new computer Is this build good?

[Skelator]

Hello, what is up my dudes,

 

 

I am planning to build a new computer sometime in Summer 2018, and I'm saving up for it via lawn mowing (Thanks Linus for that idea!). I was playing around with PC picker and I have created this setup. I want to use this computer for gaming, and programming (I don't know if that changes anything). I would also like to lower the voltage use a bit. Thanks a lot

What's the sound card for? No SSD, but 32GB of RAM? Do you need that much?

[Herman Mcpootis]

don't need 32gb for programming. alot of unnecessary things inside, do you really need 12tb of storage space?

And a 10/100 ethernet card? That's straight out of 2007.

don't forget the Cisco wireless adaptor that doesn't even support 802.11n

>Sound card isn't needed. At $14, the onboard audio will be better. 

>You don't need 32GB of RAM for your needs

>The wired NIC is slower than your onboard NIC

>Why do you need a wireless NIC if you're also adding a wired NIC?

>PSU is massive overkill

>Why a surveillance HDD? They're not the best for desktop use

>Do you need 12TB of storage?

>GPU is going to struggle with that monitor at decent settings. 

>$120 on three fans

 

Ultimately, there's a lot of unneeded parts and places that could be saved on and money that would be better spent elsewhere.

Even with horrid GPU pricing, no build over 2k that isn't Apple branded should have that lower tier of graphics card.

I'm gonna be honest, nothing about this build make sense.

 

-you dont need 32GB of ram

-6TB surveillance drive? you dont need that much, and you dont want a surveillance drive

-no ssd?

-a 1060 paired with an 8700k? what?

-your choice of PSU is questionable at best

-sound cards are crap

-ethernet adapter? what? why?  your motherboards built in one is better

-wireless adaptor? wtf? it doesnt even support 802.11 N,  its significantly worth than whats built into your motherboard

-$120 for 3 fans?

-why an external drive?
