Hello everyone! So, I just made a PC build whose parts I will order soon if everything goes OK. My question is, is this build worth the cost? If not, why? Feel free to edit the build and add (with an explanation why) other, cheaper parts that are close in performance. The parts I will be purchasing are in Germany where they are currently in stock. The price of all the parts is 1024 EUR which is about 1239.30 USD, so ignore the prices in the list. P.S. If it matters, I plan on using a 1650x1080 Samsung SyncMaster 206BW monitor with the build.

Looks like a solid build to me, only thing I would change would be the graphics card to a GTX 1060 6 GB. Less power hungry and less driver issues and runs cooler.

I'm running a GTX 1080 in my main machine and a RX 580 + RX 550 in my mining rig. The RX cards have faaaaaar better drivers than the GTX 1080.
Have you updated to Adrenalin?
 


Yeah.
