Someone please make a list of parts that must include the Phanteks Eclipse P400 or S, and a GTX 1060 or 1050 TI. NO STOCK INTEL COOLER. Ryzen is acceptable but then you would need faster ram. I need it to be a clean PC, no crazy RGB Light Strips, or extreme low-profile 1080 ti's Thanks!

Do you have a gsync monitor? That would be the only reason to require a 1060 or 1050ti. The Rx 580's prices have come down and they are even when it comes to performance with a 1060 6gb. I would go with a 580 which is significantly faster than the 1050ti.

And also isn't a 450 PSU just over the minimum power supply wattage recommended for the GTX 1060?

And also isn't a 450 PSU just over the minimum power supply wattage recommended for the GTX 1060?

The 1060 is a very efficient GPU, a decent 450 watt PSU will push a 2600/1060 no sweat. The 580 is a little bit more power hungry, a 2600 and 580 could probably run on a 450 watt, but I would want a little bit more.

These days, you really have to have an SSD. While it may not make your games much better, it will make the entire PC experience MUCH better. Loading and boot times will be increased exponentially. I would get a SSD and load your OS, applications, and a few games. Then later get a 1tb HDD and put your games on it as most games wont get the benefit from a SSD.

Also, I don't know about Canada, but in the US you can get 3 decent games bundled with the 580, makes it a really good buy.

Here is a cheap 1tb HDD.
