Hey, Guys, I put a Gaming PC together on PCPart-picker and wanted to see if it is any good by asking some people with more experience. I already have all the peripherals and the monitor. I am looking to play games like CS:GO and GTA 5 at 1080p. If there are any changes that you would make to this build please help me out. Thanks.

i feel like the budget isn't very balanced, you are spending more on a ssd then your cpu

In my personal opinion, it's always a good idea to spend money on quality storage devices. When your CPU breaks one day: just put in a new one. If your storage device breaks (and you have no recent back-ups), you're really screwed. I wouldn't change the balance in CPU/storage cost.

I was thinking the same thing as Dutch-Stoner, By the way, are there any other systems that could be made using Intel and using a GTX 1060 card for $650?

Not without sacrificing future upgradability like using a G4560 which doesnt support the new 8th gen CPU. Why not Ryzen? It's possible with that and you can upgrade from the budget choice of R3 1200 to an R5 1600.

CPU: i7-2600K 4751MHz 1.44V (software) --> 1.47V at the back of the socket Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (BCLK: 103.3MHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: Adata XPG 2x8GB DDR3 (XMP: 2133MHz 10-11-11-30 CR2, custom: 2203MHz 10-11-10-26 CR1 tRFC:230 tREFI:14000) GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual (Super Jetstream vbios, +70(2025-2088MHz)/+400(8.8Gbps)) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (main boot drive), Transcend SSD370 128GB PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold Case: Antec P110 Silent, 5 intakes 1 exhaust Monitor: AOC G2460PF 1080p 144Hz (150Hz max w/ DP, 121Hz max w/ HDMI) TN panel Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion (Cherry MX Blue) with SteelSeries Apex M260 keycaps Mouse: BenQ Zowie FK1

A 1050ti will meet your gaming requirements, but at $650, a r5/1060 would be much better than a i5 8400/1060, because the second one is more expensive
