that looks good. If you wait a while, the prices may go down, but NVIDIA said that that would only happen in Q3

Seems good. If possible :

 

1 - Try get a little better Power supply : EVGA G2 550 W per example,

 

2- Maybe ditch that HDD and buy a 500 GB SSD instead if you think 500 GB would be enough, if not, keep 250 with 1 TB HDD

Looks pretty good to me, but as a owner of the s340, I wouldn't buy it again. Don't get me wrong, it's a fine case, but knowing you can get a Meshify C from Fractal design for a little more, I'd get that. This is just a cosmetic decision of course :)

Why should the price go down?

Cryptocurrency "stability"

 

There is nothing that says that price WILL go down.

 

I say just buy it unless you can predict futur

Agreed, maybe a better CPU cooler as well.

What's the difference between the EVGA G2 550 W and my power supply?

@Crunchy Dragon What's wrong with my CPU cooler?

It's not the best cooler unless you're on a pretty tight budget. I personally would get a Dark Rock Pro 3(assuming your budget can fit that).

For anyone who plays multiple games, 500gb likely will not be enough.  If you plan on only playing ~3-4 games, 500GB may be enough.

 

I have several games that clock in at just over 100gb each.

Is it possible to just run windows on the SSD, and my games on the HDD?

Rating. Long term.

 

CX are "ok"

 

like I said, IF you can afford it, it ensure a more "safe" usage in the long term

You can search for "psu list" in the forum in the top search section of the website, and find the PSU list by TIERs

 

Again, if u can afford it $ then go for an EVGA G2

Yep.  Thats why I usually recommend 240-500gb SSD + 2tb or larger HDD.

 

I keep windows and 1-2 games on the SSD.  Things where loading times matter, like PUBG or ARK.

There is not much difference in games loading in most cases.

 

One of  the biggest one I see a difference in is BF1

 

 

If you want to save money, you can go 240 GB SSD for windows and all games video music on HDD. 

 

windows take around 20 GB so you should have room for 1-2-3 games that you want to have flawless running
