Thoughts on build?

SamG97 · Sep 29, 2016

Just wanted to get a few opinions on this GTX 1080 build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/yLtBqk

If anyone has any suggestions or improvements that wouldn't affect the costs too much they would be appreciated.

Thanks, Sam

This build costs less, with a better power supply, Motherboard, SSD, RAM, and 6-heatpipe Air cooler. You don't need a watercooler for good cooling!

Great build, terrible PSU. Do not let that thing touch that quality of PC with that much money in it. Remember, your PSU is basically the on component that has the ability to fry your entire PC should it fail.

I think this would be better, for the money. Case is a personal choice, so I left it alone.
