Hi, I have the option between two pc's.
The first one is the msi Nightblade-X2.
Or a selfbuild pc consisting of:
gigabyte GTX 1060 3GB;
I5-7400;
MSI b250 Bazooka;
1TB WD Blue;
8 ram Ballistix
Cooler Master GX 650W;

I'm especially going to use it for gaming.
thank you in advance

Let's see; with what you're showing me:

The NightBlade X2's PSU, from what I gathered, is made by FSP and therefore its quality should be at least decent.

It doesn't take a lot to get a 6600k to 4.5Ghz where it will simply out class an 7400.

In the battle between GTX 970 and GTX 1060 6GB, the 1060 win some and lose some; on one hand the 970 has that 3.5GB VRAM thing, on the other hand your 1060 is only 3GB (the 3GB version has less CUDA cores than the 6GB version and therefore is slightly slower as well). So it's ~50/50 for this one with a slight advantage to the GTX 1060 for being the newer architecture.

Finally, with extra plus points like wifi and SSD, I'd say that the NightBlade X2 is the better pick in this case.

So long that...

So long that you don't mind the rather cramped interior that make it difficult to upgrade the thing and you may want to set a more aggressive fan profile for the GPU as there isn't a whole lot of room for its fans to draw in fresh air.
