Planning to do moderate gaming, but mostly CSGO, some Assassins Creed games, smaller indie games, and possibly some of the newer Battlefield games, duel-booting Windows 10 and Ubuntu or Fedora. All at 1080p, but I might get a 144hz monitor eventually. I'm wondering if the 1060 will be bottlenecked by the i3 at all, or how far an i3 can push before it begins to bottleneck. I want the SSD for load times, and I feel that any GPU past a 1060 or thereabouts is overkill for what I do. Because I live near a micro center, I got crazy cheap prices on the SSD, WD Blue, CPU/Mobo combo (original price of the motherboard was around 55, then rebate, then 30 off for the bundle). I saw the 700 Watt 80+ Bronze, and I know it's overkill, but it will leave a lot of room for upgrading in the future to an i5/i7 and a better GPU if I need it. It's also an amazing deal for $40.
Since this will be my first build, is the SPEC-01 roomy/easy to build in? And will the non-modular PSU be a pain? Thanks in advance
