Make sure to include a high quality cooler for the i7-8700k. As for upgrading your 970, I would only do it if your trying to play at higher resolutions than 1080p. The 1060 6GB is only about 13% better than the 970 4GB on average.

WD Green is quite bad. You'd probably be better off reusing your current one.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Or this:

@DocSwag

 

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Sorry I missed that, and I agree with DocSwag and v0nn_toaster, with reusing old hardware.
