Need help with my PC build! Thank you!

[OhGodItsJoel]

So first of all, here's my build

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/38pn7h#

Because the prices in EU are cancerous, the cheapest I could find that specific build is 974 euros. That's a bit too much for me. as I need to buy a monitor and a keyboard too. Does anyone have any options to lower the price say, about 100USD while still holding on to 1060? Thank you!

 

[OhGodItsJoel]

Oh, and just to add if the best way to lower the price is to take away the 1060 then I don't mind!

Some options:

1. Consider a I3-6100 if your main usage is for gaming.

2. Unless you are multitasking, 8gb is fine for gaming.

3. Consider deferring on the hard drive until you actually need storage space. And... for a ssd, I would buy Samsung or Intel.

4. Your psu is excellent and I would resist changing it out. In Europe, you might find Seasonic 520w for equal quality priced less.

Thank you for the answer!

What is your opinion, should I change the EVGA SuperNOVA 550W to this one?

Yes, it is cheaper, equally good quality and is strong enough for even a GTX1080.
On the list above, the i3-6100 fares just about as well as the i3-6320 at 100e less.
Again, on the list above, buy a 2 stick ram kit so you can run in faster dual channel mode.
2133 speed is fine.

The list above indicated windows 10 full retail which costs more than oem.
What you get is the ability to transfer the os to a new pc(AKA motherboard) in the future.

Yeah, I found a cheap 16gb one right here

Do you have any other (cheaper) suggestions for maybe a 8GB one?

My fault entirely. I heard that you lived in Europe and I just assumed you were in Britain.

 

[OhGodItsJoel]

No problem dude, thanks for taking the time to help tho! You can't always win

 

[weberdarren97]

Seeing as you call yourself OhGodItsJoel, have you seen his Windows 10 Destruction video yet?

 

[geofelt]

That ram is DDR3, I think you want DDR4 for most lga1151 motherboards.

Yes, I changed it to a DDR4-2133 one
