Hello!
First of all I would like to express my gratitude for this forum! It had helped me many times with my questions. I am building my first PC and I thought it would be a good idea to post it here.
I will be using it for gaming, streaming and video editing.

CPU: Intel Core i5-6400 2.7GHz
Motherboard: MSI H110M PRO-D
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V Red DDR4 2400 PC4-19200 16GB 2x8GB CL15
Storage: Kingston SSDNow mS200 60GB mSATA + Toshiba DT01ACA100 1TB 7200rpm
GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 1060 Turbo 6GB GDDR5
PSU: Tacens Mars Gaming MPII 650W
Optical Drive: LG GH24NSD1 DVD 24x
Case: NOX Coolbay SX USB 3.0

Total price: 750,00 € The price may vary depending on the currently available GPU, I have seen GTX 1060 6GB for as little as 260,00 € up to 350,00 €. I will choose the cheapest one, also I won´t be doing any OC.
I would´t like to go above that price, but if it´s necessary for noticeably better performance, then I will go for it.


Is this build the most optimal one for my needs? Should I change something? Should I choose another PSU of a better company like: EVGA B1 450W 80 Plus Bronze? Would 450W be enough?

Is there any possibility to futher reduce the total cost without loosing on the performance?

Thanks for all the replies.

Streaming gameplay, you are going to want an i7. Neither PSU is a good choice, and that SSD is pretty much useless. I had to go with a 4th gen Xeon to meet the i7 performance, and a 3gb 1060, but managed to get it just under 800.

Thank you so much for your answer! I will try to assemble better parts, but it seems that this Xeon isn't available in Spain right now. I assume PSU of 450W will be enough then? Why is that SSD useless? Is it because of 60GB or the company?
