Gaming PC build.

[nozzy13]

Good evening/morning,

I'm finally coming back to the Gaming PC World and would love to hear your insights on the topic of presented below config :

Processor : i5 8600k Coffe Lake ( 6 cores )
CPU Cooling : Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2 Extreme Performace (CW-9060025-WW).
Motherboard: ASRock Z370 Pro4 DDR4 1151
RAM : G.Skill RipjawsV DDR4 2x8GB 3000MHz CL15 rev2 XMP2 Black F4-3000C15D-16GVGB
GPU : ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 EX-GTX1060-6G
SSD Samsung 250GB SSD850 SATAIII MZ-75E250B/EU EVO 6,8mm 2.5''
All sitting in Cooler Master MasterBox 5T Midi Tower, okno (MCX-B5S3T-RWNN)
Power Supply : be quiet! System Power 9 700W (BN248).

I'll be adding an HDD later on, also decided to lower the cost by choosing 1060 rather than 1070 ( I do realize how bad the market for GPUs is atm however need a GPU that works for at least 2/3 years before an upgrade ).

Setup will work with Windows 10.

So any suggestion on the topic of upgrading/changing components or even entirely different propositions around the price of those above are highly welcome : )

Everything looks OK, except you don't really need a 700w PSU. A decent 500w PSU would be plenty for that build.

Really nice build! The only thing that I would do is add some LED Lights on the inside to show off the build. If you don't want RGB or dont need it you could just get some red Lights for the inside. I would go with magnetic lights if you end up getting any, makes it much easier if you want to put the lights in a new build. Just something to spice up the build 😀

Also I do agree with Frag Maniac, you don't really need that big of a PSU for that build.

Other than that, really nice build! Wish I had that kind of money for something like that XD
