My PC Build! What would you change/improve?

[MrFrenglish]

Hi, how is everyone?

I am looking to buy a new custom PC for gaming and streaming and I have a budget of approximatively 1500$, more or less. I have made a part list of components, but I would like to have some advices or suggestions on my build. Maybe there are important things I forgot to think about or you would change to make this build better. Here is the list:

Thank you for taking the time looking into my build!

MX300 is an older unit.

MX500, 500GB, $85

you could upgrade the 1070 to a ti for not a lot more.
also windows 10 can be purchased for alot less incase your actually gonna pay full price for it which will save you $100

ATX Full Tower is a larger than needed case. An ATX Mid Tower will fit the Prime Z370-A.

If your doing any serious overclocking, I suggest you use an All-In-One Liquid CPU Cooler. Size: 220/240mm radiator. Make sure PC case will accept that kind of radiator.

There are a couple of 1070Ti cards for about the same, or even a little less, than the specific 1070 you chose.

There's even a Gigabyte Windforce OC 1070 for less, if you want to stick with Gigabyte.

Also, I don't know the EVGA PSUs well, but I'm particularly a fan of Seasonic. Those around or below the price of the EVGA are a mix of modular, semi-modular, and non-modular versions, though.

Ah yes. I forgot to mention, I am not planning to overclock and I am not gonna SLI.

Should I really get a Mid tower? I always prefered full tower even though I dont really mod after building my PCs.

@micke1987 Where could I find a cheaper Windows 10 then?

Nowhere valid.

If you find it much less than retail, it is not a valid license. Frequently, those are deactivated.
It may work for a while, until that particular license wants to contact the corporate licensing server for activation.

Or it is simply money laundering.


You can install and run Win 10 and leave it unactivated. $0.
Buying a "cheap" OS license is frequently a loss of $$ and hassle.

ebay, not exactly legal copies but ive had 2 copys on my pc's for 6months+ and they've been fine.

just check the sellers feedback first

Full vs. mid tower really comes down to personal preference, unless there's a specific equipment or space issue. There's nothing wrong with a full tower if you just prefer it to a mid tower.

"Cheaper" Windows 10 either means gray-market or black-market. Neither of which I will recommend.

Key words..."not exactly legal"
