You've really payed a lot for that GPU... A lot over than what it should be.

 

[jDSX]

$400 for a 1060 wtf

 

[CallmeBerto]

GPU prices have been insane for awhile now. Anyways the build looks good to me.

yes but not to the point where a 1060 is £290... I can find one for £190

 

[migles]

why an optical drive?
but more importantly, why dvd burner and not a blue ray drive lol

nivdia has been selling them at msrp but sold out pretty fast, still you can get a 1070 for $400.

A few things to comment on

that case is beyond terrible, no cable management, and 80mm rear exhaust (what year is this?)

also you bought a freeysync monitor and yet purchased an nividia graphics card
Note: freesync only works on amd cards

I don't really know on the keyboard and mouse, looks like one of those no name brands so quality will be questionable, its also a membrane keyboard rather than mechanical

tks everyonw for reply. The thing with the monitor, was that i wanted 144hz, and that option was cheap.
gsync is way too expensive ☹

 

[ov3rkill]

That's enough except for the DVD drive. Unless you really need it. As for the casing, just make sure it has proper airflow - intake and exhaust fans.
Ditch the Wi-fi card if it's an option, use your gigabit LAN that's on your motherboard built-in. It's free. It's definitely better than any wifi.
You could ditch the DVD drive if you don't need it and get at least 2TB HDD or higher for games, pr0n, or whatever.

Agreed with everything here. Case is shit and you hella overpaid on the GPU. You'd honestly be better off returning the 1060 and buying something like a Vega 56 with that money, assuming prices are still that high for that. It'd perform better and be able to use the Freesync functionality in the monitor

GPU is not that overpriced. Dunno why people are coming in with US prices, when the op is in Europe.

€329 is not massivly overpriced for a 6GB 1060 in Europe. It's a little overpriced and can definitely do better on price, but it's not 1070/vega 56 money.

Oof, you're right. Prices must have jumped again, then

After the conversion, though, 329€ comes to almost $400. That's what we're all basing it on

 

[brunocar]

i think that you better hope that MOBO has the latest BIOS, your CPU is not gonna work otherwise, i just recently bought the exact same model and the people from the place i bought it were kind enough to ask if i wanted it updated, since i was buying a 2400g along side it

 

[MiguelinCrafter]

where the fuck?

 

[Kingy]

where the fuck?

Turns out- google was being a dumbass, but I did find one at a similar price.

Still a LOT cheaper. You possibly could find better if you looked further.

Prices are on their way down if anything.

$400 is just unrealistic in Eu. MSRP is $379 + 20% (typical tax). Already $454 and it's never a direct conversion. $500 minimum for decent 1070 in Europe.

Silly to base something being massivly overpriced on NA prices for someone based in Europe. It's overpriced a bit based on EU prices, same card can be had for £245 (€270), but it's not 1070 money in Europe. Never has been.

US seller. £15 postage and another £42 on top if customs grabs it + whatever blood money the courier wants for doing their job.

I bought the dvd-rw just do burn some ps2 backups for my nephews, just thinking about the little kids..

Some of you were right anout the box, i dont like the noise too much.
As for future upgrades, only RAM and i dont know what more. If gsync monitor prices drop a lot, i probably sell this one and buy a gsync. i just wanted a gaming machine for some good years and invested more on CPU and SSD, this is a nice SSD

I also didn't spend more 100$ on a x470 Motherboard. But i had to return the MB for a BIOS firmware. If it was ASUS motherboard, i could do the upgrade myself without CPU.
Oh my god, it was a headache afternoon in my house. Every thing turned on and no image. I reseted BIOS like 20 times. Then went online and realized i needed a BIOS upgrade. Afterall this is a FU###G recent CPU. Duuuuhhh…

Took MB too the shop, they did a BIOS update, went home with the MB in my hands, reassembled everything and voilat! No Boot screen on monitor

EDIT: This is not the RAM i wanted. What the hell is wrong with RAM? Why is everything out of stock? Is it still that chinese factory fire from some years ago?

Hm

I guess I will admit I didn't think that critically about the prices over here, I've only ever shopped for computer parts in the US

 

[ut2k4master]

you should get 2 sticks of ram instead of just one so they run in dual channel (faster)
