Hi,
I have created a thread before and I had gotten the solution and now I need one more final check on my PC build. I live in Australia and use AUD. I want an Intel build.
EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC GAMING 6GB Video Card
Windows 10 Home 32/64-bit USB Drive
Intel Core i5 7600 Quad Core LGA 1151 3.5 GHz CPU Processor
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4 2400MHz Memory Black
Deepcool Tesseract SW Red Mid-Tower Case - Black
MSI B250M GAMING PRO LGA 1151 Micro-ATX Motherboard
Seagate ST2000DM006 2TB BarraCuda 3.5" 7200RPM SATA3 Desktop Hard Drive
Corsair CX550M 550W 80 Plus Bronze Semi-Modular Power Supply
Genius Scorpion K215 7 Colour Backlight Gaming Keyboard
(Mouse free with Motherboard) & (I have a 1080p hdmi monitor)
Total: $1,465.98 (from MWave)
Questions
1.) Should I pay the extra $20 AUD for the superclocked graphics card vs the normal gtx 1060 6gb? Is it worth it? Also do I need another cooler for the superclocked. At first I was stumped and wanting to go for the cheaper 3gb version but a person called Lucky persuaded me not too. I was convinced by this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNhvmP8yNE4&t=1416s
2.) Little bit unsure about my cpu, went on thebottlenecker.com to see if it goes well with gpu, only like 3% bottleneck detected (however the option was for the gtx 1060 3gb not 6gb and I know that there is a small speed difference) I do not wish to get the overclock i5 7600k as I need to spend more money as well with the cooler and really do not wish to push the budget any more. Does the cpu come with the 'stock' cooler? Is the normal 7600 good enough and do I need anything else other than screwdriver to install (thermal paste?)?
3.) Don't know much about RAM, just want modern ram and ddr4 and more than 2100mhz, corsair lpx was cheapest in this range. My Budget allows 16gb and I want to have that amount for future proofing, already games like Destiny 2 has 8gb as recommended. I really want the rig to last. https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/109713
Good choice?
4.) I like the look of this case and also how cheap it is. It shows two red lit fans, are they included and do I need any extra wires other than from the psu or is it included from the case? For the case it says only 1 usb.30 port, can I use a Hub manager, I have a 7-port hub manager and it supports usb3, so will this work from the output of that 1 usb3 port from the case, and will it give me equal speed for 3 devices using usb3.0 when it is connected by the hub manager to the ONE usb 3 port from the case?
5.) I like the motherboard, it has some nice features comes with a mouse and its red, I am aware that it is micro atx but i saw that it is not really a problem and I am going with it also because of the price. I tried searching but couldn't get a clear answer: can I install these two corsair lpx two RAM sticks in it? I heard with micro atx motherboard the ram can interfere with other components or even the cooler maybe, is this true in my build maybe? Will air flow be a large problem due to the micro atx build considering i also have the two red lit fans from the case?
6.)I think I'm ok with the hard drive, 2tb is optimal and not too expensive.
7.) Not a clue about power supply, a friend recommended this one to me, said the CX is more trustworthy and the semi modular is good. what is semi modular? Also does it have enough of those wires to connect to all my fans and components including the two red lit fans included in my case?
8.) Just getting a cheap gaming keyboard only $30 or so dollars. Don't want to push the budget over too much as building it will take $50 from a comp store.
Please advise me if the choices I made are alright or not. I am very new to this and a bit apprehensive. It would suck if one of the components I chose was incompatible or whatever.
Also 1 more question, do you have an estimation how long the build will last in a gaming sense, to the point where modern games cant be played on medium-high graphics on 1080p with this build?
Extremely thankful for any advice!
