It's a good build. However, if you can afford it, I'd suggest getting the 6GB version of the 1060, and a higher quality power supply. Something like the Seasonic M12ii or EVGA Supernova G2.

No, the build could be better, but you have not stated if you have a maximum budget, so the build could be much better.
Where is the SSD ?
Only 8GB ram..tut tut.

 

[PopSomeBags]

Sorry about not stating the budget, my budget is currently around the $750 range.

 

[Nine Layer Nige]

Hold off on the head phones(you can get them at a later date) and spend the money on an SSD

120 or 240 gb?

 

[Nine Layer Nige]

Its gonna be your primary boot drive so the larger the better, what ever you can afford

 

[bloodroses]

480-500gb is what I'd recommend. 256gb if budget is tight. I have a 256gb sandisk in my desktop paired with a 3tb platter drive, and a 500gb Samsung in my laptop. The desktop is already tight on space (the SSD part at least).

As the other person said though, I'd put the 16gb of RAM to a higher priority; but that can be debatable.

 

[Nine Layer Nige]

I guess ram can be added to at a later date pending funding. 2 x 4GB is a good start and your mobo will have 4 slots, so you can add another 2 x 4gb later.

Final adjustments made. Do I need case fans?

 

[maz89]

The case comes with 2 fans, should be enough for your purposes.

Not the best power supply in the world, I would spend another $20 on getting the Seasonic M12ii 520W.

Good call on the SSD, although skipping the headphones and getting 2 sticks of 8GB RAM would have been better.

Switched the power supply, but isnt 16GB ram overkill?

Nevermind, I decided to go with 16gb because more ram couldnt hurt. The grand total (without the headset) is $760.78, but I am willing to go a little over budget.

Thanks for the help everyone!

Already, AAA games nowadays recommend 8GB RAM. 16GB would not be overkill. If you're multi-tasking, it will come in handy.

Good call! Looks solid!
