My build, any tips for it?

[Kevin_247]

Hello.
I while be ordering all my stuff in one month, so before the time I obviously chose my pc parts and i wanted to ask for any tips for my build. It will be my gaming pc, and I want to play games like GTA V, Fallout 4, CoD and CS:GO. FPS mostly, so will that go well for this?

Motherboard: MSI B250M PRO-VDH
CPU: Intel Core i5-7600k
GPU: Geforce GTX 1060
RAM: 8GB Corsair vengeance
Case: Corsair Carbide SPEC-01 RED LED
Hard drive HDD: WD BLUE 1TB
Power supply: Cooler Master Masterwatt lite 400
CPU Cooler (my cpu doesn't have a stock one): BeQuiet Pure Rock
(Thermal paste: Cooler Master Essential E1 thermal paste)
(Wifi card: TP-LINK TL-WN881ND WiFi 300mbits)

And will they have no issues on eachother, will they all work correspondingly? I had alot of hasle trying to find a motherboard that was cheap and that works right out the box with Kaby Lake. And thanks to the internet found it, hope i have the right one.

Thanks you al alot!

Either you go for a Z270 board or drop that i5k to a non-k version; otherwise you're wasting your money with that CPU.

And that SPEC-01 will not be able to house that PureRock cooler.

I don't think your motherboard has support for overclocking, therefore getting an overclockable CPU is pointless. Get the non-k I5-7600 version as it is a bit cheaper.

You mean this one? I could work with that. Thanks!

(By the way I dont care about overclocking).

EDIT: Found the link where I found out that B250 supports Kaby Lake straight out of the box.

Yes that is a non-k version.
Overclocking is really easy these days and it's a relatively cheap way to increase your cpu performance. Maybe doesn't interest you now but 2 years down the road, when you're thinking of upgrades, a nice overclock can push that back for another year at least.
Then again, you could just upgrade the whole system again with low cost stuff, and still be happy with your performance.

You could have just go with the i5 7500 and put the saving into a better PSU.

Either non-k CPU will come with their own Intel stock cooler (and with thermal paste pre-applied) that will fit inside the SPEC-01, so further cost saving on that PureRock and the Essential E1.

Do tell me that the 8GB Corsair Vengeance is DDR4 and that it's a 2x4GB kit not a 1x8GB, and that the GTX 1060 is the 6GB version.

Its a 2x4, whats the diffrence then? ( https://www.megekko.nl/product/0/351384/Corsair-DDR4-Vengeance-LPX-2x4GB-2133-C13-Red?r=googleshopping&gclid=CP-ztpq0u9QCFVG6GwodixEB1g)

Just Geforce GTX 1060 from the nvidia site (https://www.nvidia.nl/graphics-cards/geforce/pascal/gtx-1060/)its in dutch do).

2x4GB allow the memory controller in the CPU to access the RAM in dual-channel mode, increasing memory bandwidth available to the CPU, and therefore overall performance. Plus, on MB with 4 DIMM slots, running a single DDR4 module increase the chance of one module not being compatible with the other module(or modules) when you want to upgrade RAM in the future.

Preferably, at 2400Mhz like this Crucial Ballistix Sport LT kit or Corsair LPX since that is the highest memory bus supported by non-OC Kabylake CPU and 200 Series MB.

The list on nVIDIA page include the 3GB version without mentioning it also has less CUDA cores, therefore slower, than to the 6GB version; so which one were you going with?

This: ASUS GTX 1060 STRIX 6GB (€302,81) is a good one.

But do get a good PSU to go with it; either the Corsair CXM450W or the Seasonic S12II 520W both roughly at €55, one is modular and support up to four SATA devices, the other is not, but have six SATA power connectors for the six possible SATA devices supported by the MB (the CXM550W which is a bit more expensive at ~€60 will also have six SATA power plug).
