Adenocarcinoma · Sep 9, 2016

Hi all, this is my first time building a computer, i don't have too much knowledge about this, so any help is appreciated!

This is my proposed setup for my tower only. I did some research into the parts but i feel that i have chosen parts that i may not need. Please offer your suggestions and how i could improve it.

CPU: Intel Core i7-6800K 3.4GHz 6-Core Processor
Motherboard: MSI X99A GAMING 7 ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
Case w/ PSU: Thermaltake Versa N21 ATX Gaming Chassis with 600W 80PLUS Power Supply

Thanks!

I am assuming that the purpose of your build will be for gaming judging by the parts that you have selected.
It looks as if you have chosen a pretty decent selection of parts however if I would advise that with the CPU, GPU and MB you have selected I would probably advise maybe investing in a power supply that is a more "beefier" if you know what I mean possibly a 650W at least.
Hope I could help

What are you using this system for? Budget? Its not exactly a great build.
The RAM is slow for what you are running, cases that come with PSUs are garbage (the case and the PSU), There is no OS, you probably want some sort of cooler.

Any specific PSU & ram you can suggest?

Anything with a higher speed, at least 2400MHz.
Corsair's RMx lineup is phenomenal. EVGAs B2, G2, P2, or T2 as well.

No, beef is not what he needs. Matter of fact, power ain't quite what it feeds. It's the energy, man. Stable voltage, now those are seeds. The roots of a good power supply, indeed.

A 450W PSU will be great. It's not really much of a debate. His hardware only draws maybe 250W when gaming. PSUs are most efficient at 50% load. A 450W or 550W PSU is fine. If it were mine, I'd take it over a 650W and save the money. Then I'd bake a nice cake, for my honey.
