How good is this build?

inhumanCRAZYGUN · Dec 10, 2016

First pc build, just curious if there are any problems with this build? such as bottlenecking, supporting possibly 3 monitors, and how future-proof would you say it is?

Here is a few changes that only need a good heatsink later on for a good overclock.

you will be better with this PSU :https://pcpartpicker.com/product/nB3RsY/seasonic-power-supply-s12ii620bronze
on spared money, get this SSD which larger and much faster : https://pcpartpicker.com/product/KXkwrH/crucial-mx300-275gb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-ct275mx300ssd4
but you will need a MB with M.2 slot like this: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jY98TW/asus-h110m-am2-micro-atx-lga1155-motherboard-h110m-am2

This is not a bad build. You can save some money by dropping down to a 6400/6500. Not saying anything is wrong with the 6600, because it is certainly faster than the two. But, if you are strictly gaming, then you should be good. The triple monitor situation is also good as well. However, you will need an HDMI, DVI or DisplayPort to connect to the GPU. You should be good for the next 3 or 4 years.

Na its just enough savings to get the overclocking CPU and motherboard. The video card and HD change may be enough for the change to the motherboard and cpu.

For the psu i know its way over the wattage but i got a good deal on it but is it okay? because its double the recommended amount and i know the psu only pulls what it needs i mainly got it for future upgrading
