Looking for a power supply

Dskull · Mar 4, 2017

I am building a rig, but I am not able to select a suitable power supply so could you help me with it. The components are -

Asus H170 pro gaming motherboard
I5 6600k 3.5 GHz
Corsair 4x 8gb DDR4 RAM
Gigabyte gtx 1060 6 GB
Seagate 1tb HDD
Adata 512 GB SSD

It would be a great help you could check the compatibility of these components too

Get a z170 board to allow overclocking that 6600k.

Drop the adata and get a Samsung 850evo

Power supply. EVGA G2/3 550w is fine.

My budget is not enough to buy z170 board.
I require a 500gb SSD and ADATA had the cheapest one but if its not gonna go I'll change it.
And thanks for the advise on power supply. I'll go with that .

32gb ram ?? You sure you need that ??
Outside of massive rendering use & dealing with huge raw photo images 16gb will give you a minimum 6 or 7 GB clear in just about any instance you care to mention.

I got 2x 8gb RAM as a gift and had 2 on my previous PC. So why not install them .

Dskull · Mar 4, 2017

Could you suggest me a good case of less than 120$

Dskull :

if you have that much for a case, get a cheap $30 one and upgrade to a z170 mobo

are you in the us? if so what is your max budget?

do you have keyboard, mouse, monitor?

Then drop the 6600k for a 6500, or a 7500 and a h250 motherboard or whatever the current non-OC chipset is.

Don't pair 6600k and non-Z boards...it is money wasted.

So what all processors can I go with my Asus H170 pro gaming board

maxalge · Mar 4, 2017

Dskull :

any one you want, it's just that "k" versions are unlocked for overclocking with a proper z170 mobo

you are paying extra for a feature you would not use on a h170 motherboard

buying new get a i5 7500 + b250 motherboard

Thanks alot burgessanthony and maxalge.

madmatt30 · Mar 4, 2017

I'm with maxalge on the case option (although not a cheap $30 option realistically)

Plenty $50-70 cases that don't really sacrifice anything from maybe slightly lesser overall build quality

The r1 & deepcool kendomen are rock solid $50 options

I'll go with the z170 I just checked the price and Its almost equal to H170 pro. I checked the wrong on before

maxalge · Mar 4, 2017

madmatt30 :

good call

this is an area you should skimp on to the benefit of cpu/mobo

maxalge · Mar 4, 2017

Dskull :

how would that compare price wise to a i5 7600k + z270 motherboard where you live?

Dskull · Mar 4, 2017

The thing is that I'll get a z170 board for 10 -20 dollar more cause I bought h170 board just 2 days back, and can exchange it.

Z270 + i5 7600k would go off the budget plus I have already bought an i5 6600k

Dskull · Mar 4, 2017

I live in India by the way

madmatt30 · Mar 4, 2017

^ then both cases I mentioned are available to you for less than $70.
