How Will My Setup Do In 2018?

[thefuzzymoose]

I’m building my first PC and was wondering if it looked good for this coming year and perhaps some things I could exchange to keep it 2018 friendly

Here’s my component list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mjxgRG

I've cut the cost down by a bit while giving you better functionality. The build below will allow for overclocking.

Changes I've made include changing the CPU cooler, finding a cheaper GTX 1060, changing the mobo to allow for some overclocking, finding a cheaper Windows 10, and swapping the Logitech G230 to a G430 (I've had the G430 before and it's really nice). If you worried about the Cryorig H7 cooler not fitting in the case, it should as the maximum height of the Apevia case for coolers is 155mm, while the H7 is 145mm.

This PC will be able to play pretty much every game for a few years.
