Looking for opinion on this first personal gaming rig

MaxTheTech · Dec 27, 2016

I will have a I5-6500 of intel

My mother board will be B150M-C

I will run a GTX1060 turbo 6GB of VRAM
2 ram of 8 GB
2 fan of 60mm and one of 80mm

I'm considering to put two cd reader that I had on my old prebuilt computer.

I will have a ssd and two mechanical hard drive. all three are sata

one is an old 250gb but still working
a 1TB
and an ssd for the boot

I'd just like to know if I should remove the cd reader because I will probably won't use them but you never know .

Its my very first personal build.

Honestly, that's not bad. But what about power supply? Also, I wouldn't recommend using a CD Drive. Reason for this, you will probably barely use it. I've bought a USB disc drive, and that way I can just unplug it from my usb when I am not using it.

MaxTheTech · Dec 27, 2016

I was considering removing the discs and the power supply will be replaced in a few years. I took it because it was the first one avaible

It doesn't matter if you leave the CD drive, it uses very little power. Your build looks good, but I recommend you get a 1060 with two fans. It's only about 10$ more but it makes the card far quieter.

MaxTheTech :

But what kind of power supply is it? Just something to consider, especially if its a pre-built.

MaxTheTech · Dec 27, 2016

Here is a link for the power supply and its not prebuilt https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/zNK7YJ/evga-power-supply-100b10500kr

and for the graphic card sound isnt really my biggest worries. I honestly have addional fan for more airflow

MatthewGB · Dec 27, 2016

Thats a good quality PSU, it will power pretty much any GPU you put in your rig.

Herc08 · Dec 27, 2016

MaxTheTech :

Ah, I see. I was confused for a bit. But yes, this is a good build. And since you are going to replace the power supply, it should be fine.

MaxTheTech · Dec 27, 2016

alright sweet but to be fair the motherboard seems a bit underwhelming haha

but to be fair I didnt want to spend over 2k on this but I'm getting it for around 1.6k

Personally its the first time I build a computer for myself.

MaxTheTech · Dec 27, 2016

also I wasnt planning on overclocking reason why I picked the cpu and the motherboard

Also I have a Fan that is suppose to be placed in a pci or PCIE slot in the back . Should it put it above or under the GPU ? just want advices

Herc08 · Dec 27, 2016

MaxTheTech :

Well, you could get yourself a Z170, if you plan to overclock in the future. If not, then the B150 is doing to be just fine. I would stay away from the H170, as it is just a glorified B150.

EDIT: Just saw your new post, then stick with the B150. As far as the fans go, you would have to put it under the GPU, but you want the GPU to go in the first PCIe slot.

MaxTheTech · Dec 27, 2016

I see well I didn't have enough for the Z170 and The B150 was the only avaible at the provider from where I work. So I kinda took the short way

MaxTheTech · Dec 27, 2016

So far I got the two front and back fan installed . I'm waiting impatiently to install the rest since they have yet to arrive. I'm super hyped for this. I used to game on a laptop and it really was horrid so I'm super excited for this rig.

Herc08 · Dec 27, 2016

MaxTheTech :

I was the same way with a Geforce 940m. Then I bumped up to my rig and I can play any game.

Didn't your case come with fans?

MaxTheTech · Dec 27, 2016

It has one in the back. I have an old one that I installed in the front

Herc08 · Dec 27, 2016

MaxTheTech :

Well if it's still spending, then it should be fine.

MaxTheTech · Dec 27, 2016

I havent tested the old one so I dunno
