New rig setup... comments please :)

[The_Dark]

Hello guys,

It's been a while since i checkout hardware, am building a complete new rig since like 7 years ago.

Budget is probably 1.8k ish, minus all peripherals like monitor, mouse etc.
Current components i am looking to get:

Asus H110M A/M.2 + i5 6500 - $405
Samsung 850 Evo 500 GB - $229
WD blue 1TB - $72
Kingston 2133Mhz DDR4 (2*8GB) - $150
Palit GTX 1060 3GB - $315

Still deciding on power supply, casing (suggestions welcomed!)

Any comments on those parts? And if i have a couple of hundred bucks buffer to upgrade the components, which do you think will have priority?

Planning to get parts from fuwell or pc themes. They still provide assembling service for a fee right?

Thanks!

What do you intend to do with this rig, and what you wanna achieve? Lastly do you see asthetics as an important factor?

Upgrading to gtx 1070 will probably offer biggest performance improvement

Oops, forgot to include that. Most likely just for some gaming like cs go, battlefields? And aesthetics not important.

You can get whatever you have mentioned, but if you intend to game intensively and most AAA title games, then get the Palit GTX 1070 instead. Its going for $555.

As for PSU, go for 500w-550w will do. Casing is a very personal choice that you may wanna choose yourself. What we like may not be what you like.

I love Lian Li PC-O11. But you may not, and lastly the price of it may not be what you are looking for. So head down to SLS and take a good look. There are a few casing out there on the shelves of each stores. See and do research on what you like.

Superflower leadex gold 550w psu

Casing up to you. Personal recommendation is stuff from fractal design or corsair. If want bang for the buck, tecware f3.

Upgrade to gtx 1070 as what royfrosty bro suggested.

Thanks guys! I think i will go for the tecware f3, but just saw that it's a micro atx casing, my Asus H110M A/M.2 mobo can fit into that casing right?

H110M-A/M.2:
Full-featured micro-ATX (mATX) H110 with 5X Protection II for dependable stability, DDR4 support and M.2 connectivity.


just fyi, micro atx cases are quite challenging to build in, im using cosair carbide spec m2, bought that coz can fit 240mm radiator and plenty of fans, but knn the cable management inside is really tight, today just removed the HDD cage and shifted my HDD and SSD elsewhere, the cables are really really really tight

For your case, better buy 750d or phanteks primo
