Hello,
I've decided to build a new gaming PC. I've never built a PC before and my knowledge about parts isn't that good. I decided to go with a GTX 1060 6GB Armor OCV1 and an Intel core i5-6600K. I actually have a few choices for a motherboard but I wanted to go with the white theme so I picked an Asus - PRIME Z270-K. The RAM that I picked is Kingston - HyperX Fury Black 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4 2666Mhz. I wanted to go with 16 gigabytes of RAM but I will go over my budget, so I will probably upgrade in the future since the motherboard has 4 RAM slots. The one thing I'm not sure about is the CPU cooler. I picked the Thermaltake Contac Silent 12 ( Dimensions (W x D x D mm): 127 x 75.3 x 153. ) and I have no idea if it will fit inside the case and if it will block the RAM slots. The case is an NZXT S340 Glossy White Mid Tower ( Dimensions (W x H x D mm) 203 x 474 x 432. ). I can't afford an SSD right now, so I decided to get only a Western Digital - Blue 1TB 3.5". And for a power supply I chose a Corsair - CXM 550W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX . The Recommended System Power (W) on Nvidia's GTX 1060 specs is 400W. The system is 331W on pcpartpicker and I'm not really interested in overclocking so I suppose 550W 80+ will be enough. If it's needed, I can provide the links for the components that I've picked. Thank you in advance!!


Here's a pcpartpicker list of my parts:
*Note: The ram's speed is 2666Mhz not 2133Mhz!*

I'd say yes , with a ryzen & a 1060 , a 75htz screen ia a very very good choice

That aoc is a nice screen full stop , it maybe €15-20 more than what you were looking at ??

But you spend an awful lot/of time looking at the screen & it just pays to get a good one imo.

I've looked on both those sites you mentioned & really there's nothing that touches it for similar money.

No, I haven't got any spare parts right now. Also I prefer Intel. If you have some good reason to pick Ryzen tell me.

(7600k is the new 6600k)


this is a video from 4 months ago, it was new tech so games were fully optimalized for intel and not for amd, but is patched for the majority.
amd features 6 cores and 12 threads vs just 4 cores from the i5 7600k, its just the better value for the moment.

conclussion: intel is still ahead in gaming but you get for 90%+- the gaming experience , better multitasking(streaming ,ts skype while gaming), better in multithreaded applications (video edditing ).

truth to be told, i never had an issue with intel, but i had no other choice because a year ago amd was no competition to intel , but now it is(thx to ryzen).

I see. What ryzen 5 would you recommend me for about the same price? And also if there's a white motherboard for ryzen that would be good.

Stock cooler with the 1600 is excellent (the 1600x does not come with a cooler) .
Personally I think the 1600 is easily the best buy , performance at stock is within 4% of the 1600x worst case scenario (normally the same as they'll both triple core boost to 3.7ghz) , its cheaper , it comes with a cooler which is easily capable of overclocking to 4ghz.

Out of those 2 boards I'd pick the pro 4 because I own one & its simply good enough .

Its surely a LOT cheaper than the killer ????
Would the pro 4 allow you to get 16gb ram in there in budget ??
If the answer is yes then it makes sense.

The Pro4 is 50 euro cheaper. A 8gb stick is 85 euro. I probably can afford it

In all cases, 16gb ram is going over my budget. I was thinking about upgrading my ram in future since the difference between 8gb and 16gb isn't that huge. After I buy a monitor, keyboard, headset etc. I might have some money left so I could buy an SSD or more RAM

I'm going to buy parts from a website. I live in Bulgaria. Changing the motherboard and CPU didn't really make a price difference. I can get a ryzen 5 1600x with a be quite cooler and that pro4 motherboard and it will cost me the same. Where I live there are no local stores nearby.

Straight away I'm seeing the 1600x + be quiet coming in at €294 & the 1600+ stock cooler at €232.

That to me is more than a small difference.

https://m.emag.bg/pamet-crucial-ballistix-sport-lt-16-gb-2x8gb-ddr4-2400-mhz-cl16-1-2v-bls2c8g4d240fsb/pd/DWT9BYBBM/

Ballistix sport 2400 2 x 8gb is €63 more than a single 8gb 2666mhz hyperx - I've had the ballistix running at 2933mhz on the pro 4 but have settled on 2666mhz because it uses less voltage & performs virtually the same.
