Hey, guys I'm looking for a PC that can run most games on ultra at 60 or more fps easily and look aesthetically pleasing to me and won't cost a kidney. So far after many hours of research and watching youtube video I have come up with this part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/mJzyqk I would like to get some criticism back on what things you think I should change. QUESTIONS I HAVE 1. I added a CPU cooler that has a red fan because i think the stock intel cooler is ugly. It's a cheap cooler and I don't want to get it if it isn't going to get the job done so if you know of any other red CPU cooler link them below, please. 2. Will I be able to run most games at least at 60fps on ultra most of the games I enjoy open worlds such as Skyrim and Fallout 4, I also sometimes play shooters. 3.Will everything fit? I haven't owned the NZXT S340 before it says it's all compatible but I'm not sure if it will all fit and look nice. Also, should I consider the NZXT S340 Elite since it does have the tempered glass? 4. I saw a couple red fans with LED but I don't know which to get. I know since I won't be OC it won't get very hot but I do want to add some fans that are wallet friendly. 5. THANK YOU VERY MUCH I APPRECIATE ANY AND ALL HELP

Hey Johan,

1. The CPU cooler seems to have some good reviews, I don't have any personal experience with it however from my perspective it looks fine.

2. No you will not be able to run the specified games with max settings at 60 fps with your currently picked parts.

3. Everything looks compatible in your build, worst case scenario you will have to remove a hard drive tray to give some extra room for whatever graphics card you end up getting.

4. Any fan should be fine however I would recommend 140mm fans, as smaller fans tend to be noisy.

5. You're welcome

In conclusion:
The parts you have selected would be fit for a standard build, meaning you will not be able to run most games on ultra at 60fps with the gtx 1060 however it is a...

The parts you have selected would be fit for a standard build, meaning you will not be able to run most games on ultra at 60fps with the gtx 1060 however it is a good card to run games at moderate settings.

While there are many personal suggestions I could make to keep your options open for the future I can tell that you are trimming where you can to save money, so I won't be recommending unnecessary upgrades. However I will say to achieve your main goal of running most games on ultra at 60 fps you should increase your graphics cards to a gtx 1080+ card and stick with an efficient 600+ Watt CPU. Besides that everything else looks good.

Cheers.
