Gaming pc build

[constantine575]

Hey guys

Im building my first gaming pc and i know what components i want to buy, but i need some reassurance and advice if something needs to be changed. With these components i am within my budget, so my main concern is will this build work stable? I wont be doing any OC right away, but i wanted a build that can be overclocked when needed but im open for suggestions.
Thank you

Power Supply: Corsair VS Series VS550-550W
GPU: MSI GF GTX 1070 Aero OC, 8GB GDDR5, DX12

It's good however

The PSU is really low grade. Especially when you're looking to over clock get a better unit. Super Flower & Seasonic make arguably the best units.
They also supply them as OEM to other brands
My preferred list (top to bottom) would be:
Corsair RMx
Evga Supernova G2
Super Flower Leadex
Evga Supernova GS
xfx xtr
Super Flower Golden King
XFX TS Gold
Seasonic G
Super Flower Golden Green HX
--- Bronze efficiency ---
Evga Supernova B2
XFX TS / Pro / Core
Seasonic M12II
Seasonic S12II

Depending on your budget get a nice unit, any if those will do while the top of the list has better quality than the bottom.

Also don't get the GTX1070 Aero.
Go for a 2 or 3 fan design. There's no need to go for one of the most expensive cards, but a 1 fan design is hotter and noisier and only recommended for mITX builds.

If you're looking to over clock I'd get the UD3 by Gigabyte instead of the Gaming 3. Theyre usually within 5$ and the UD3 has a better power distribution that should result in a more stable oc.

If there's some money in the bank get a 200+ GB SSD.
Crucial MX300 usually has good value/performance ratio.

Thank you for the help, i will try to find a better PSU that is within my budget, since i went for the Aero gtx 1070 because its on sale in my country and around 80$ cheaper than usually. My other pick was the Zotac gtx 1070 mini with 2 fan design.
