Hello guys i m currently living in greece and i was thinking of building a new pc system.Reason why is that my current computer cant handle newest games (its only natural tho since my last update on hardware was on 2011)Well i m currently building a new pc with a mid range budget.Being doing some research for buy for value hardware.I need your help tho cause i m a total noob when it comes to new pc's.I really want your help for compatibility issues that might occur if i do it solo.Thats for the intro,i m going to post the "best" i could afford so.


Motherboard :MSI Z170A Gaming M7 currently 223 euros worth in greece
Graphic Card : Gigabyte GeForce GTX1050 Ti 4GB G1 Gaming 205 Euros
Cpu : Intel Core i5-6600K Box 226 Euros
Ram's : Corsair Value Select 8GB DDR4-2133MHz 62 euros
Power Supply: Thermaltake TR2 S 700W


So thats what i m thinking of buying .I know that comparing prices is nearly Impossible since europe has different money values.I would like your opinions about compability issues .
Thanks in advance!

Yes sure, 16gb ram will last you years to come and the 1500x is a very good cpu and will work great with a gtx 1060.

Oh I forgot something btw, make sure you have a 120gb ssd for windows, and a hdd for games.

I would go for the ryzen 1500x or 1600, more bang for the buck and more performance and much cheaper.

What is your budget? I would try to get something like this if it fits:
ryzen 1500x
AM4 b350 motherboard (anyone is fine really, theyre like around 80-90,-)
8gb DDR4 2666mhz
gtx 1060 3gb or 6gb
Corsair cx450m PSU
case is personal preference so I cant decide on that. :)

Hey thanks for your recommendation's ,as i said i m a totall noob when it comes to building new computers. I did some minor research tho but the rough idea of your proposal is to lower the cost on motherboard.cpu to spend them on a better graphic card?
Oh and the budget is around 700 tho the lower the better.The whole meaning of building a new pc honestly is for better gaming experience no more low fps/graphics no more stuttering and so on

Correct, while gaming both the ryzen 1500x and i5 6600k will work fine but the gtx 1060 is a good amount better than the 1050ti, and the money saved on the expensive Z170 motherboard can be used for a better graphics card. Or if the 1050ti is enough then you can just save the money, but the 1060 will allow you to play anything at ultra while the 1050ti will not. :)

Raw powerwise the 1500x is also stronger than the 6600k and more future proof, it has 4 cores and 8 threads, basically it's like an i7. It runs at 3.5ghz with a boost of 3.7ghz and I believe one or two cores can even go up to 3.9ghz.
On a b350 motherboard it can be overclocked to 4ghz on the stock cooler, personally I wouldnt do that since it is already fast enough for a 1060 at stock, but it is possible. :)

Well i would love some help on building it

Motherboard :Asus Prime B350 Plus
Cpu : AMD Ryzen 5 1500X
Ram : Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4-2666MHz
Graphic Card : Gigabyte GeForce GTX1060 6GB

thats around 120euros cheaper than my original build with the 6gb graphic card. Are these ones compatible with each other ?

Yes those are compatible, make sure that the ram is 2x4 for dual channel which is faster than 1x8.

If it is that much cheaper you might even get the ryzen 1600 which is about 30€ more I think but has 6 cores instead of 4. Though it is clocked a bit lower (3.2-3.6ghz) but you can overclock that one to atleast 3.8ghz on the stock cooler aswell on the same motherboard.

If i still take the ryzen 1500x since i dont know what overlock is can i also take 2x8 Dimm 2 rams ? since they are 7 euros up the 2x4 Dimm 2?
