Power supply get Cooler Master brand.

I've had a Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1000 in one of my rigs. Had it for 6 years, still running solid and without coil whine.

CPU Cooler just get a Xigmatek Dark Knight II, easily oc Intel i7 to 4.5Ghz. Available at Cybermind and maybe elsewhere.

Mobos as usual, the big three. Asus, Giga or MSI.

CPU try get i7, as AMD Zen with 8 threads gonna come in hot in 2017. The future is 8 threads and more.

Problem is where are you going to get the RX480 4GB now? Shortage is everywhere. And Amazon is non-existent.

Instead of Dell's S2316H. Why dont consider Dell's SE2417HG at $169?
Then the $60 surplus can channel to Palit GTX 1060 at $445?

well if u are playing overwatch both of them is fine, but if u are going for more on dx12 titles rx 480 will be good to go with, but if u are going for more on dx11 games den go with GTX 1060.

Rx 480. Should be out pretty soon, but RX 470 might have to wait for a longer while. Which is about the same waiting time as RX 480.
