How does this Computer part list look

[caluton]

So I am working on my first custom pc gaming computer. So I would like to know what you guys think of it. I also need to make sure everything will work with each other.

What is this PC for? If it's for gaming, you need to spend way less on the cpu and way more on the video card. The psu is also not very good. A similarly priced air cooler would be better than that water cooler.

Yes it is for gaming. So would a i5 be better

Or an I3 even.

This is WAY better for $120 cheaper.

What kind of monitor will you be using? You could probably afford a GTX1070, but it may not be necessary depending on your monitor.

 

[CTurbo]

If you just REALLY feel like you need to overclock, and don't need a GTX1070, you could get this. Don't expect overclocking to help out much if at all though.

OK, so I re-did my part list a bit. Let me know what you think now. Also do you know of any other case that may be cheaper with LEDS?

All EVGA psus with NEX in the name are unreliable. The EVGA G2 in my partslist is much MUCH better. 550w is more than enough. I would pay the extra $5 for the DDR4-3000 RAM in my build too. The rest of your build is good.

 

[caluton]

Oh, I see and what makes AVGA Unreliable. I will change my ram, to that one.

 

[CTurbo]

Some EVGA models are good, some are not. It's a simple as that.

Oh ok, do you know of a motherboard that I could use to replace the one on my list without changing the other parts. I am having a hard time finding anyone that has it in stock and I am ordering my parts today.

 

[CTurbo]

Asus z170 pro
MSI z170 m5
Gigabyte z170 gaming 5

For the Gigabyte z170. I see two on amazon. a $135 and a $155. I not sure on the one I should get

[CTurbo]

The gaming 5 is better than the gaming 3 but the difference is not huge.

So I am on amazon trying to order the graphics card. What one is the right one, I have no clue ^^

[CTurbo]

I would get the Gigabyte 6GB 1060 Windforce off of newegg.com

The problem is they are backordered and it does not say when they are getting any in.
