PC Build - Is it good?

[BrycePC]

I want to build a Gaming PC under 1500 (Australian Dollars) and I was wondering if this is a good build. Feel free to make any adjustments or reccomendations.

CPU: Intel i5-6600 3.3GHz Quad-Core

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H170-D3H ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 166GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133

Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 970 Strix 4GB Video Card

Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro M ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply: SeaSonic G 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24D3ST DVD/CD Writer

Very nice build. If you could squeeze an SSD into your budget it would make a big difference. Samsung 850 EVO 250GB is the one. The Enthoo Pro M only comes with a single fan in the rear of the case. I recommend getting a 140mm for front intake. The rest of your build looks fine. Consider waiting a few weeks for Nvidia's new line of Pascal GPU's coming out that promise big performance increase.

I think I will hold off from purchasing an SSD just yet due to budget restrictions, however I am looking to buy a Samsung 850 EVO Drive in the future to hold the OS and some games. Also, what would you recommend for me out of the new Pascal line of GPU's? Thanks for replying!

The new Nvidia 1070 should pack a big punch and hopefully with a price tag similar to the GTX970. Enjoy this article-
