Computer Build Budget Insights

[byte0215]

Guys! What you think of this build. Made this for my friend, his budget around $870.

1) will my motherboard handle the ram,gpu and cpu well?

2) the psu rating on pcpartpicker was 270w, is it ok just to go with my psu in the build?

Should be fine across the board. No wasted money, should be a solid performer

It will work, but:

- Why a motherboard from ECS?

- Why pair a small motherboard with a full size ATX tower?


If you get a 50 dollar case you'll be able to afford a GTX 1060 6GB / RX 480 8GB.

ECS boards are garbage.

2x4gb is better then 1x8 gb.

This is better, and I got a 550w psu so that there is room for upgrades.
Still leaves $40 in budget. If can spend another $20 then a 120gb ssd for OS would be a very nice performance addittion:

yes that PSU is fine. I'm running a 6700k with a 1070 (no OC) on a 450w PSU. The parts are really power efficient these days compared to just a few years ago.
