I've been working on a PC build a few months ago (first build) that I assumed would work just fine with all the parts at use ..... come a little bad RNG and I realized that either my CPU or MOBO was a doa. [I ran into an issue where the PC would start up along with all other functionalities but I was getting no video output to my monitor] and with that lost all motivation to go on. Come 2 months of the rest of my parts building dust on my table and I think I'm finally ready to finish what I started. 

PC specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/TheBreadBakery/saved/

 

Also just wondering... because these parts have been laying around for quite some time, will the dust that has accumulated effect any performance? I will obviously clean it off but has the dust changed it somehow?

Current parts that I should be using 

- GTX 1060 

- 1TB HD

- Cooler (.... its such a pain to install so I'm considering swapping for convenience >:()

- RAM

- 250 GB SSD

- 650 80+ gold PSU (I had recently purchased another PSU when I was coming up with conclusions on why my PC was not working, an 800W bronze. Not sure which would work better)

- Windows 64 bit - - - - - [I SEEM TO HAVE ACCIDENTALLY PURCHASED THE DISC VERSION and I don't want to bother purchasing a disk drive... what route do I take here?]

 

Current parts that need to be replaced 

- MOBO

- CPU [preferably id still like an i5 processor or anything intel branded] 

 

I can check myself and have this post updated to see what everyone else thinks, but id like more on the cheap side of recommendations that can still synergize well with the current parts I have. Does anything else in the list of usable parts need to change to meet these requirements? Im open to all suggestions and can change if needed. Thanks for your time!

Is there something wrong with my SSD and GPU already? Id like to try to spend as little money as possible and try to preserve what I already have.

Total is 1274.57 compared to yours at 1622.32


The parts i've picked are faster especially the cpu in which is an 8th gen, a newer 860 evo SSD, a 6gb gtx1060 (compared to your 3gb 1060).

I chose the newer gen H700 case for you instead for better airflow and better cable management.

U saved around 350 dollars while getting a newer, faster products. You can even upgrade to a GTX 1070ti with that kind of money.
