UPGRADE BUILD

[Argyris]

Hello i wanted know if i need to change something (cpu,gpu,m/b,ram,case etc).

I have for psu the Seasonic Foclus Platinum 550

And i was searching in the forums of random site the ripjaws are working 100% with the 2600(no BSOD or something like that) i dont know if this a right choice but any correction are accepted.

And im going for this case because of the space that it has and the airflow that its pretty good.

The PC Monitor is an optional choice.

 

THE PRICES ARE ALL IN EUROS.

 

Thank you.

2. CPU: INTEL CORE 2 QUAD Q6600 Overclocked at 3.0ghz (stock 2.4)

Its good thank you but i have a 550w psu not 650 so the 1700x and 1070ti are alittle too extreme i think, they are futureproof yes but my psu cant stand the hunger of those 2 badboys. And i dont think i need so much cores for gaming so thats the reason i went to 2600 (lees power consumption and runs cooler because of the 12nm) (i play only at 1080p )

**Hello i wanted know if i need to change something (cpu,gpu,m/b,ram,case etc).**

Im from Greece my budget is around 800-900 euros and i go for a 6 month upgrade schedule.

I have for psu the Seasonic Focus Platinum 550 (bought like 6-8 months ago) + i have a Voltage Stabilizer(avr pl 1000).For Storage i will use my Current SSD and HDD. And for the Case Fan i will buy 2 of them for the start.

And i was searching in the forums of random sites the RipjawsV are working 100% with the 2600(no BSOD or something like that) i dont know if this a right choice but any correction are accepted for the ram and the rest of the building . 

And a friend of mine are telling me to go to a 1070ti for easy, but im afraid that my psu wont stand a chance against it and i dont wont push it hard. Its ok to change the 1060 to a 1070ti? I will use the computer max 8-10 hours. Pc parts are showing 204w for this build.Power Supply Calcuator is showing me with this build 384w(its with the storage and the monitor). So i dont know. + I want to overclock the Cpu to 3.8ghz  

 

Thank you.

Yeah, looks good.  PSU is fine for that build, or the 1070Ti even.

 

Glad you upped the RAM speed.  I personally like the build, I am sure more will comment with minor changes possibly to tweak it a little.

So i wont have any problem even if i go to for the 1070ti with the current psu that i have?I mean its rating its Platinum but has only 550w.

Correct.  550w for that build is plenty, more than enough.  I have higher power consuming components OC'd quite a bit and I'm only pulling 400-425 from the WALL.  If you pull 350w I'll be surprised.  You're good to go.

Ok thanks for the answer i appreciate it . Would you change/add something on the build?

If you can afford it, I'd go with the 1070Ti and more SSD.  Then you can move into 1440p gaming if you wanted.  

 

If you're sticking with 1080p/60 gaming, just add more SSD when you have money, since it really helps load times for games and programs.  I love having everything on an SSD.  

 

I don't know much about that case, but I like that you're thinking about airflow and adding a fan.  

 

I like it.

For now i will stick with the 1080p/60 for the reason i dont want to spent more money on 1440p monitor. I think the 1070ti its the only choice since my psu can handle it. As for the SSD part, will stay for a while with the current and then i buy a 500GB for putting games like GTA V, Witcher 3 etc
