Pc build for gaming, need suggestions/ confirmation

Solution


Well, i kinda want to keep it under 1000$, also do you think i should save and go for the 1060? I play cs:go, civ 5 (prob civ 6) and stuff like that, and i may also get dead by daylight. I don't mind running games on low as well. I just can't decide wheather to save the 200$ and just use that money for other stuff :/.

Still under 1000 while giving you breathing space in terms of supplied power.

The 1060 or 1070 aren't bad cards at all. The 1070 will be relevant longer, and will run all sorts of stuff very well.
Depends on what you wanna do.
 


The issue is i only have newegg ncixus and b&h on my merchants as they are WAY more trusted, so that price would go up.


 
The Arc isn't the same as the Hive, which is still slightly higher rated than the CXM series. The reactions I've seen online is that the ARC is poorly made and can't actually put out the power is says it can.

If you can deal with going with the lowest priced vendor, this build gives you a better quality PSU and a better rated SSD while only going over your budget by $24.

Like i said the ssd has been bought, also i want to go with trustworthy vendors / sites because i would rather spend 20$ more on a product to have a higher chance of me actually getting it.

 


Oh missed the part about the SSD already being bought. In that case I'd go with the better PSU and you're fine. Also if your worried about which seller to go through, I highly recommend amazon. When something goes wrong, their customer service is one of the best I've ever dealt with.
 

How is this, the 8$ above doesnt matter

Hesitant to endorse the CXM PSU. I don't know why this PSU didn't come up on my last search but this would be a much better PSU choice for quality. Only an extra $6 from the other build. Unfortunately its not semi modular but higher quality parts and that case should give you room for appropriate routing.
