Getting a new PC, are these specifications good?

[guscc92]

I am trying to get a new build that will last, I have checked over the internet and reviews on Amazon and built the following specifications. However I need advise if this is a good build and everything will fit or there is something I can improve.

Thanks in advance!

Looks alright but I would get a better PSU, like EVGA 750 g2 gold.

Where do you live as those prices look slightly odd, I mean a 6700k costs less than a GTX 1060?

A 750W PSU with a system like that is ridiculously overkill. A 450W unit is perfect, even with overclockin

The build (for gaming) is unbalanced anyway. get a better GPU and a weaker CPU. Get a cheaper motherboard. A more reliable SSD than Adata. And a better PSU, a good 450W unit like the Corsair CX450M which is higher quality than the CX750M.

What if they want to OC or expand later

With both GPU and CPU overclocking a 450W PSU is fine. If they want to add a 1080 later, they can decide that themselves and it's not something that we should assume. SLI is a bad idea usually to begin with, and statistics show that the number of people who actually SLI is extremely slim, such a puny minority of actual PC gamers.

If he really cares about efficiency or maybe wants the fan running slower, with a good overclock a 550W PSU is fine.

The use for my PC will be more for multitasking, databases, work-programs in general like "Process Mapping" and graphs. However, having a good GPU isn't bad since I also game occasionally or when I need to render for an specific task. I also want a very good monitor (Ultra-HD, high resolution).

So my budget is similar to what you see listed and I am struggling between what processor is worth. Also, is having a 2x480GB PNY SSD good, or I am going to have problems running two separate SSD's?

I tried to minimize costs and I could get a cheaper Motherboard of the same brand-series and SSD. In exchange for the money and trying to have the same budget I could get a better GPU: EVGA NVIDIA GTX 1070 Superclocked. As for the PSU, I believe this is the best option as for some weird reason 600 & 650 watts are more expensive on my place. However, I am still not very convinced of the processor for the uses I mentioned in the post above.

What do you think of this new build?:

I never skimp out on the power supply, the corsair one is a T3 power supply and will get you by, but I would lower the wattage to get a better one if you can afford it. A good tier 1 550 watt would be brilliant. I mean you have to see it like a tier 1 bronze is better than a tier 4 gold. The efficiency is just power saving.

In that last build I would change the PSU and cooler. The CS range are low quality PSU's, they are acceptable for a standard desktop but no good for overclocking or gaming builds. For overclocking and gaming you really want a unit which is very stable, has good protection built in and the components should be good enough to last years of being in a high stress environment. This is a bit old but still a useful guide, get yourself a tier 1 for your overclocking and gaming build http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

As for the cpu cooler the H60 is generally outperformed by equally priced air coolers.

Yeah I would agree with you there, but if he is not overclocking the h60 does a good job, but would require push pull to be effective, as I have it with my 5820K at 4ghz, idle 34 C load 72 with prime 95
