Is this PC build alright??

Dan_S1996 · Feb 4, 2017

I was going to buy a custom pre-built pc but after some research i have found better hardware for a lot cheaper.

CPU - Intel i5 6600k Skylake
CPU COOLER - Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
MOBO - MSI B150M Mortar Micro ATX LGA1151
HDD - 1 TB
SSD - 120GB
GPU - MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming x 8Gb
CASE - Aerocool 1000
PSU Corsair CX600 80+ Bronze
RAM - HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 2133MHz

Also, would it be better to build a pc yourself? i know the parts are cheaper

Building is usually the best way to go.
Get a z170 motherboard if you're gonna pay up for an unlocked CPU, or downgrade to a locked i5 6500 and save some money over marginal performance increases.

Use the money to get a newer CXM PSU or other good units ; EVGA G2/G3/GS, Corsair CXM/RMx, etc., Seasonic G series, etc.

What would you recommend for the PSU? The minimum for the gtx 1070 is 500w

Really, any of the ones I just said. EVGA G2 550w's can be found around $80. Great quality and price.

If you must cheap out, Corsair CXM.

Best quality ever, EVGA G3. Hefty price tag though.

Thanks for the advice!

Would you consider a Corsair Carbide Series 100R Mid Tower Case? $49.99 on Amazon.

BTW...Congrats on your decision to build yourself, you wont regret it !

I did have a look at that case, i'm not really a fan of the way it looks. It's either between the aerocool or the corsair spec alpha, i just really like the look of them
