[Help] Need final advice and check for my (gaming) build before buying

dphennessy · Dec 12, 2015

So hopefully everything will be perfect, but this is my first time choosing, buying and building a custom made pc.
Is this good enough? Any changes i should make? pcpartpicker says it is compatible, but is it?

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/DTYdyc (the case and monitor are different from what i used in pcpartpicker as i couldn't find the same ones there, i just chose similar ones to get the price accurate to what i am spending)

Real case i plan on buying: Antec GX505 Window Midi-Tower

Real monitor i plan on buying: Acer KA220HQbid (€102 is there a better one for the same price?)

Intel Core i5-6600 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor
Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3P ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Video Card
Thermaltake Berlin 630W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply

As for cooling, should i get any extra fans or are the ones included with the case enough? (i don't plan on overclocking)

Thanks in advance.

You'd be much better off with the samsung 850evo 120gb ssd for 45 or the 250gb for 58.
Kingston switched out which flash they use in those v300's and the drive is actually much slower then reviewers initial findings.

popatim :

[strike]for 20 euro more is that extra speed worth it in your opinion? I've never used an ssd before so my standards regarding file transfer or boot up speed aren't that high[/strike]
I looked up what you were saying and oh boy i'm glad i made this post, not much point in an ssd if an average hdd is faster is there? I think i'll avoid kingston from now on just to be safe.

Is this the one you were talking about?

Also, do i need to buy any cables to connect the components? Or should they all be included?

I see you found it.
Looks good to me.

ps: motherbd usually comes with the sata cables you need, and PSU has the power cables so you should be all set except for a screwdriver.
