You could put a 600W PSU cause the 700W is a bit over-kill for that build of yours..., my suggestion...

 

Think he already owns the parts

 

if so there's nothing to change, your build is fine for 1080p 60hz gaming

Toss in an SSD if anything

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

looks good! maybe add an SSD. Good power headroom for upgrades down the road.

Cept there's no reason to upgrade on that motherboard platform

Could upgrade the video card but that's probably it.

Even so, PSU could go into a future build years down the road.

U should srsly consider buying the gtx 1060 6gb instead of the 3gb , 3gb vram just isn't enough for high settings these days and won't last long for the future , and if u can't afford it it's better to cut down on the ram get 8gb instead of 16gb to get the gtx 1060 6gb, u can always add more ram in the future but there is no adding vram

That's amazing. Either invest in a better motherboard or a better cooler (but not really). Otherwise it's enough. Perhaps a 130GB el cheapo SSD will work.
