So, this is a build that i've compiled with feedback from a previous thread i made, i'd like a second opinion on it since that discussion mainly consisted of 2 persons and i'd like some more feedback before i decide to spend this much money on a pc.

Any feedback is appreciated, both good and bad! Thanks in advance
 
Looks just fine to me, some might say the PSU is a little weak for long term ownership, and I'll agree in advance with them, upping it to the 550 Watt version will give some extra headroom if you decide to either overclock or upgrade to a more power hungry GPU in the future.
 


since prices are a bit higher where i live i can't really go over £900, i could stretch a bit further if neccessary though, but not a lot.

 


Ok, psus rarely break right? so it's good in the long run in the way that i won't have to upgrade later down the road?
 
No, PSUs don't fail that often, I'm suggesting you upgrade to a 550Watt unit now to give you more options in the future, the CXM450 you have selected is perfectly able to run the system you have listed.
Also, where do you live? You've given UK prices and links, does PcPartpicker have your country available?
 


i live in sweden and sadly we don't have a pcpartpicker site here, uk had the closest prices compared to sweden, although it's still a bit cheaper in the uk. but thanks for the advice about the psu, i think i'll upgrade it as you recommended :)

Bit above budget but is completely worth it.
Get that PSU from Amazon.co.uk
 


thanks for the suggestion but i really don't need a 1080, the build is going to be used for 1080p gaming on a 60-75Hz screen. also the prices for 1080s have blown up around here, the one you listed costs almost 600$ here. Also i need a wifi card with an antenna since i have a pretty bad internet connection in my room. but thanks for taking your time and responding! :)
 


this is my first build, i've been a laptop gamer for about 2 years now so i really don't know how often i'll upgrade, i guess i'll upgrade it when i feel like i'm not satisfied with the performance anymore
 
Well then probably in a year or two. It is simple if you go with GTX1070 then it will last 2-3Yrs. But if you go with GTX1080 it will last you 5Yrs with ease. You wont be needing an upgrade for extra 2-3Yrs if you spend $100 more.
 


the thing is i don't have the money to spend an extra 100 atm, and in 2-3 years i'll have a better economy to upgrade if 'd like to then
 
I'm loving my 1070, I5 combo fight now. I haven't found a game yet where I felt like I needed something better. I think the 1070 is a great GPU and is definitely this generations 970. Best price to performance ratio and since your only doing 1080p I feel like this GPU will last you a long time. You probably won't be looking for an upgrade until you decide to go full on 4K and by the time it becomes mainstream I'm sure there will be cards way better then a 1080.
