Hello!
I am going to buy my first PC and i am curious about best choises i can make.

Main requirements for PC are:

    1. Gaming at 60 FPS in all games.
    2. Work with multiple resource-intensive applications simultaniusly (like IDEs).
    3. Good audio quality.

For now i have chosen:

    1. CPU: Intel i7-6700 non-k
    I am not sure i need overclocking. I guess for most of my tasks this CPU would be great.

    2. Mobo: Asus H170 Pro Gaming
    This mobo is almost as expensive as Z170. Maybe i have to look at Z170 instead?

    3. GPU: Asus PCI-Ex GeForce GTX 1060 ROG Strix 6GB
    It looks for me like an optimal choise for gaming at FullHD.

    4. Power supply: Aerocool KCAS-500 500W (4713105953275)
    Is it enought for my build? Power supply calculator said that "Recommended PSU Wattage: 366 W"

    5. SSD: Samsung 850 Evo-Series 250GB 2.5" SATA III TLC (MZ-75E250B)
    I want to install OS and programs here.

    6. RAM: Kingston DDR4-2133 4096MB x 2 HyperX Fury Black
    Is 8 GB enought for my requirements? Or shoud i pick 16 Gb instead? Also, mobo specs said that it supports only 2133 MHz. So there is no need in RAM with higher frequecy, isn't it?

    7. HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB 7200rpm 64MB WD10EZEX 3.5 SATA III
    For storing files like music, movies, documents, huge games etc.

    8. CPU Cooler: DeepCool Gamma Archer Pro

    9. Case: DeepCool Kendomen TI
    Because it has built-in coolers. Not sure about it.

    10. Monitor: 23.8" Dell P2417H (210-AJEX)
    I want a good monitor, because i spend a lot of time with PC.



Please, let me know, if i did some mistakes in my PC build or there are better components i can buy.
Thank you for attension!

Motherboards , these tend to be the best buys internationally.

They should all be cheaper than your original choice, they will all do a good job.

The x1 & x1/3.1 would be my choices at the right price.

PSU - seasonic all the way if in budget , anything from a 430w upwards will do you fine.
Fsp & fractal design would be the next tight budget choices , likely mediocre units but at least not dangerous which the aerocool definitely is.

Monitors ? - market dependant unfortunately

Nothing wrong with the dell , these models in the UK /us are substantially cheaper , if they're available over there...


The only thing I would change is get a 1070.

1070 is overkill for FullHD, don't you think so?
 


Personally I don't think so, you'll be more futureproof and you will for sure be hitting 60fps.
 


Makes sense
 
^ at 1080p the 1070 is not worth the extra expense over a 1060 IMO.

Original build list ??
Dump the gamma archer pro - its worse than the stock cooler that comes with the 6700 non k.
The aerocool PSU is an absolute pile of crap - buy something better.
The h170 pro gaming , expensive board for what it is.
There are cheaper h170 board that have all the features you need.
Ram - I'd go with a 16gb now if you have the budget , 8gb is fine for gaming , if you're heavy multitasking , the more ram the better.
You can buy the best prices ram kit you can find , even though h170 only supports 2133mhz ram , higher speeds are still compatible & will down clock automatically if xmp profile is used
I mention this simply because sometimes you can find 2400mhz+ ram cheaper than 2133.

Kendomen ti - good good budget case if you like the cosmetics - can't go wrong with it at all.

Hard drives - fine - most peoples staple items for new builds.

Dell monitor - decent enough , you generally pay a premium for dell , I have no doubt you could find a comparable Asus or aoc model for less money with slightly better specs though .

All the above are entirely market dependant , so it depends where you live ??
 


I am from Ukraine, so market is not that great and prices are higher than in EU or NA.

Can you provide examples of alternitive mobo. Mobo is a biggest problem for me now, because they have so much options and i dont actually know what can be useful for me.
Also what PSU could be better? As an alternatives i have: be quiet!, Chieftec, GameMax, Fractal Design, Seasonic, Zalman, FSP, DeepCool, Xilence, NZXT
I am looking for decent 24" monitor. My friends recommended me Dell. Have any specific propositions about Asus or Aoc?

The aoc is a firm favourite of mine if the price is right.
