Is this a good 1080p future proof build?

Aman_33 · Feb 22, 2017

I5 6500
Asus pro gaming z170 aura RGB
Corsair cx430W
Gigabyte GTX 1070 windforce OC
Corsair carbide spec 01

Please recommend better parts if not good
Looking to upgrade CPU and PSU after 2-3 years
Please help! It is my first time!

PSU isn't something you should consider to be upgradable in my opinion. Get a good high quality PSU from the start.

but yeah that looks like a PC that should game at 1080p with great settings for years to come.

Since you're CPU doesn't support over clocking (as it's a non- "K" CPU) you can probably downgrade from the over clocking friendly "Z" motherboard. Or at least do a lateral upgrade.

non K BCLK overclocking is readily supported by that board.

Higher wattage and better quality PSU, RM models from Corsair, Seasonic, XFX, EVGA SuperNova.

This is a good one for the price, https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16817151095

Not future proof. Your CPU is weak when paired with a 1070 unless you plan on playing older games. Right now your I5 will choke when playing BF1

Long story short, you can't future proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jG1-gjHJkA
