Are these specs good for a gaming PC?

[AskewScissors]

So after the feedback from my previous thread, I decided to change up some stuff and I would like to know if everything is compatible with each other and be good for running games on high/ultra 1080p 60fps.

Specs:
Case:Corsair carbide series
CPU: i5 7600
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB
RAM:Kingston hyper X Fury 8 GB DDR4
Storage: Western digital 1TB
Motherboard: Asus prime z270-p 1151
Power Supply: Ms-tech 550w

If the power supply is the MS-N550-VAL Rev. B then I'd look for something better. That 400W PSU doesn't include the required PCI Express cables.

Yes,it is that one but it's 550w not 400w

With only 35W on the 12V rails, it should be considered as a 400W PSU. You selected very good components; why the crappy PSU? It's the most important component in your build.

Can yo please name some good ones then? I am hitting a 1000 dollar with all these specs so in trying to pipe it down a bit.But I agree it's an important component so please name some good ones

Where will you buy? Any 500W PSU in the tier 1, 2 and 3 (if budget really is tight) will be fine: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html Make sure the PSU provides at least one 6-pin and one 8-pin PCI Express connector. The PSU that you selected would be tier 5 (to be avoided).

Anything by seasonic
Evga b2,g2,GS,GQ,b3 - any of those.
Corsair cxm 450/550

Any xfx model PSU apart from the xt range


If you need to cut costs then a b250 or h270 board should be cheaper than that z270.

The z270 is only necessary for overclocking k series chips (which you aren't buying) & sli graphics (which the 1060 doesn't support)

What country are you ?? Because $1000 sounds a lot for those components.

Thank you everyone for your feedback.Yes I know the Mobo is an overkill but it's the cheapest one for 1151 socket. 🙁

But other than that are rest of the specs good?

Its a well balanced system mate.
Personally I'd take a ryzen 1600 over any locked i5 but that may not be doable in your prices depending on location.
