Looking for advice for my new pc build (PCPP link)

[simondk40]

Im new to pc gaming and im looking for a descent system to play on, i think the most demanding game i'm going to play would be GTA V.
I prefer to play my games on High/Ultra settings, even with mods installed

I would love to hear some feedback on this build, and ideas to maybe upgrade/downgrade

I've tried to come up with my own build:

CPU: .................Intel - Core i5-7500 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: .....Corsair - H80i v2 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: ....Asus - PRIME Z270-P ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
RAM: ................Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory
Storage: ...........Kingston - A400 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
GPU: ................Asus - GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Expedition OC Video Card
Case: ...............NZXT - S340 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply:...EVGA - SuperNOVA G2 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
System:............Windows 10 HOME OEM 64-bit

Memory for Core i5-7500 is DDR4-2133, DDR4-2400 not DDR4-3000.

I suggest you get Core i5-7600K as ◾The processor has unlocked clock multiplier for overclocking and DDR4-3000 memory.

Agree with this, an i5 just doesn't look like a good buy with only 4 cores. We already know that the next generation of i3's will be 4 core and i5's becoming 6 core.
