1060 build

[Seazer]

Hey, I'm starting on my first build and am looking for thoughts on my planned setup. Hoping to run most games at 1080p and 60fps<

Gtx 1060 6gb oc

Intel I5 8400

Corsair Vengeance lpx 8gb of Ram

Asus ROG strix B350-F Motherboard

Samsung 960 EVO 500gb ssd

Rosewill Gaming S351BU313 ATX Mid Tower

Corsair 550x Power Supply

Not compatible motherboard/CPU, the NVMe drive is a waste of money, and I can't tell which PSU you've selected.

B350 board won't work, that's AMD.

Go with PCPartPicker.com to go with their compatibility tool.

Besides an incompatible motherboard any other suggestions to bring the cost down or increase performance. 

[Fasauceome]

an 860 evo would be cheaper and not hinder gaming performance whatsoever.

2 sticks of ram will be better than 1.

For your budget, you could choose a ryzen 5 2600 (better than the 8400 for cheaper or same cost I believe), and pair it with the mobo you choose (or a better one like the b450-a pro or b450 tomahawk), and 2x4 ram is faster than 1x8. Aso, that case is made of cheap plastic (if its the one I think it is, and youd be better of getting something like the fractal design focus g)

So you think it needs more ram?

[Seazer]

Ok, thanks a lot. That power supply should still be enough for overclocking right?

No idea, since you haven't said which PSU it is. Is it the VX, CX, CXM or RMx?

[Seazer]

RMx

no, 8gb is fine, but having 2 sticks of 4 gb is faster than 1 stick of 8 gb
