Building my own gaming pc - is it good or do I need to change?

[Deleted member 1267329]

Hello, I'm building my own gaming pc and I would like you guys to tell me if I need to change any components in order to make it better.

Here it is:
PSU: EVGA GQ 650w
CPU: Intel i5-6600k
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4 PC25600/3200MHz CL16 2x8GB (F4-3200C16D-16GVKB)
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB OC (GTX 1060 6GT OC)
MOTHERBOARD: MSI Z170A PC MATE / Z170 or MSI Z170A PRO GAMING ...not sure.
SSD: Samsung SSD 750 EVO 250GB
Cabinet cooler: Arctic Cooling F12 PWM 120mm Fan Low Noise
Arctic Cooling F8 80mm Fan Low Noise

What cpu and exactly which EVGA 650w Gold psu?

You need to specify the cpu model and its specs

the CPU is i5-6600k

here is the link to the PSU; http://www.webhallen.com/dk-da/computerkomponenter/241103-evga_powersupply_gold_650w_modular

Looks good. Get a middle priced Z170 motherboard, not one of the cheaper ones, and definitely not a super expensive one. Something like the Asus Z170-A

For 1080p gaming any i3+ cpu (perhaps except the slowest one - 6100T) will be sufficient, for above 1080p you'll have to cut down details to keep high framerate. So imho it looks good. I'd go for i5-6400...
Between those two motherboards Gaming Pro seems to make sense only if you want to output audio via optical connector (SPDIF) or wanted to run two graphic cards in SLI.

As for SSD I'd suggest taking M.2 one (Samsung 850 EVO M.2 etc.), you save two cables cluttering the PC that way... if you can get it on not too much above 750EVO price.

so asus z170 instead of msi z170? I thought they were same but only different brand.

Well the i5-6600k isnt that expensive here. As for the motherboards, what do you mean by audio output? And no I dont want to run SLI in the near future I guess 😀

The Asus Z170-A and MSI Z170 Gaming M5 are roughly equivalent boards.

Would you say this pc is gonna pull the newest games the next 4 years?

 

[CTurbo]

The video card is the only thing you'll need to replace by then. It's a lot to ask for any video card to stay relevant for 4 years.

4 years ago, the GTX680 was the king(well until the 690 of course), and it's merely equal to a GTX960 now.

ok, what graphics card can I buy now that can stay good for 4 years?

None of them. In 4 years, even the GTX1080 would not be very good.

100 years ago, ppl were flummoxed at cars that would go over 20mph. 50 years ago cars were just getting over 100mph and nowhere near 40mpg. Today we have cars that'll easily do over 100mph and get 40mpg. It's called progress. Unfortunately, in the world of electronics, vehicle years equate to weeks. In 4 years time you'll be finding gtx970s on eBay for less than $50 and they'll be considered the equivalent of a 750ti today.
