[axelcreative90]

Hey guys!

Im selling my current pc and building a new one,

Here is the part list, what would you change??

MOTHERBOARD = MSI Z270 CARBON PRO ( still not sure about this )
CPU = I5 7600K ( im oc, not too much, but i am )
GPU = 1060 6GB ( gigabyte aorus version )
RAM = 16gb by g.skill 3200 ( trident z rgb )
CPU COOLER = NZXT KRAKEN X52
PSU = TR2 700W +
SSD = 120 GB HYPER X
HDD = 2TB SEAGATE BARRACUDA

And a phantek eclipse p400 with tempered glass as a case.

What would you change? what would you add?

Im looking for a RGB light kinda build for the looks and a good/powerfull build.

Any advise for a different motherboard? ( with rgb if possible )

Ditch the 7600k and go for the 7700k or the Ryzen 5. 7600k is bad value specially at that kind of pricepoint you are spending.
Get a bigger SSD. 120GB fills out in no time.
Get a better PSU.
Go with Asus Strix E gaming motherboard. Its good.

Hey thanks for the reply!

SSD will be my next upgrade, i have a samsung 850 250gb on my pc ( the one im selling ) and i think im going to keep it.

As for the PSU, any recomendation?

How good is the OC on the strix e board?

Thanks!

I agree with Hellfire, you're spending a pretty decent amount of money, so why not spend a little bit more to get the extra power and storage.

I'd personally switch out the GTX1060 for the founder's edition GTX1070 8GB. It's a bit more expensive, but I'd personally do it.

Keep the Samsung SSD, its faster than most.

For PSU, get Seasonic S12II/M12II, Corsair CXm/RMx/RMi or EVGA Supernova G2/G3. 450-550w should be sufficient for those components. Use these as loose reference...

The board comes with lots of connectivity options, overclocking potential and features like superior audio codec with headphone amps, bluetooth and wifi... https://us.hardware.info/comparisontable/products/377817-375667

Founders Edition cards usually have heating issues mate due to blower style fan. Stay away from them unless there is no option.

Deff will keep my 850 ssd then.

I want the 1060 for now, will get the 1070 when a game i cant run properly comes out, for now i think the 1060 is enough for me. ( im not going 4k and i have a dual monitor 1080p setup )

About power, you mean a better PSU or you meant the 1070?

I will consider going for the 7700k.

Apart from that, is it a decent build?

Thanks!

Power being both processing and PSU

If you're running 1080p you'll be fine with the 1060. The rest of the build is looking really nice with stated improvements.

Good luck!
