Building a new pc

[nembsuu]

Good day! So, im getting my first custom build where I actually picked the parts for myself and am planning building it myself. I wanted to post my planned build here to see what are your thoughts about it. Been doing my own research about pc parts but posting here just to be safe haha

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/h4Z4VY

What do you think about the i5 7600k? Since its KB and how thermals have been on the 7700k, you reckon the 7600k might be running hot as well? Compared to i5 6600k. Both i5 7600k and i5 6600k are about the same price here, 7600k being slightly cheaper.
Also, do you think the 650w psu good enough or should I get a bigger psu for future upgrades?

Insight would be much appreciated

EDIT: updated psu on pcpartpicker

All of your parts are well-chosen, except for the PSU. The 650W is more than enough, but the SuperNova NEX G is a lower-tiered PSU than some of the other PSUs available for almost the same price. I would highly suggest replacing the PSU with the EVGA SuperNova G2 550 (550W) or SuperNova G2 650 (650W) or SuperNova G3 550 (550W) or SuperNova G3 650 (650W) or Corsair RM550x (550W) or Corsair RM650x (650W).

A 550W good-quality PSU such as the aforementioned models will handle your rig, even with OC, and even if you plan to go for a GTX 1080 or GTX 1080 Ti. If the price between the 550W and the 650W models are close, getting the 650W would be a good choice especially if you are thinking of getting a GTX 1080 Ti in the near future to pair with that unlocked CPU - in which case, your power draw would roughly hover around 50% of the 650W PSU's output, which is the point where PSU's efficiency is at its highest.

Ah, no idea why I´ve picked NEX G on pcpartpicker. Been looking to get the EVGA G2 650, must of misclicked haha. What do you think about the cooling? Thanks for the reply

Great performing and great looking CPU cooler, that be quiet! Dark Rock 3. Similar performance with those good-quality Cryorig's and competes with some of those AIO liquid coolers

Good choice.

Not a good balance there, can be greatly improved.
What's your budget including GPU?

 

[Mike3k24]

There's better options you can do. Plus the gpu you chose is not available so what's your full budget?

My budget is about 1500€ give or take. All parts are available here.

 

[Chugalug_]

Open to buying from Germany?
They have the best prices.

Nope, nowhere near the best for the money, can easily be improved.
I'll post in a bit.

Just shy of a 240GB SSD.

Not too confident about buying pc parts from another country tbh. Also, isnt the 7700k bit hot? Been reading reviews about it and most have said it runs unusually hot. Tbh the 7700k might be overkill for me, because I really dont do streaming, video editing or anything. i5 should be fine right?

 

[Chugalug_]

No it isn't, it's alright, just need a good cooler.
An i7 will greatly improve game performance, and Mindfactory are very reliable, not to worry.
If you don't want to OC, get this.

I think ill just stick to the i5 7600k. How much of a bottleneck would the 1080 be compared to 1070?

 

[Chugalug_]

Go for the 7700 list, chuck in a 960 evo if you want. It outperforms a 7600k and costs less.
Also its a 1080 Ti, about 60-70% faster than a 1070.

 

[raisonjohn]

Stick with the i5-7600K if you are concerned with temperature spikes of the i7-7700/7700K (https://www.techpowerup.com/233018/temperature-spikes-reported-on-intels-core-i7-7700-i7-7700k-processors?cp=4). The i5-7600K can handle the GTX 1080 with ease and even a GTX 1080Ti (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17VRKPjyiTBx9Ewc2xkmaMZD2tA3gSOG3rNtH4OEiz3g/edit#gid=0). You won't get any advantage going for a 4C/8T CPU if your main use of the PC is gaming, as you have clearly mentioned (no streaming, video editing, etc.) Save the money for better more important components.

 

[Chugalug_]

If you're concerned about temps still go for the 7700 and just slap a decent air cooler on....
Even in gaming, 4 threads is rapidly falling behind.
This is a last gen comparison since Digital Foundry didn't make one for the 7 series, but it portrays the exact same thing i'm talking about.
Compare the stock 7700k with the OC'd 7600k which should give you a good metric.
Save for The Division which isn't that CPU intensive, the differences are substantial.

 

[Mike3k24]

Yeah I agree with Chug, stay away from 4 Threads. Go for an i7 or a Ryzen CPU

 

[Chugalug_]

Not Ryzen for gaming.
