Very good build except PSU, but you may want to wait for coffee lake Get Seasonic Evo/focus or evga supernova g2/G3 fully modular

Thanks for the reply, just wondering why, is there a problem with that psu? and why fully modular. I have heard semi can be much more efficient when it comes to cable management?

 

[vapour]

Fully module is even better. less cables, less struggle.

Thanks, but what is wrong with the psu?
except being semi?

 

[vapour]

Nothing wrong, just less efficiency and harder to manage. Also quality wise, my recommendation usually last longer yours is decent too.

 

[yes104]

ok thank you, that is a relief.

Thank you, do you think it will "do the job", until i can get a replacement. Provide efficient power?

yes, go ahead if it died within warranty, you can get replacement for free

Great build man! I just used a watage calculator to calculate the recommended power supply and while I agree cooler master is not the most mainstream brand when it comes to PSU's, That will be more than 2 times the amount of power the cpu and gpu will require, which makes it a worthwile investment if you are going to upgrade your gpu in the future. I always recommend that people doing gaming builds always try to go as high and as efficient with the PSU as they can afford because then you can do future upgrades without having to worry about the power supply being insufficient. The only thing I would change is the ssd, but that is just me. Honestly, I didn't even know they made the green drives in ssd's. Is it sata or PCIe based?

Thanks for the advice, the ssd is sata based.

Hi again, i was just wondering, after i install my graphics card and install windows do i need to change from integrated graphics to my 1060 or is it set to default when installed? and also when buying windows 10 its says flashdrive, does a flashdrive come in the package? i cant get it on disc because im not buying a ODD.

should be flash drive. Most modern MB will automatically disable IGPU if you plug in another one

Also connect my gpu straight to monitor using hdmi not to mobo?

You will need to switch the video input to the gtx 1060. Also install the graphics drivers. And windoes 10 comes on a bootable usb that you can also use as a rescue media.

Boot with new GPU plugged in, hdmi in new gpu
enter windows
download nvdia driver
install
reboot
You may need to enter bios to manually switch GPU
