I'm building a custom PC for the first time and could use some help

[Otorino]

Hi,

So I'm building a custom PC for the very first time and I could use some help. I am borderline clueless when it comes to this topic so any input is much appreciated. If you think I could do something better with it or if I've done something wrong do let me know. Also if you have a completely different build that you think is better than this I'd like to hear it.

Motherboard: MSI B250M PRO-VDH Intel B250 S1151/4xDDR4/1xPCIEx16/HDMI/DVI/D-Sub/M.2/Micro ATX Motherbaord

GPU: MSI (GTX 1060 GAMING X 6G) 6G GTX 1060 Gaming X PCI-E VGA Card

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK8GX4M2A2133C13 (Black) 8GB Kit (4Gx2) DDR4 2133 Desktop RAM

Power supply: Antec VP-500P 500W

HDD: Seagate 3.5" BarraCuda 1TB ST1000DM010 SATA3 7200RPM 64MB HDD

Thanks in advance.

That looks like a pretty good build, I don't know about the antec psu, but I used to have one and had no problems. Good luck

DDR4 memory modules can run at 2400 MHz for 7th Gen processors and 2133 MHz for 6th Gen processors.

Up the ram to 2400MHz
The PSU....I'd go for something a bit better. The VP is a rather mediocre FSP design.

What's your budget & location for the PSU?

Edit: i know these units are a bit more expensive but sadly quality comes at a price with PSUs:

Budget?
You can do better.
MSY has crap prices.

I have a budget of $1300 AUD, and where can I get better prices in Australia? I thought MSY was the cheapest in the area.

Budget is $1300AUD, and the PSU will be at the standard spot at the back of the case. Do you have any suggestions for what ram I should get?

Oh wow, this looks amazing. I just have one more question; Do I need to get any extra fans with this build?

Nope, the included ones are good enough.
