PcPartPicker Question/Build question

[bmost4395]

here is my build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tPtTcc I was wondering if anything could be chosen differently to make it more reliable and cheaper. maybe a couple bucks more. Also the anidees Ai-crystal I was worried that the MSI - Z270 GAMING M7 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard would fit in that case or not the dimensions seem kinda iffy. And i know that case has no fans i already got 5 red led 120m fans.

ATX, EATX, Micro ATX, Micro ATX .....Case holds up to EATX , so it will fit in that nice case.

Thank you so much I've been pretty worried about it.

Are you considering buying a 1060 for over $300? Don't please. That shouldn't be a penny over $269-$289. Yes, that's one of the best 1060's but $269 is what I'd pay for it. You're paying pricing jacked by etherium.

Yeah I know i was just using this website to show my build and get help with the stability and reliability of the parts i chose. The 1060 has a very good price on amazon which is where im getting all the parts and case. thanks for the heads up tho

1. The Z270 MoBo supports the next generation 7700k.... why go last generation to save $13 ?

2. While it's good MoBo, question has to be ask, what features does it have that benefit you that a $130 Z270 MoBo doesn't have.... such as the MSI SLI Plus ? The $85 saved will get ya close to a 1070.

3. The budget cooler is a bit outta place here. While the Hyper 12 is a great cooler "for the money", the emphasis must be placed on the last 3 words. I'd spend $6 more and get a cooler that, while ridiculously inexpensive, competes with the big boyz like the $90 Cryorig R1 Ultimate.

4. I'd avoid RAM with tall heat sinks, depending on MoBo, may hit CPU cooler / fans

5. Again, I'd go 1070 here with savings from above

6. That's a AMD GFX oriented Freesync Monitor and therefore would not benefit from nVidia GFX. Recommend the Asus VG248QE over the Viewsonic .. and used with the toasty stobelight utility
