Hi,

I have decided on a PC build and I am sticking with it. Here it is:
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/86j3Yr

The main games I am probably going to be playing are Overwatch, GTA 5, PUBG, and other quite demanding games in the future. What tweaks can I make to the system to make its overall performance in the coming years and now? Since GPU prices are starting to go down, what can I do? This is in terms of all the components. I can't seem to find the Bitfenix Nova TG on PCPartPicker, so just substitute that out, also the fan splitter too. I will be adding another red led fan onto the price. Need ok parts overall, no bottlenecking or just bad performance and chemistry between all.

Thanks,

You will need an OS anyway, windows doesn't like motherboard changes. The GTX 1060 is better than the RX 570.
The builds already shown are just about 800 euros. If you really want the GTX 1060, which I agree will benefit you, you will need to spend around 60 more euros:

Low quality PSU, and you certanly wont last long on 128GB of storage, maybe just a normal HHD for now on that budget. Also about budget, it doesn't make sense to me to spend that much on the keyboard and mouse, I would funnel that towards better components. That case doent look promising either, with the PSU on top it will impede ariflow and cooling. Ant the bitfex nova tg is a really bad case in terms of cooling.

Of course, if you in love with the keyboard and mouse, which is totaly fair, the build can still be optimised a bit further.

This can be overclocked. The first upgrade you should go for is defiantly CPU. The CPU and GPU are very well matched, upgrading one and not the other will result in a bottleneck. I say do the CPU first because many people, myself included, are expecting to games use more threads with the higher thread availability brought about by Ryzen. Plus even if it doesn't work out that way, more cores will often result in better frame times, making a smoother game. Once you get another CPU for that board (which is totally feasible until 2020), the GPU will be the next upgrade. By now, there will probably be a new gen of card to choose from, and you might try for one of the higher end cards so that your upgrade is actually worth it. Then you will want to upgrade RAM to 16 GB of 3200 MHz.
What you could try to do to save the money of an operating system is attempt the transfer anyway, and only if it doesn't work out, buy one. You will need to very lucky though.
