I5 6500 + gtx 1060 ( did i do fine ...need a little help )

[Cronaldo9]

Hey guys ,
This is my first build ,i just wanna know how good i did .
Please let me know if there is something wrong , any opinion matters .

CPU : Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor

Motherboard : ASRock H110M-ITX/ac Mini ITX LGA1151

Memory : Corsair ValueSelect 16GB (1 x 16GB) DDR4-2133

Video card : Gainward GeForce GTX 1060, 6GB GDDR5, 192 biti

Storage : SSD Kingston SSDNow UV400, 120GB, SATA 3, 2.5''
already got an hdd 500gb from old pc which will save me some money

Psu : EVGA 430 W1 80+, 430W Continuous Power

Case : Segotep Blade, Black


im planning to use this mostly for gaming (1080p).
I think it will be enough what do you guys make of it ?
Should i perform any change ?

Any particular reason for picking that motherboard? it should work fine, although it is a mini itx which is very small for that case.
How much are you willing to spend?
I would recommend going 2x8GB ram sticks to get advantage of dual channel. its much more effective than Single channel, though it may be barely noticeable.
other than that, everything should work fine. no compatibility issues.

1) 2x8GB
Agree. Very important.

I suggest a 2666MHz, 2x8GB kit as well as there MAY be some memory bottleneck even with 2x2133 though it would not be very often.

2) PSU:
Actually looks fine. I was going to change that but it DOES have the proper power (6+2 for the 8-pin) so it's okay.

I see no glaring issues except the memory.

Depends on the cas latency of the ram. Higher mhz usually mean longer CAS. So the overall difference between 2133 and 2400 almost nothing unless you get 2400mhz ram with a CAS similar to the 2133. these an be pricey. I do agree with 2x8gb

Just my 2 cents

Ok i changed motherboard with this
ASRock H110M−HDV, Socket 1151, mATX

And i also changed to 2 x 8gb ddr4 2133 mhz

Anything else ?

I would recommend you change to the 500w version of that PSU, the price difference is £5 in the UK. You'd probably be fine with 430w but the general recommendation is a 450w PSU with the 1060 and that would give you a bit of head room.

Sure, and I was recommending 2666MHz with a CAS time of 15, though I forgot to mention it.

For most tasks the difference is nothing or very small with an i5-6500 going beyond 2133 CAS whatever. Anyway the point is moot now.

Again for the POWER SUPPLY since another comment came, the 430W is just fine. Gaming is going to be just over 200W typically or 50% load. (i.e. 80W system + 120W GPU + 20W fans/drives)

I know 500W+ seems like it's important, however newer CPU's and GPU's are using a lot less power. The CPU can't be overclocked so other than fans, drives and perhaps a small GPU overclock there's not much we can do to change this.

That PSU had the proper 8-pin (6+2) power connector so no adapter is needed.

The only reason to get a better power supply is if another graphics card or BETTER card is something he might get.

Not sure if 2666mhz would help that much because the motherboard i think supports only 2133mhz ram .... Correct me if i am wrong ?

Your config is fine, but I would recommend an other PSU. That EVGA even reaches the recommended power figures is not the most reliable kind. Seasonic M12II Evo 520W is an amazing all around performer. Even it rated bonze in all test gave close to titanium efficiency and above that, voltage ripple is so minimal, nearly doesn't exist. On the long run that's matters a lot. Gives all the hardware longer lifetime and ensure best performance. www.jonnyguru.com where you can find everything about PSU's with indepth analysis and tests. On motherboard side, as I see that case can accomodate ATX sizes too. Depend on your budget, you might find an ATX MoBo with some extra features. Maybe on same price.
