Hi! With the help of Google I've chose some components, but because it's gonna be my first self PC building, I've decided to ask before purchasing whatever. My budget is 900$ and that's the components which I'm planning to buy so far:

Motherboard: Gigabyte B150M-HD3 DDR4, Socket LGA1151
RAM: Kingston HyperX Savage 8GB (2 x 4GB), DDR3, 1866MHz, CL9
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700 (3.40 GHz), 3.40 GHz, 8MB, Socket 1151
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 6GB G1 GAMING, GDDR5, 192bit
HDD: WD Blue 1TB, 7200 rpm, 64MB, SATA 3
Network Card: TP-Link PCI 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit
Power Supply: nJoy Woden 750, 750W, 80Plus Gold, 140mm fan, Nvidia SLI/ATI Crossfire Ready, Active PFC

Mainly I want it for games, but also I want a good overall performance.. Thanks!



Update: Thanks for the answers so far! I've looked at the store and I have changed the following red paragraphs:

Motherboard: Gigabyte B150M-HD3 DDR4, Socket LGA1151
RAM: Kingston HyperX Savage Black 8GB (2x4GB), DIMM, DDR4, 2133MHz, CL13, 1.2V
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-6600K, 3.5GHz, Skylake-S, 6MB, Socket 1151
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 6GB G1 GAMING, GDDR5, 192bit
HDD: WD Blue 1TB, 7200 rpm, 64MB, SATA 3
Network Card: TP-Link PCI 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit
Power Supply: Corsair RMx 650W RM650x

2 problems with your build:

- you need DDR4 RAM @2133MHz
- the PSU is 750W. you need no more than 500W. get a 450-550W quality PSU, for example a XFX TS, any Seasonic, a Corsair CXM, an Evga Supernova GS/G2 or an Antec High Current
- also if you're just planning on gaming, watching movies and listening to music, there's no reason to go for the i7 as an i5 will perform just as well at significantly lower cost

Good parts, although I've never heard of that PSU before. I would suggest faster ram and 16 gigs of it when u can get it though. The specs say it takes DDR4 ram yet your getting DDR3, u want DDR4 not 3.
