First Ever PC Build - Need Feedback Please!

[btaghav1]

Hello,

So I'm building my first PC ever. Very exciting, but at the same time very confusing. I'm trying to make sure that all the components match (especially Case, MB, PSU and SSD) and that there are no major bottlenecks. Here's the build I have in mind:

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC ($289.99)
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487261&cm_re=gtx_1060_SC-_-14-487-261-_-Product
CPU: Core i5 7500 ($204.99)
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117730&cm_re=core_i5_7500-_-19-117-730-_-Product
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) Intel Z170
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231888
Motherboard: ASRock H270 Pro4
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157735&cm_re=asrock_h270_pro4-_-13-157-735-_-Product
PSU: SeaSonic G Series SSR-550RM 550W
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151119&cm_re=SeaSonic_G_Series_SSR-550RM_550W-_-17-151-119-_-Product
Case: Rosewill - Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147184
HHD: WD 1TB
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236339
SSD: Kingston A400 2.5" 120GB SATA III TLC
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820242399

I tried to make sure that everything ticks and ties, but I'm not so sure. Here are the my main questions:
1. Am I missing any parts (disregarding Keyboard, mouse, and the OS)?
2. Any problems with the MB, case and PSU combo?
3. Is the SSB compatible with the MB?
4. Any additional recommendations?

Any feedback is appreciated!

Thanks!

You'd be much better off with a Ryzen build. I don't know your exact budget, but I think this is in the ballpark.

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. Makes sense to go with a Ryzen Build.
Just a couple of questions:
1. Any reason you decided to go with M.2 SATA III SSD drive instead of 2.5" SATA III SSD? Any major difference between the two? Since they're both SATA III I would not imagine that there would be any difference.
2. The mentioned motherboard supports DDR4 3200 (OC mode), but the RAM runs at DDR4-3000. Is that going to cause any issues, or maybe even cause the RAM to operate at the lowest speed (2133)? If so I may end up getting DDR4-3200 RAM
3. This question is rather subjective. This is supposed to be a 1080p gaming PC. Would you say that it would be worth it to go with GTX 1070 ($160 extra) to make the PC a little more future proof? Would the system then be bottlenecked by CPU?

Thanks again for the feedback!

1. No difference in performance. I picked it because I think 120GB is too little, it's good to have 250GB+ so you can have a couple of games on it that benefit from faster loading times, like open world games and MMOs. This one happens to have 275GB, so even better + it's two cables less you need in the case, since it runs straight off the motherboard.
2. Not gonna cause any issues. You won't benefit from any faster memory until you have a GPU in the GTX 1080-1080 ti territory. You can go 3200Mhz for future proofing if you'd like.
3. As you say, subjective. I usually more often regret spending too little, rather than too much, but that's just me 😉. The system would not be bottlenecked with that CPU. It basically means you have to turn down one notch of eye candy settings one year ish earlier/later. So in the long run, it can actually be a better investment to go one tier of GPU higher, because you'll replace it later than you would if you didn't.

Glad to help

Yeah everything you said makes sense. I think I'm gonna go with GTX 1070, but that means I'm gonna need a better PSU...

Thanks a lot for the help!
