Is This a Good Gaming PC Build?

RoomtSkink · Jul 31, 2016

hi
I've just put together this build and I just want to get some thoughts on it. I wanted a white themed build which is why I went for the z170 motherboard even though (I know) I can't overclock a locked cpu but I went with it because of the white theme. I also already brought a r9 380x. If theres a better pc build for around $1300 that's better than this can you guys do one for me?
thanks

No need for a fancy cpu cooler or a Z170 motherboard. Drop the cooler an get a H170 and a better psu. That psu is terrible for your build.

The rest looks good.

CTurbo :

Would a 80+ gold corsair 500 watt pus be good and would this be a better motherboard ASUS H170 PRO GAMING LGA 1151 Intel H170?

The Asus H170 Pro Gaming is way too expensive. If it's a Corsair RM550x, yes. If it's a CS550, CS550m, or RM550, no.

No that Corsair is NOT very good. This would be a much better use of of your money.
