Gaming PC Build Future Proof and 1080p 60fps gaming

Newbiegaming · Mar 5, 2017

Hello everyone!

Decided to post in this forum because I need some help.

I know a thing or two about building pc's and gaming pc hardware in general.

I want to build a gaming pc at this time, one that is going to be good at 1080p gaming.

I will be playing games like GTA 5, Call of Dutys, Overwatch, Battlefield H1Z1... so on

Don't want to spend much, till now, this is what I came up with.

GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 G1 Gaming 6G
Case: NZXT S340
HDD: 3.5" Western Digital Blue 1TB 7200RPM 64MB SATA III
SSD: Kingston 120gb SSD
RAM: CRUCIAL BALLISTIX 8GB (2X4GB) DDR4-2400MHZ BRANCAS
CPU: Intel Core i5-7500 Quad-Core 3.4GHz c/ Turbo 3.8GHz 6MB Skt1151
Motherboard: Gigabyte B250M-D3H
PSU: Corsair Builder CX500W

I am from Portugal, the total price for this is going to be 900€ (I already owned the SSD).

Is it a good investment? Good parts for the money? Good enough for I want?

Thank you in advance for all of the answers.

swap the CX500W for a CXm450W or CXm550W or a XFX Core / Pro with 450 / 550W
if you can, 16GB RAM would be nice for future proofing as you called it

Thanks for the help!

Is 450w enough? Even if I want to add some for fans and a better cpu cooler?

Regarding the 16gb of RAM, I only put 8GB in an attempt of lowerinf the price a little.

Ah I see, gotcha

450W is easily enough. A fan uses only a few W, the things that are big on the PSU are CPU & GPU

Since your GPU draws less that 150W
And your CPU less than 70W
A 450W PSU will be easily enough if it's a quality supply

Thank you very much! Rest of the build is good?

If you can afford it, go ahead and get 16gb of RAM. I wish I would have, just incase it's ever needed. Other than that, I have basically the same setup, which I consider to be ideal for 1080p Ultra 60FPS gaming on a budget.

Good build, however if you can, go for 16 gigs as user11464 pointed out. And I agree with isokolon, the old green CX series is unreliable. The new CXM series is much better. Also since you are from portugal, you can buy from this store:

pccomponentes.com

They are verified retailers and have excellent prices, and yes they do ship to portugal.
