Think my build is alright?

[anonymoo]

So I'm saving up for a PC. I definitely don't want to put anything as luxurious as a PC solely for my entertainment on my parents, so I have to budget for myself. I've never built a PC, so I'm not sure what's good, what's not, what's compatible, what isn't. I tried my best, so here's what I've come up with:

Motherboard: MSI Gaming Intel Skylake H170 LGA 1151 DDR4 USB 3.1 ATX Motherboard ($119.99)

CPU: Intel Core i5 6600k ($243.99)

GPU: MSI AMD R7 370 2gb gddr5 OC ($154.99)

SSD: Silicon Power S55 480GB 2.5" 7mm SATA III Internal Solid State Drive SP480GBSS3S55S25 ($99.99)

Memory/RAM: Crucial 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2133 (PC4 17000) ($74.97)

PSU: Corsair SF Series, SF450, SFX Form Factor, 450 Watt ($89.99)

Case: Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-01 Mid Tower Gaming Case ($49.93)

Total Cost: $833.85

If there's anything better quality that I can spend less money on, let me know! Otherwise, I want to try to keep it below $850. Also, notify me if something isn't compatible with another. Thanks!

Don't bother getting unlocked 6600K when the motherboard won't even support overclocking on it. Waste of money. Get i5 6600 instead and use the money saved to get a better graphics card, say like a newly released RX 480.

Here is your fixed build.
If it's too much (this is 50$ more expensive than the one you have built) it is possible to reduce the price by almost 100$ with non overclockable CPU and MB

Any reason for that specific PSU?
A Tier1/2 EVGA/Seasonic/XFX ATX PSU is usually a bit cheaper than the PSU you listed, if your case can take.it.

There are rumours about the Rx470 being released shortly. Might wanna wait for that before ordering the R7.

And the non-k 6600 should do just fine.

I actually considered the RX 480, but it was out of my budget. I guess with the i5 6600, though, I'll be able to fit it into my build. Thanks!

Definitely a good move as performance difference between a 6600K and 6600 is very little but difference between R7 370 and RX 480 is significant and the extra VRAM on the RX 480 will keep your GPU relevant for longer. 2GB VRAM doesn't really cut it with most AAA games, unless 1080P or under.

Thanks, I think I'm gonna go with the XFX ATX PSU, and go with the non-k 6600. I wasn't sure of the difference between k and non-k. Thanks again!
