Rate my budget gaming PC!

Hey folks,

I've put together a budget gaming PC for the combined price of 939,60 Euro. Here are the details:

The parts.
Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-01
400 Watt Xilence XP400R6 (80+)
Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2V
Intel Core i5 7600K 4x 3.8GHz
Alpenföhn Sella (Cooler)
8GB DDR4 PC-3000
Nvidia GeForce GTX1060 6144MB
240GB SATA-III SSD
1000GB SATA-III 7200rpm 32MB Cache

I'm not sure if I have a bargain or if I did a terrible job.
Can someone rate my choices?
My concerns:
1) Would this computer run a game like "Rise of the Tomb Raider" without any problems?
2) Do you think there are better alternatives for one or several of the parts that I chose?
Thank you all in advance!

philipplagrande :

It's decent for the price. I'd rate that 9/10 as a budget gaming PC. As it's a gaming PC I'd have more hard drive space ready. 1TB would fill fairly fast nowerdays. What about Windows 10 and Office?

Your concerns:

1) Yes it would run it without any problems on max settings at 1080p. Higher than 1080p though and it will start to struggle on max settings. By struggle I mean risk seeing frames below 30fps.

2) I would personally go for the cheaper 3GB 1060 version and then wait a couple of years to upgrade the GPU when the next generation will be out (the successors to the 10 series). Hopefully by this time the whole inflation caused by crypto currency mining would have died down a bit too and one can pick up an even more powerful card than this, at a better price. A 1060 3GB will allow the gamer to play any game at 1080p on at least medium settings, and in most cases ultra, during this period of crazy GPU prices (due to miners) long enough before they should upgrade.
