First gaming build since 2008. How does it look?

ElMuerte · Sep 13, 2016

Like the title says, it's been awhile since my last build. What are your thoughts on the following build? Should run BF1 fine I hope. Thanks for any input.

I made a couple of changes you may or may not like. First of all, I love that case, but I REALLY love the smaller version of it. I traded out for the better GTX1060 and added a much better cooler.

A 500GB SSD is a little overkill. :/
I'll post a build in a sec.

Never thought about the 1060. I was just excited to go with a Radeon again. It's been a long time since I used one. The 1060 looks good, and around the same price, that's a plus. Never heard of that brand of HSF. It looks like it is much better than the Cooler Master. The only parts I have bought so far are the case and the PSU. I could send it back if y'all really think a 650w is essential. As for the 500gb SSD being over kill. This will be my first build with one. I was under the impression that OS and games on the SSD, and all other less used programs/media on the HDD. That's why I was going to go with a 500gb.

It's not that you NEED a 650w, you'll be perfectly fine with a 450w really because your build will draw under 300w, but it is the best value modular PSU out there atm imo.
