Hey all!
I'm about to start my first PC build! I've been a laptop PC gamer for awhile due to living circumstances, but now I can put my over price underpowered toy aside and upgrade to the real deal. Before I start actually buying the parts I wanted to check with you all about what I've selected and also see if I could get a few questions answered. So first up my build:
CPU: i5-6600k
Heat sink: CRYORIG H7 Tower Cooler
MB: ASUS Z170-A
GPU: gtx 1070. (Looks to good to pass up!!!)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz (PC4-24000
Primary HD: SanDisk Ultra II 240GB SATA III
Secondary HD: WD Black 1TB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA
Power: EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 80+ GOLD, 750W
Case: NZXT S340 Mid Tower Case CA-S340W-B1
OS: Windows 10 Pro
Monitor: ASUS VG248QE 24-inch
All togeather the budget is roughly $1700, that includes monitor and a new copy of Windows 10 pro.
So my questions:
1) Does everything look good? Being my first build I just want to make sure I'm on the right track.
2) Do you think the cooling tower is sufficient for light overclocking? And the 750w power supply?
3) I'm really struggling with what monitor to go with... The one I'm showing is an TN but I like the response time and the 144mhz, I'm thinking with a 1070 the 144mhz would be worth having. But any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks all for any input you can give!!
