hey there,
since my old computer is getting slower and slower (Core2Duo E6400 and Geforce 6600GT) after it made over 10 years, i have to get a new one.
I was looking a bit around and now got to this build:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

The Tower is just a placeholder, not sure what to get. The rest are my actual favorites, besides 2 "do i really need it?"
The Build shall be able to support active gaming in the future (No VR planned, just simple 1 Monitor gaming, no streaming etc.), but also be nice and silence on low workload while doing office stuff, like writing papers etc.
So the 2 items i'm not sure about are:
Do i really need a 6600k, or is maybe the 6600/6500 enough, when going for a non K, i could exchange the Motherboard for a non Z170 one. I'm not sure if i need to OC. Could save some bucks.
The other one is the GPU. Is it for normal 1080 gaming on a standard 24 inch panel overkill? maybe going down to a GTX 1060? Could save also some bucks.
Anyone has some improvements?
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards
