How's my custom gaming rig?

[aidanc0151]

Hi I'm building a gaming PC for my friend, I built myself one about a year ago so I know the basics of custom building.

The rig needs to be capable of running newer games at 1080p at around 60fps. I've ruled out overclocking because my friend is not confident in doing it and neither am I.
I know the power supply is a bit expensive but due to past experiences I am not willing to cheap out on it.

But I would appreciate if someone could check these parts just to confirm they are compatible, also any suggestions on superior parts in the same price range(£680 $880) would also be helpful.

I'll leave links to Amazon at the bottom.

Any advice is appreciated.

Good parts, but get an i5 6500, H170 motherboard, 2x4GB DDR4 RAM, and a GTX1060 for the same price or cheaper.

Personally,
It looks fine. Only thing I would change it for is I would go for an 80+ titanium/platinum. For better power efficiency and less heat.

Something about your size.

IMHO no much as has changed between DDR 3 and DDR 4... DDR 3 has less CAS but DDR 4 has higher frequencies. Specially if you're not overclocking. Of course there's nothing wrong getting the newest thing either.

Hmm that's interesting, I was thinking about the 1060 but couldn't get the pc under £700 ($910) without cheaping out on the power supply and motherboard. (bearing in mind newegg is not an option as I live in the UK so postage + VAT becomes a fortune). So the majority of parts I will get of Amazon.

Oh right thanks, I'll take look.
I wasn't sure on the psu anyway as i spent hours comparing them for my own build then settled on a Silverstone 80+ Gold, which sounds like a vacuum when it gets up to full speed.
