Hi,

I am looking to build my first PC and I have done some research into the area. I am a casual gamer, so I am not looking to build a high-end gaming / expensive PC, but more like something in between with decent performance.

I am thinking about the following build:
GeForce GTX 1070 ITX OC - 8GB
Intel Core i5-6600 Skylake
G.Skill RipjawsV DDR4-2400 C15 DC - 16GB
ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING
EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 v2 PSU - 850 Watt - 140 mm - 80 Plus Gold certified
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU

Any opinions? Any suggestion(s) would be appreciated. I.e. any components worth upgrading at a small price which will substantially improve performance or similar?

Thanks :)

Leo

Thanks for the swift response. Just for my understanding, if I do need to overclock, is this build somewhat decent?
