MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6 GB + Ryzen 7 1700 and 16 GB of Ram

[koen388]

Hey guys, i'm building my first pc ever (Yay 😀) And i've got a question, is the combo of a GTX 1060 + R7 1700 the best for gaming AND content creating? I'm looking into streaming and YT, i'm also looking to start developing games in Unity etc. Is this combo a good choice or are there better choices? Also, i probably won't be playing super demanding games, main games atm will be League of Legends an Pubg Giving me advise and maybe alternatives would be soo much appreciated! Maybe also a good fitting MoBo?
Thanks in advance!

i would suggest a gtx 1070 for more power for gaming and content creating but that setup is perfectly fine.

1070 costs around €500 euro's where i live and that's bit expensive :I 1060 is already €350-€400 which is rather expensive compared to what it used to cost right?

Due to a shortage in europe and eu taxs prices for gpus are very high. If you were looking to do youtube and streaming you always want best quality hence a 1070, but sinc prices are mad a 1060 6gb should do well. as for the motherbord anything that supports your ram should be fine. If you put your parts together in pcpartpicker.com it will let you know if parts dont work together, otherwise people on here can help

I run ASUS ROG B350F with my 1700 and it works great. Needed a bios flash though to support beyond factory ram speeds.
