Hi everyone,
I'm building a game pc and choose all the components. Now I want to know if all the components are good and if some are overkill or some components will bottleneck each other.

The games I am going to play are Overwatch, Black Desert Online, The Witcher 3 and Battlefield 1.
How much FPS do you think I'm going to get in these games?

My build:
CPU: Intel core i5 6600k
CPU cooler: Cryorig h7
Motherboard: asus maximus viii hero
RAM: corsair vengeance 8GB 2x (3200MHz)
SSD: goodram cx200 120GB (only for Windows)
HD: WD blue edition 1TB 7200RPM
Video kaart: asus dual gtx 1060 6GB
Case: nzxt H440 razer edition
Operating Software: Windows 10
Power Supply: corsair cx550m

Thanks in advance!

Pretty good all-round, but there's likely some better/cheaper alternatives.

I assume you're playing at 1080p? (where the 1060 shines).

The motherboard is likely overpriced for what you need it for.
I've never heard of "goodram" SSDs, so I'd maybe avoid that.
The CX550M is a decent PSU, but there are usually better options for the price.

What's your budget and location?

Yes im playing at 1080p.
I'm going to use motherboard also for music. I will connect my guitar etc. That's the reason i chose for this motherboard but if you say there a cheaper motherboard with the same sound quality. Can you give me any advise? (I thinkI want a Asus one)
And can you give me an example of the PSU you think will the best fit for my pc?

My budget is 1200 till 1300 euros. And I live in the Netherlands.

Thanks!

A splitter can handle the extra fan, for a fraction of the cost.

There are cheaper options too:

Will run 2x fans from a single header. You lose a little control over them, as you can control one & one = two, but should be sufficient for case fans, and saves you ~50EUR overall.

Thanks! And about the PSU can you give me an example for what will be better?

The CX550 is a solid PSU, and a big step up from previous CX models, but it's still a little poorer than some other options in the same pricepoint:

For the money, you really can't beat the last one listed: the SeaSonic S12II 620W.

Thanks for the advise! I only have 1 question left... Is the Seasonic S12II-Bronze 620W compatible for EU? Maybe a dumb question but just asking :D
