Help me choosing my build

Hello.

I currently live in the UK and I´m about to buy a new PC, currently I cannot decide between the next two builds. I´m going to buy it in www.cclonline.com as they look to be the cheaper ones and they give 3 years of warranty. I plan to use the PC to play, and I want it to last for several years ( 5 at least )

I already have HD, SD, wifi card and DVD writer. I´m going to pick just a single RAM module as I plan to take another one in the future ( so this time I expend less and the computer looks cheaper to my wife :) ):

Option A:

Corsair Carbide Series 100R Mid-Tower Case (Black)
Gigabyte B360M HD3 Intel Socket 1151 B360 Chipset
Intel Core i5-8400 2.8GHz 6-Core, 6-Thread Processor for
Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO CPU Cooler
Palit GeForce GTX 1060 DUAL 6GB Graphics Card
HyperX FURY 8GB (1 x 8GB) 2666MHz CL16 DDR4 Desktop
Corsair CX550 (550W) 80 Plus Bronze ATX Power Supply

Note: They currently have the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 XTREME 6GB Graphics Card cheaper than the Palit so would pick the Gigabyte

Price : 735 GBP with assembly and delivery ( I expect it to be 15 GBP cheaper with the Gygabyte )

Option B:

Corsair Carbide Series 100R Silent Edition Mid-Tower Case (Black)
Gigabyte Z370P D3 Intel Socket 1151 ATX Motherboard Code
Intel Core i5-8400 2.8GHz 6-Core, 6-Thread Processor for Socket
Cooler Master Hyper 212X Air Tower CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan
HyperX FURY 8GB (1 x 8GB) 2666MHz CL16 DDR4 Desktop Memory (Black)
ASUS GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Cerberus Advanced (4GB) Graphics Card
EVGA SuperNOVA 650w GS GOLD 80+ MODULAR PSU

( Might need to change the Cooler as I believe it does not fit in the case ).

Price :700 GBP with assembly and delivery

Regarding the case, I need to decide between this one and the Antec GX500 ( I have a previous computer with that case, and this way I would be able to use some extra pieces of the case to fix the old one. )
 
Solution

I will recommend option a and No need to buy a cpu cooler the stock will be enough for that chip instead get a 240 gb or an 120 gb ssd for faster boot ups . as far as the case goes i will recommend Corsair Carbide Series 100R Mid-Tower Case (Black) cause it has good vents and enough room which will make sure your system gets enough air and also choosing a 1050 ti over an 1060 6gb will be foolishness , an 1060 6gb will wreck any game u throw at it in ultra 1080p.
 


Thanks for the quick reply. I already have a 500GB SD :)
 

on that note use the cpu cooler money for another 8gb stick of ram !
