Hey guys,

always nice to hear your thoughts on these kinds of things as its normal to overlook something.

Heres the list of parts:
Intel i5 7400 (not K)
MSI GeForce GTX 1060 3GB OC
Gigabyte GA-H110M DS2- LGA 1151 socket
Corsair Carbide SPEC-M2 Midi tower (with window)
Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2133hz 2x4GB
WD Blue 1TB
Corsair CX600M PSU (Its an old one, just not interested in a new one)

Total budget is something around 800USD (in sweden so its 7000SEK)

Monitor and OS are already taken care of,
What do you guys think?


its gonna be used mostly for editing and games such as WoW or League, not too intense but at max, should last for at least a few years.

Thanks in advance,
Much love

the h110 motherboards require a skylake(i#-6###) cpu to be installed first and bios flashed in order for them to work with kaby lake(i#-7###) cpus. personally I would remedy that by just getting a b250m motherboard which supports kaby lake from the start. other than that, if you can spend the extra $60 i'd go for the 6gb gtx 1060 over the 3gb. also, that cpu can support 2400mhz ram, which is often the same price as 2133 so might aswell even though you won't notice a difference.

btw I have the corsair Spec-03 which is bigger than the M2, and the fit is tight at the top. one of the holes for cable management is actually unusable due to the motherboard going all the way up to the top of the case. other than that the spec cases are good. not the highest quality, but definitely excellent price to quality.

I wish I would have paid $20 more for the Fractal Define Mini C though. that case imo is untouchable at it's price point.
