Rate my i5 Skylake Gaming Build

[Guest]

Hello i will be ordering these parts online. I havnt built a gaming pc since 2009 so it has been a long time since i did this. Could someone with experience please check for me if this is a good build. Would the 550W PSU be enough?.

You need to copy the permalink to link us to your specific partlist. Or click on the BB code markup and copy and paste that.

Looks great. Do you have plans to overclock the CPU? If not you could get away with cheaper CPU and mobo combo.

That PSU is also cheaper on NCIX US.

YES im planning to OC the CPU as much as i can... and OC the GPU... i forgot to add that. Will the PSU handle all of that?

Yes, though if you are planning to go for a high overclock you will need adequate cooling. A stock cooler won't do. How much are you able to budget for an aftermarket cooler?

Should handle it with no troubles. Skylake should cool better than Haswell.
You have any old, but still usable HDs lying around? Might want more storage.
Otherwise, looks excellent.
