Hi,
I'm looking at building a new computer and plan to source the most expensive parts on Black Friday. I live in Canada.
Do you have any feedback on this build?
I also have a few questions below.
Thanks so much:
/// = UPDATED
GPU - MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6GB /// $390 (newegg.ca)
CPU - i5 7600 /// Thinking the i5 8400 ($240 newegg.ca)
MOBO - MSI Z270 Tomahawk Optane Boost /// Thinking Z370 SLI Plus ($188 newegg.ca)
RAM - any DDR4 2400 on sale /// ADATA - XPG Z1 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($159.99 @ Memory Express)
PSU - EVGA SuperNova G3 750W /// EVGA SuperNova G3 650W ($100 newegg.ca)
SSD - Samsung EVO 850 250GB /// Already bought for $90 sale
HDD - 3TB BarraCuda (will probably get down the road)
Chasis - Phanteks Enthoo Primo /// Already bought $90 Kijiji
I hope to play CS:GO and Overwatch and PUBG (possibly new FPS too) at over 60fps.
Monitor is 1440p 144hz 24". + two other 1080p 60hz 24"
Questions:
1. I don't plan to overclock, is it okay to get the non-K processor?
2. I like the Z270 because it has Optane Boost and other great specs. But it only has ALC892 sound and not ALC1220. Will I notice this? /// Looking at Z370 + i5-8400 now
I use Sonos Play 5 for speakers and Logitech G933 for gaming.
Thanks so much!
