My final rig, need some advice on it

[power789]

My final rig, will purchase all from PCthemes this weekend. I was thinking that 1070 GPU is a little too expensive as compared to 1060. So decided to settle for a 1060.

Please advise if anything else that can be done better to get more value for $$$ and if this set up can meet the requirement. Don't mind paying more but hope to keep cost low.

Requirements: Wifi (I wont be using lan cables), gaming, streaming, video and photo editing. No need overclock.

MB and CPU
MSI H110i PRO AC + i7 6700 @585

RAMS
G.skill 2400Mhz 8GBx2 ($72) OR Kingston 2133Mhz 8GBx2 ($72) OR Crucial 2133Mhz 8GBx2 ($71) (Which is better and recommended for this set up and do they all have lifetime warranty?)

GPU
ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 1060 3GB single fan @319 (This comes with 5 yrs warranty? Which 1060 GPU is the most value for $$$? I really need advice because it seems like there are so many different 1060)

The rest
OCZ Trion 240GB @98
Toshiba 1TB @64
Superflower Ledex Sliver 550W @119
Tecware Alpha @69

Total: $1398

Thanks.

Everything not much issue IMO

As for RAM, as far as I remember Kingston have, not sure about the rest.

Zotac is a good choice if considering value, so just stick to it.

FYI: u have a lot of empty space for your case as your mobo is only a itx and even with the gpu also would look so filled up. (not saying u cant get such combinations, just telling u what u will see)

RAM: up to u, though G.skill is black PCB, which makes it kinda all black looks.

GPU: is only Zotac or palit that is the cheapest.

Wouldn't worry much about the RAM, all quite value. Would just get the one that goes best with the rig, assuming you have a side window. H110 chipset max speed is 2133MHz anyway.

Value-for-money is definitely there. Assuming you are getting OCZ Trion 150 (not the older 100), it has a rather slow random read speed compared to other SSD in the market, so I personally prefer Samsung. Nonetheless, it is still >40x faster than a hard drive so I wouldn't worry much.

All RAM should be lifetime IIRC.

Try to get discount from PCT if you getting all from there. If you want to save, then you have to source the parts online (Lazada, Qoo10) to maximise your savings.

Go for Zotac 1060 6gb Amp Edition instead of a 3gb one.

Agree, higher VRAM helps with better gaming performance

 

[power789]

Hmm, will the zotac 3gb be enuf to meet my requirements? Gaming, vid edit n photo edit...etc.

well i will said decent enough, unless the games and video and photo editing is heavy load den might snuggle some how.

I think you should get the 6GB variant for the GTX1060. But other than that, I think you are good to go!

Gaming: More than enough for e-sports (dota, lol, overwatch, etc). 3GB will limit performance of more graphics intensive titles (think witcher 3)

Photo editing: RAM more important. 8GB - 16 GB more than enough for normal use.

Video editing: More GDDR5 needed for faster rendering IIRC. Gaming GPU not optimised for video editing anyway, so the price increase probably won't justify the performance increase. If it's a once a month affair or less, I wouldn't spend that money.
