You are going to pair a ~$300 CPU and a $300+ GPU to a sub $40 PSU? Really? To be honest your build is a bit all over the place. Expensive CPU and GPU, but cheap PSU, CPU cooler, single stick of ram, etc. What is the point of this PC? You should be able to buy/build a better one.

I would get better cooling (Cryorig H7 is a better option on a budget), and add an SSD. That PSU is also incredibly cheap and I would not put it in your system. A CXM 550w is a better choice for the price.

EDIT: This is a little more pricey, but with much higher quality parts and components that make much more sense for gaming.

Why asrock motherboatd, my aorus ultra gaming is better

4745454b · Oct 28, 2017

For any of the people who like to build systems, he's currently sitting at 927.54. Though the DVD drive and Ram doesn't have a price with them so he either has them already or you can go closer to $1k.

Edit:

Why asrock motherboatd, my aorus ultra gaming is better

Because he switched camps. It's an AMD build now and not an Intel build. If this is a gaming build this is a better PC, though I'm still not happy with the PSU.

Im Big M :

It's cheaper and motherboards aren't going to affect performance too much. The only difference is really preferential things. If you have a legit reason to keep the Aorus board over the ASRock that's fine, but the difference is going to be minimal at best.

Im Big M · Oct 28, 2017

Umm, ok, but i already have intel 8600k and msi 1060 6gb oc with aorus z370 ultra gaming

JalYt_Justin · Oct 28, 2017

Im Big M :

You've already bought them? Cause if you've already bought them that changes everything.

Otherwise, I pulled back a bit on motherboard and CPU for a better GPU. GPU matters more than CPU for gaming, and while the 1060 6gb is fine for 1080p 60hz gaming, the 1070 will be better in the instance you decide to upgrade, and it will age better.

Like I said, if you haven't already bought stuff, the motherboard is a component that you can kinda cheap out on. None of the Z370 boards are bad, and you're only paying more for extra features that don't have much of a performance impact, if at all.

I already bought it, but i dont know what ram and psu and hdd + ssd to choose

This is what you'd ideally want, assuming you don't have a budget limit:

The first thing I'd go cheaper on is RAM. Then I'd cut back on storage. I'd say that PSU is as good as you're going to get for the price, and it's a good quality PSU.
