Hello everyone
I am new to customs pc's and all that sort of stuff, so I'm looking for some feedback on the build I made. I made the build on PcPartPicker, where it says there are no compatibility problems, but as an extra precaution I'm asking your help. So here's the link: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/AssassinoJG/saved/#view=dpqt6h . The build you are looking for is named "Final Build".
All feedback is welcome :) (and sorry for my bad Englsh, Dutch is my native language)
Cheers

Things is change

1) get a cheaper ,1060 6gb that's one of the more expensive ones (at least in the USA)

2) consider 2400 MHz ram as kaby natively supports it and usually some can be found for nearly the same price.

3) if in your country going to a 2*4gb kit isn't a ton more I'd also suggest going that route. Some places it's like $5-10 some places like India it's nearly double.

1) I found a used GTX 1060 6GB (3 months old) for 175€, thats about 195$, should I still change my GPU?
2) for 10€ extra I found a 1x8 GB 2400 MHz ram-stick, should I rahter pick that one?
3) I chose for a 1x8gb Ram because i'm most likely going to upgrade it in the near future, and the mdb only supports 2 ram-slots.

Alright, thanks for the advice :)
So keep all the parts (inc. the 195$ GPU) but upgrade the ram as soon as possible?

Yeah well looks like the guy selling me his gtx 1060 is a complete moron, because he sold the card to someone else cause he couldn't wait like 7 days... I did find a GTX 970 for the same amount of money (I know, it's a quite old card, but it'll do as my first PC ever), but is it compatible?

Ikr, and it is compatible right? (My worst fear is to buy all the components and find out they don't fit together) Thanks for the fast reply ;)
