Basically, I am from Estonia, Europe (if that helps somehow) and I am thinking of building my first gaming and maybe even a productivity PC. I've been watching some youtube videos on PC buildings and that got me thinking a bit to build one of my own. I have chosen the parts for my PC and wanted to know if there are any complaints/errors in that build. Again, keep in mind it's my first time so please don't hate or something like that. Also, sorry if there were any grammar mistakes. (My budget is around 850-1000 euros)

These are my parts what I'm going for:
CPU: Intel Core i5 7600k 3.8 GHZ LGA 1151 (€256.90)
CPU Cooler: Be Quiet! Pure Rock BK009 (€36.04)
Motherboard: MSI Z270 GAMING PRO CARBON (€176.34)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sports 16GB 2400mhz DDR4 Kit of 2 (2x8) (€120.00)
Storage HDD: Seagate BarraCuda 1TB 7200RPM 64mb 3.5 (€48.59)
Storage SSD: Patriot Spark 128GB SSD SATA III (€62.63)
Video Card: Asus Strix 1050 ti Gaming 4GB GDDR5 (€170.54)
Case: BitFenix Nova Midi-Tower ATX (€32.99)
Power Supply: Enermax MaxPro 700W EMP700AGT (€72.84)
Might have missed something? Don't know, feel free to tell me.
Total: €976.87
All of these have free shipping (if you can call it like that?) in Estonia. (Buying these from Estonia stores)

I already have a monitor and an OS so I am not gonna include those.
I guess that's it for now. Hoping to get some good answers and good advice.

The SSD is a little small, a 250 might be better, and probably not much more.
PSU is oversized, could be 450W with that setup, 550-600 to cope with all future single card setups (that I can reasonably envisage).

GPU is weak, Mobo is overpriced.

So get a cheaper mobo, ignore the bells and whistles of a 'gaming carbon' board, it means very very little other than a bigger price tag. Try and put that money into a 1060.

You should be able to save enough from the PSU, and the Mobo to bump the GPU and possibly the SSD as well.

Don't fall for the expensive cards, the most expensive 1050ti will be nearly the same as the cheapest 1060, and will not be as fast. The difference in speed from bottom to top of teh 1050ti range (and any range)...

Hi. I would go for the G Skill Ripjaws V 2400Mhz 2x8Gb. I bought mine (@3000Mhz) in Germany a bit cheaper than those. You can spare a few Euros and maybe put them on a better case than that Bitfenix.
Also keep in mind that that cpu cooler can cover one of your Ram slots. Check the price for a Noctua Nh12 or Nh14 for example. Or an Evo 212 for that matter. But the Noctuas are better for overclocking. The Evo212 will also allow you a it of overclocking if you are planning on doing it.
Also check the Psu tier list for a better Psu at you price range.

Thank you for answering. I totally forgot that cpu covering thing, I will consider one of those Noctuas. I would've gone for the Evo212 but that does not fit with the socket 1151 or does that even matter?

Hi,
first off, let me say that I am not entirely sure of pricing in Estonia. I used de.pcpartpicker.com, because at least its in Euros. First things first, Ryzen for this price, particularly if you are interested in overclocking! It is much cheaper and just as good, if not better! Also you don't really need 16gb ram. That money is best spent elsewhere. With thses savings in mind we can start to make upgrades. A larger ssd, a more powerful graphics card. A better case. A larger hard drive.
Rather than explain it to you, here is the build I suggest:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 1400 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor (€157.84 @ Mindfactory)
CPU Cooler: CRYORIG - H7 49.0 CFM CPU Cooler (€40.00 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Motherboard: Asus - PRIME B350M-A Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard (€74.99 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Memory: Kingston - Savage 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2133 Memory (€69.99 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Storage: Western Digital - Blue 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (€90.94 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Storage: Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (€74.90 @ Caseking)
Video Card: Palit - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB Dual Video Card (€263.77 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Case: Corsair - 100R ATX Mid Tower Case (€48.90 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Power Supply: Corsair - CSM 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply (€77.84 @ Mindfactory)
Total: €899.17

Again I am not sure how much of this applies seeing as this is german and you are in Estonia, however if you need to make price cuts, half the HDD, then use the stock CPU cooler, then halve the SSD, then change the GPU from a 1060 6gb to a 3gb.

BTW you English is great!
