any issues with this build? or tips. also a question on which gtx 1060 to go with

veltoc · Jun 8, 2017

this is a first time build, and I have been running it by friend who have experience and other people along with some research of my own. this is a sorta budget pc wanting to keep it below $900.

Im debating between the gigabite windforce oc and the zotac currently on the build. any other tips for other parts of the build? or possible issues.
thanks in advance

Edit: kept looking across sites, the zotac has fan issues and is out of the picture. anything wrong with the MOBO? from what I found its pretty good, has what I need. water cooling ability, good bios, room for 3 fans + cpu fan without a manager.

only issue with this is possibly the case, I need the best airflow I can get, and would personally like I good design (which isn't a problem with the NZXT)

If it were me I'd spend less on the case and more on the SSD. I'd rather have a Samsung SSD and an $80 case than an Adata SSD and a $110 case, but that's really personal preference. In terms of brand, I'd prefer Gigabyte over Zotac, but once again that's just personal preference. Otherwise it looks good.

Ok sir I checked your build and I can see that you picked the ADATA SSD , zotac gpu and coolermaster case. I had two ADATA SSD's both failed with a small period of time. It's not only my problem as my friend had the same issue after a 4 month period of time. I would recommend getting a NZXT case , sandisk SSD and EVGA 600w psu in case you would need more power in the future. Also zotac cards are not as good in overclocking as MSI ARMOR Gtx 1060 card. I HIGHLY recommend getting the msi version of gtx 1060. You can also go for EVGA , ASUS or Gigabyte card. Keep in mind that Gigabyte , MSI and EVGA cards overclock the best. Here is the build that I modified for you.

Also sir you can swap for these cards. :

jakubek160 :

yeah the more I look at zotac the more I hate it, apparently they have fan issues, very often. the evga gets a bit hot for my liking. and I had the case since it appeared to be the best for looks and great airflow. (I live in a house that has very crappy AC and during the summer my room tends to always be above 26 degrees celsus, ~80 degrees Fahrenheit. But I do agree that the case went out of budget a bit, sadly the ability to cool well is a must. I'm impressed with the changes tho. so this is a trustable SSD?
thanks for the heads up by the way.

Yes sir. Sandisk is way better than ADATA SSD. I personally had a lot of contact with a polish goodram ssd's. But I don't know about availability in other countries. Also I have used kingston and pny. Both companies make better ssd's in my opinion. I personally thing that you should go for either kingston or sandisk ssd. As they are not as faulty. Also sit I would buy a different motherboard. You overpay. Asrock does the job and has more friendly bios as I know from my own experience. Final build.:
