Can You Tell Me If This PC Is Good Enough For Future Games? & Is it a good match with each other ? Thanks Please Help Me ?

[Sam Dactyle]

Ram = Corsair 16 GB

Processor = Intel Core I5 6600K 6th Generation

Motherboard = Gigabyte H150 (Or Should I go for something else?)

Graphic Card = Nvidia GTX 960 4GB (Gigabyte)

Hard Disk = 2TB (Western Digital)

Option 1 : Power Supply = Corsair 650 Watt SMPS + Cooler Master Cabinet.

Option 2 : Power Supply : Antec 650 Watt + Antec Cabinet.
Which One Should I get? Option 1 or Option 2 ?

Keyboard+Mouse

Printer = HP (Print,Scan & Copy)

UPS (Microtec)

Is it good enough for future games? & Is it a good match with each other? Thanks Please Help Me.

Ram - get 8 gigs
CPU - i5 6400
Motherboard - keep
GPU - get a 380
HDD - keep
PSU -Antec with a cheap case.

1. The i5-6600K with an overclock is about the strongest gaming cpu you can buy today.
Be aware that you need to buy a cooler since it does not come with one.
A simple tower type air cooler with a 120mm fan is all you need, 14nm runs cool.
Cryorig H7 or cm hyper122 are popular.


2. Pick a Z170 based motherboard to allow you to overclock.

3. GTX960 is a fine card, If you will be gaming at 1080P, I might suggest a GTX970 would be more appropriate.

4. I will never again build without a ssd for the "C" drive. It makes everything you do much quicker.
120gb is minimum, it will hold the os and a handful of games. If you can go 240gb, you may never need a hard drive.

I would defer on the hard drive unless you need to store large files such as video's.
It is easy to add a hard drive later.
Samsung EVO is a good choice.

5. Separate your psu decision from your case(cabinet) decision. Budget corsair power supplies are not considered great quality, Antec is probably better.
Pick a tier 1 or 2 unit from a list such as this:
https://community.newegg.com/eggxpert/computer_hardware/f/135081/t/45344.aspx?Redirected=true
650w is a good size, it will run a graphics card as strong as a GTX980ti.

6. If a case has two 120mm front intake fans or better, it will do the job.
Bust your budget if you need to for a case you love. It will be with you for a long time.

I didn't understand about Cooler but I know I'll need to buy it separately I'll buy it... thanks
as for Z170 it is really expensive and out of my budget will H150 Gigabyte work well ? I don't wanna do overclock since I don't know what overclock does and how we do it...again GTX 970 is also out of my budget I hope 960 will do well ? again SSD is also out of the budget but I can try to get 64 GB SSD with 2 TB WD Hard disk. Because I have more than 800 Movies Blu Ray + 1000 videos and songs and my stuff. ok I'll go buy Antec power supply with Antec cabinet then thank you so much bro you don't know how much you are helping me I really appreciate it. now can you please tell how do i know if my power supply and cabinet is which tier... ? you mean to say i should buy tier 1 or 2 but not 3,4 or 5 right ? & can you tell me the which model should i buy of corsair ram 16 gb ? model number and how will i know the DDR thing ? Thank you very much bro.

Lots of questions, let me see if I can address them.

1. A "K" suffix processor is intended to be overclocked, the only question is by how much. Think 25-30%
For that, you will need a Z170 based motherboard. The H150 will not allow overclocking.
You will need a cpu cooler since the i5-6600K does not come with one.
You need not overclock, but it is easy, safe, and the main reason for a "K".
It is done by simply raising the default multiplier from 35 to a number in the 40 to 45 range.

Actually, since budget is an issue, consider using a i3-6100 and the H140 motherboard(exactly what make/model? ram requirements may differ). It comes with a cpu cooler.
It will play most games better than the 6600k at stock.

2. No problems with a GTX960.

3. 60gb ssd is no good. It will fill up quickly and slow down. But believe me, once you use a ssd for the "C" drive, you will never go back.
With a store of movies and videos, they are best stored on a hard drive. If you use a ssd for windows and apps, you can use a less expensive WD green for bulk storage.

4. A GTX960 will need a 450w psu. Can you provide a link to the cabinet you are considering? If the wattage is OK, the antec power supplies are usually of decent quality.

5. Ram requirements differ according the the exact motherboard.
Do buy a 16gb kit of 2 x 8gb.
Go to the corsair web site and access their ram selection app.
Enter your motherboard, and you will get a list of compatible ram kits.

I understood what you are saying but I'll stick with the same motherboard & processor cause i have no other choice as for over clocking i can replace my motherboard next year maybe ? if I'll have money then... Can i buy a cheap CPU cooler with 6600K ? ok I'll try for SSD more than 60 GB but for that I'll need to cut on something so I'll sell my Oven...!!! I can't provide a SMPS + Cabinet because I'm buying all this stuff from a store near my house & i don't know the model number but it is costing me 130 US Dollar for both, 7100 Indian Rupee. I understood about the ram thanks bro. I'm Sam Dactyle you can add me on Facebook.

hey i bought some of the things you suggested check my new question

 

[geofelt]

6600k will run just fine on a cheap cooler, even the intel stock cooler.

The cheapest and best cooled case is no case at all. You really do not need one, just lay your parts out on a table.
Not so good though if you have cats or kids around.
I have no problem with a cheap case.
Even if it does not have great cooling, you can remove the side covers.

thanks and this is what i bought today

Ram = Corsair 8 GB (I'll buy another 8 GB next month)

Processor = Intel Core I5 6600K 6th Generation with Cooler Master Fan (This Processor does not come with a fan so I bought fan separately )

Motherboard = Gigabyte H170

Graphic Card = Nvidia GTX 960 4GB (Gigabyte)

Hard Disk = 2TB (Western Digital)

Power Supply = Antec 650 Watt + Antec Cabinet.

SSD = 120 GB

Keyboard+Mouse = Dell (Wireless)

Printer = HP (Print,Scan & Copy)

UPS = (Microtec)

Two suggestions that you may not be able to fix.

1. The H170 motherboard will not let you overclock.
You are leaving 30% cpu performance on the table without a Z170 motherboard.

2. am is sold in kits for a reason.
A motherboard must manage all the ram using the same specs of voltage, cas and speed.
Ram from the same vendor and part number can be made up of differing manufacturing components over time.
Some motherboards can be very sensitive to this.
That is why ram vendors will NOT support ram that is not bought in one kit.
It is safer to get all you might want up front in one kit.

I really don't understand the second part now i've bought it am i *****d ? 🙁

On ram, buying a second kit of even the exact make and specs is not guaranteed to work.
It likely will work, but that is a chance you take.

You did not say if the ram you bought was a single 8gb stick, or a 2 x 4gb kit.

When, in the future you buy another 8gb, there is some possibility that it will not be compatible with your initial 8gb.
Sometimes this can be fixed by bios ram settings, usually increasing the ram voltage.

That is why I suggested buying a 16gb two stick kit up front.

We all have budgets, and 16gb is rarely really needed. .
8gb is enough.
Use what you have.
Do not anguish over the decision.

I'm bought 8 GB just 1 kit and after a month i'll buy another 8 GB so it will be like 8 GB x 2
so all that i bought is pretty much good right i mean that motherboard problem is not that big right ?
& I understood you I'll buy the same ram next month no other company same company same power.
