 DDR4

Ryzen is preferred with more cores, which is useful for streaming.

That works if he can lift the budget significantly.

Personally, I'd push for a better GPU, maybe a 1050Ti..?

Get ryzen 5 1600 for streaming. Even if you went intel, get a 7600k or 8400. Also go for 1060/580

Don't upgrade your processor/motherboard. 

Get more RAM, 16GB is a minimum for my builds

Upgrade your graphics card, the 1070 has an amazing price/performance balance.

 

Your motherboard/processor are most likely just fine.

Unless you intend on selling your current system to upgrade to a new system, then do whatever you want. haha.

Firstly, the glaring issue: Why a 6600K with that chipset? Unless I am wrong, then you won't be able to overclock it and so should either get a cheaper 6600/6500 or get a Z170 board.

Beyond that? People are going to push you to get newer, pricier components; if you've got a tight budget don't get obsessed with this. That said, but you would do well to get a more modern GPU, but  it all depends on what resolution you want to use - a GTX 1070 is great value, if you need the power, but probably excessive for 1080p.

 

Update your post to give a budget and a more detailed use-case and the replies may get more helpful. :-)

im not going to be doing a lot of streaming so i think i will be fine for streaming 3-5 times a month something like that

i dont think there is a big difference between both and the 960 is a bit cheaper

16gb is just not needed for gaming 8gb is enough for gaming
