    No, completely unbalanced & H110 is a 4-year old platform.

    Make a new thread so we can help.

    It's also a 4 year old thread.

    Any i5's on the 110M platform now are obsolete and not worth getting at any price really. Ryzen 2600 or Intel 9400F is the way to go.

    I also wouldn't bother with a GTX1070 at €250 given that's a 2nd hand price presumably. Get a new 1660Ti for not much more and similar performance.

    Also the budget for the PSU is unnecessarily high. A decent €50 80+ 500w unit will be grand unless you plan adding a 2080Ti or Vega 7 at some point.

    You can get a new Zotac 1070 for €260 from Amazon at the minute, which is really good value for money.

    They must have sold out in the intern between my posting and you replying because it was there for at least 10 days.

    Was listed at £226 for prime subscribers.

    More then likely the new user josephotoole used the search feature to find a thread about a cheap gaming pc. This is the first one he saw and decided to post it in without knowing it was 4 years old.

    josephotoole if your still active make your own thread or pm me and i can help with your build :)
