Opinion on first build part list

Ash_

Hi guys, I've been thinking of replacing my 7/8 years old (of the shelf) PC for quiet some time. Finally decided to start the project considering Black Friday/Cyber Monday are getting near. I would like to create a list of parts ready for the sale. The system will be used for internet (Full HD streaming), programming (visual studio, android studio with emulator) and gaming. I currently use PS4 for gaming and I'm trying to get back into PC gaming. So ideally I would like the system to be capable of 60fps on high/ultra settings on my 1080p monitor. My initial budget was €1000, but after putting together parts list, it came around €1100, which is alright. So the revised budget is €1000 - 1100, but hopefully I can get some bargains in the upcoming sale. I can reuse my current 500 GB HDD drive, mouse, keyboard and monitor (Dell U2414H). Also I don't need a OS yet.

After some research, I've put together a list of parts that I need. The parts that I'm not sure about are Motherboard and Video card. Rest of the parts looks solid to me but I would like to get opinions of more experienced heads over here.

Cheers

Very Solid. I'd go for a nice 1080p 144hz monitor to go with that.

Nothing wrong with it, but do you plan overclocking? If not, you can save a good bit of money by getting a non-K processor and a more basic motherboard. PSU is also overkill, the whole system would only draw about 250w under load. A decent 450w+ is fine and would still give you tons of headroom for overclocking and future upgrades.

I intend to overclock depending on the requirements. And I was going for standard 550w PSU, but saw there was only about 10€ difference with 650w, that's why I choose it. Anyways, I'll keep in mind before ordering. Cheers

Amazon have a good deal on this version of the MSI GTX 1060 have bought it myself. Better than stock and £50 cheaper. Sorry for long link on mobile.

I'd move some things around and get a 1070.

1070 is overkill really unless you're going 4k. For 1080p the 1060 is perfect and costs an awful lot less

It's not overkill if you're going for 1080p/144Hz

I can just about average 140fps in Overwatch with most settings on High.

I'd say more 1440p. Your point still stands. I'd just be more inclined to not pay 1100 euro just to aim for 1080p.

Nothing wrong with your parts. They're all solid. Just something to consider. If you're planning a black Friday /cyber Monday raid. don't get too set on exact parts.

Overclocked 6600K + rest of system would be around 320W, so 450-500W is alright.

Also obligatory
BLACK FRIDAY IS ACTUALLY NEXT MONTH,sorry

You probably could stretch to a 1070 if you plan on going 1440p/144hz instead of 1080p/144hz down the line. Big jump in the price for those monitors though but it's worth it if you want a bigger monitor. 27" 1440p/144hz is the sweet spot at the moment. Perfect mix of resolution, pixels per inch and refresh rate that's actually obtainable on a single high end card.
