I have been saving for a couple of months to build my gaming PC for the first time! I have read a lot of threads on which parts to pick and finally I have myself a build. Please let me know what you think and if possible tell me how I can make my build better/cheaper.

Thank you in advance!

You can find my build - here

Also pcpartpicker didn't have the bargain price for MSI GeForce GTX 1070 AERO. I found it for a much cheaper price in Novatech which can be found - here

I usually play FPS games such as - BF1, CS-GO, Overwatch, H1Z1 and GTA5.

P.S - forgot to mention.. I also have a samsung EVO 850 500gb ssd

New update - I found another gtx 1070 card ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5 Graphics Card which only goes for £ 379 and comes with a 5 year warranty! I can't decide which one to get really. Please help :/

Thanks again in advance to those who took their precious time to view my build. It means a lot!

Super Flower is one of the best PSU companies.
They're OEM for EVGA's high quality series (G3/G2/P2/T3) and are very reliable.

The card is nice, go for it
You'll need to remove the upper HDD cage. This leaves you with 5 drive bays. Should be enough for you ;)

H7 should be fine
- the 212 Evo barely handles an i5-7600k. It's fine at stock speeds but limits your overclocking severely.
Go with a Scythe Mugen or a Cryorig H5, at least a Cryorig H7.
- the aero is a blower style card. Would recommend it for anything else than small form factor builds. A 2 fan design 1070 will perform way better
- not a fan of MSI boards. They got quality control issues way too often. But that's more of a personal opinion.

Thank you for your response. So I should get another cooler then.
what are your thoughts on ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5 Graphics Card? Do you think this will fit to the mid tower case that I got in my build? Also what do you think about the airflow in Corsair SPEC-02 ATX Mid Tower Case?
Lastly, which other motherboard do you suggest? Please dont hurt me too much with the price I am already above my budget :lol:

Apologies for bombarding you with questions.:)

- you can go with the 379£ Zotac as well if it's a two fan design
- if you really need to save 20 more £ get the Asus Z270-k or -p or whatever it's called. It's the cheapest Asus Z270 board and can be found for ~110£
- if you find a Cryorig H7 you can get this one as well
- the case I picked is rather nice and for that price a must have. I have it's big brother, the F51 myself and it's excellent.

I have the budget for gigabyte z270 motherboard.
So the zotac gtx 1070 that I found has 3 fans this is the link - here. The dimensions for this GPU are 315mm x 111mm x 46mm. Do you think it will fit in the Thermaltake F31? I actually did really liked that case. :D
I have never heard of Super Flower PSUs... Are they reliable?
I did find Cryorig H7 for 31 pounds which I think is a pretty good price -H7- which one do you prefer? H5 or H7?

Thanks again :)
