Hi. How good is this build? I'm bit worried, cause when I inserted gpu, my pc comes unstable, laggy(mouse pointer comes slow and laggy). Also gpu, not perfectly fits to case, gpu ports is to high, and almost same level to case frame! Should I worry about short circuit, or something? I try to download some stuff, and pc also comes laggy, maybe it's wifi adapter fault, should I use cord, or something? After all try to play some games, very happy, rise of tomb raider, runs smooth on high, very high settings ~40 fps. I'm bit disappointed, maybe gtx 1060 ti 3 gb, could be better buy for ~50 $ more... Ehh...

Also I wanna add some fans to my build, it's good?

Can you recommend me good cpu for money? And stronger gpu for future?

Don't judge me too much. Cpu + mobo + ram, I get cheap as hell, for 130$, plan to sell i3 and upgrade to something better. For 200$ I can get only Ddr4 ram 2 x 8 gb 😀 So how everything is start. Sorry for english, and thanks.

You just went from an I3 to an I7 or Xeon so extreme low end to HEDT or Workstation type build there is a world of difference there.

When you figure out what you really want let us know because your just wasting our time right now.

Well that cpu is very weak.
An alternative sticking mostly to what you picked here https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tF4hkd
but a stronger CPU which you can also upgrade later with AM4 being supported till 2020 and DDR4 bringing you into the future kicking and screaming :/
Seriously DDR3 for a new build is not good.
I kept to the same SSD / HDD / 16gb of ram / Case / etc as you did
If you really want to upgrade later anyway forgo the 1050ti for now and buy a newer video card later.

PS be sure to get an updated MB Bios
