Check out my $900~ PC build! (need recommendations/warnings)

[Deleted member 2214191]

Hey guys! This is my first post on this site and I'd like some help on this PC build I am working on for the future.

Here it is:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LCGzXH

So I've decided to go with a 6600 over the 6600k because I don't want to overclock. I don't play very new or demanding games, only really CS:GO, minecraft, TF2, Gmod, Fallout, (lots of other source games) but I've decided to go with something that would last a long time.

I've chosen 16gb of RAM because I will be video editing, so I want a sufficient amount of it. Also I like to listen to music/streams while playing some games.

I've chosen a GTX 1060 because It's a pretty good card for 1080p gaming, and I will also be recording the games.

So what I would like to ask is if this build is good for the price, ($879.10 right now) and will this run the games listed earlier at full HD 1080p on a 144hz monitor?

The build is incomplete, so I'd like to know if I could swap out some parts just to safe a little bit of money.

Thanks!

I made a few changes for the better. You had a terrible psu selected and your RAM was way overpriced. Those were the two biggest concerns. I was able to throw in a much better motherboard and ssd while keeping the price down.

It is a good build, the only thing I would recommend is to get at least 240GB SSD. I have 120GB and I am having problems trying to keep it empty as everything you install part of it will go to OS which suppose to be installed on SSD.

Thanks, but why would you pick a gigabyte gtx 1060 over the evga version? I said I would not overclock, and even if i were to overclock my gpu, I would not get much of a performance boost, as I am playing non demanding games.

Either would be fine. I went with the Windforce because it's $10 cheaper and has two fans. Not a big deal. The EVGA would be fine too.
