Advice on new parts for gaming Pc

rachaell

Hello, I'm looking for some advice on what parts to get for my son's gaming pc.
He has the graphics card which is nvidia gtx 960 and the case which is Aero cool Aero 800.
He will be using the hard drive and ssd from old pc.
So I need to get the processer,motherboard, power supply and ram. I was looking at some bundles on amazon but I'm afraid I'll get the wrong one.. It will need to be able to handle the newest games but also not break the bank.
Thanks in advance

i5 6500
H110M motherboard
8gb DDR4 RAM
500w SeaSonic, XFX, BeQuiet, Corsair PSU
Total should be about 350 to 375, do you want links?

Thanks for reply. I think you helped me 5 or 6 years ago when I was getting the pc we have now!! I got it from that german (?) Site. It's still hanging in there. It was a great buy for the money..
I was looking at this bundle
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01ALTXEMK/ref=twister_B01CSVJXU6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

with the psu would it do any harm if I got a 600W? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CP-9020048-UK-Builder-Bronze-Supply/dp/B009RMP44O/ref=sr_1_11?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1481309556&sr=1-11&keywords=power+supply
Is that one ok and is the semi modular the best one to go for?

Both items in links are fine.

Psu is out of stock.

That bundle nah.. You'll can save money just getting the parts separately.

Get this i5 6600

This motherboard.

This ram https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01BIWLFGQ/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1

And it works out over 40 euro cheaper. Which you can put towards psu.

Slightly more expensive better psu. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00K8GH892/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1481370280&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=fsp+power+supply&dpPl=1&dpID=51bBtJ5dImL&ref=plSrch

Hi SA, I'm ordering this today, just have a few questions!! The ram you linked to is single ranked. Is it just one stick of ram or two? Do i need two? For that motherboard, you have to download a program before you can use Windows 7. Do you know if thats easy to do? He wants to build it himself, I'd say he'll be ok building it but don't know about the software side. Lastly I can't see the psu you linked can you link it again, please..

Hi K.O.Kiki, thx for the reply.

Corsair CP-9020102-UK CX Series CX550M,
Crucial 8 GB Single Ranked DDR4 ?.
what ram should I get 8GB single ranked or 8GB (2×4)

Single, lets you upgrade to 16gb in future by just adding a new stick

Do not buy Gigabyte H110M-S2H

Your lad's PC case has 2 fans, but that motherboard only has 1x fan header.

Also I do not recommend that PSU CX550M.
Gold rating > Bronze, and they're near enough the same price.

*edit*
To clarify, his entire computer is going to use ~280W peak.
By Jonnyguru, the SuperFlower is 90% efficient and so will use ~311W (again, max).

From reviews of CX650M [*1*, *2*] it appears that its efficiency at those loads is 84-88% - so if we average to 86%, I can calculate that it would use ~325W.

Yeah I just read the review on that site. I'm going to get it.
The fact there is only one review on the motherboard and it's bad is kind of putting me off, what about the MSI H110 gaming board it's £61.99?
sorry for all the question's..

That's a decent buy, has 2x fan connectors.

Looks really nice as well
