Would this PC work for gaming?

[melichito12]

Does setup work

Motherboard

Ram

PowerSupply

CPU

GPU

All within my current case

The GPU may be too big for my current case and i need a cooler that can also fit inside my case and cool the CPU (I will not be overclocking), if i need to change anything, tell me please.

The GPU may be too big for my current case and i need a cooler that can also fit inside my case and cool the CPU (I will not be overclocking), if i need to change anything, tell me please.

According to the corsair site, the case can support the GPU up to 420mm ( or over 16") length(maximum), the gtx1080 is only 13". So you are fine.

But keep in mind, the case can support up to only 157mm height for the cpu cooler.

The psu is an overkill.
Why a blower type gpu?
Why a micro atx mobo?

I would suggest this :

Thank you guys for the quick responses, but i would also like to ask do i upgrade my graphics card or CPU first? I currently have a 1060 3gbs and an i5 6500, everything else i can upgrade with said GPU or CPU. Or do i save up and get both at the same time?

Depends on your monitor. it's a 60hz, get the 1080 first. If it's 144hz, then you need both.

I don't know how pcpartpicker.com missed this, but the grand macho rt is 159mm tall.
