December/January PC Build

[NickInternational]

I'm just looking for opinions on my up and coming build

FYI I will only be paying around $750-$800 for the parts, not how much it shows on part picker.

Consider a GTX 1060 versus the 1050ti.

+ drkatz42. For your budget and if your main concern is gaming: GTX1060 6GB or RX480 8GB.
Or at least a RX480 4GB.
By all means the i5-6600K is great.
but a i5-6500/stock cpu cooler/B150 motherboard/RX480 8GB will be a stronger build 95% of the time.

I'm planning on OCing the cpu and gpu, only k series cpus are unlocked for OCing. As for the gpu, the 1060 is $50-$100 more than a 1050ti depending on vram and model.

No problem

As long as your main concern is overclocking you will indeed have a lot of fun with your present build.
Though even after you overclock the i5-6500/RX480 8GB cheaper build would still be stronger most of times.
But you will have at least one advantage: next gpu upgrade your oced cpu will keep up.

Anyway if your main concern is overclocking stay away from the NZXT HALE82 PSU

You could get the plain EVGA 600B 600W 80 Plus Bronze for 50 bucks. Good deal.

My money? Anyone of those: $80 EVGA 650 GQ; $80 SeaSonic SSR-650RM 650W; $95 EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2.
