Need Help in Building a New Gaming Rig

Legend207 · Jun 1, 2016

Hi
I am going to assemble a new PC. I will primarily use it for hardcore gaming,watching movies etc.
I have narrowed down my search for the main components to these:
-----------------------------------
motherboard - gigabyte g1 gaming ga-z170x
ram - Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Single DDR4
graphics card - gtx 1070(when it releases)
processor - i5 6600k
monitor - BenQ XL2411Z (just in case)
case - corsair vengeance c70
power supply - corsair rm750x

I would like to know whether this build is good and whether all these components are
supported by my chosen motherboard. Am kind of a noob when it comes down to things like this.
So please help, any suggestion/reply is greatly appreciated.

Buy the memory in a 2X4GB set as a pair in one package. For about 25 more bucks you could buy a 2X8GB set for 16GB and never need to add more in the future.
You also need a CPU cooler the 6600K does not come with one. For a good cooler that will allow for a decent overclock if you wish I would suggest this one.

Thanks for responding so quick .I did not know that the 6600k does not include a cooler along with it .Thanx for that info and also about the memory. I hopefully will get the 16 gb one like u mentioned, can you just tell me how good my proposed rig is and whether its future proof (atleast 4 years) and one more thing do you think that I can go for the gtx 970, is it good enough or shud i just get the gtx 1070.

Once again thanx.

Solid build. I also recommend he cryorig h7 CPU cooler.
Do you already have an HDD and SSD? If not I'd get them.
I recommend western digital 1 tb HDD and Samsung 850 evo Ssd

Your processor should last at least 4 years probably more like 5 or 6 with future overclocking.
For the video card the 1070 would be your best bet if you can even get one the 1080's were gone the same time they were released.
With either card you can expect to make one upgrade during the life of the PC.
