My budget gaming PC

Here is my final choice to my PC build. Are there any incompatible parts I do not know about, any input is looked forward too. Thank you!

[Firewrath9]

not really a budget build, with a 1060, go for a 1080p 75hz or a 1440p monitor imo.

the cpu cooler is overkill and a cryorig h7 is a better choice anyways.

GET A SSD.

it will help a lot.

those fans look sketchy. arctic makes some nice cheap PWM fans.

[SolarNova]

Personaly i would go with a Ryzen 5, ditch the aftermarket cooler, and get a SSD. Also switch out the 1tb HDD for a cheaper one.

You could also get better memory for that price.

With the above changes plus ditching the extra fans you could potentialy get a GTX 1070 inplace of the 1060 and have roughly the same cost as your intial parts list.

you will have lagging issue with the configuration. the HDD is way to slow at around 120MB/s

you should be able to get a M.2 GEN 3x4. anything with a read speed of 1600 or higher SHOULD be what you need. you will get more performance from a M.2 that you will from most other things. 

[asus killer]

why the separate wireless card, wouldn't it be better to get that money and buy a better motherboard with wifi

[jiyeon]

You should reconsider your case fan choice, those Cooler Master ones look cheap and sktechy despite their 69CFM claim. Picking up instead some Arctic F12 fans or Corsair AF, SP, or ML fans will likely be a better option.

 

You should also consider an SSD as a boot device. Your PC will perform much better in the loading times specifically with an SSD instead of a lone HDD.

 

Also, why such an expensive Wi-Fi card?

[dizmo]

• Ditch the hybrid drive and get a 120gb ssd/1TB HDD.
• Get a better case. For an extra $10 you can get a significantly better one, with tempered glass.
• Don't bother with the WiFi adapter. As others have suggested, upgrade the motherboard to one with built in WiFi.
• Get a better PSU. The CXM from Corsair is usually on sale.
• You don't really need additional fans. Money can be better spent elsewhere.
• I personally wouldn't get a Razer keyboard. For a similar price there are much better options.

Would a seagate firecuda be better?

it'll only perform at ssd-like speeds for the most used programs, everything else runs at HDD speeds. not worth it.

I am only looking for a quick start up for windows, that is it.

I am not spending like 80 dollars on storage just to boot up windows.

My budget is 1250$. This is as good as I can see what I can get.

it's much worse. the stock cooler is fine for an i5 8400, if temps are too high then grab an M9i, aidos or hyper 212, whichever is cheaper.

not rly. yes the spin speed matters on HDD but you want at a minimum for the OS a SSD or a NVME m.2 I recommend the 960 EVO or 970 EVO for samsung on NVME or the 860 EVO SSD. 

 

however that said that dive would make a good steam drive so keep it and also ADD a SSD or NVME gen3x4 drive. if the NVME R/W speed are 1600MB per second or greater it most likely is a GEN3x4

way too pricy I say. I cannot spend 80 dollars for a fast boot time.
