Hey guys, after having played games on my 2011 macbook for 6 years i have finally gotten myself together to build my very first gaming pc !
I have researched and read quite a bit about the basics and all the parts, but i need some help to check for bottlenecks and other rookie mistakes
This is the build i had in mind:
CPU:
Intel i5 Quad-Core i5-6600 3.3GHz Processor
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0136JONRM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
Gpu:
EVGA 3GB GeForce GTX 1060

Power:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00GP5Y5HI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_8?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A17AS5ETPMZ9A1

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00I0MKMG2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_7?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
SSD:
Crucial MX300 275 GB SATA 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State Drive with 9.5 mm Adapter
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01IAGSD5O/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3IRU7Q642HWMA
I mostly play Wow and Lol, since my old macbook cant really cope the more demanding games.
Thanks in advance!
