Pc Build
I was planning building a computer, with these specs: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/gkLHzM

I'm going to use this PC for 1080p gaming (Mostly Counterstrike at the moment) and everyday computing. Might do some streaming/video recording. Going to upgrade this in maybe a year or two.

Feedback and improvements are kindly welcome!

If price could be reduced by even more (maybe to $1200 CAD) that would be awesome.

Drop your ram back down to 8GB as adding 16GB could be an upgrade in the future if you really needed it.

16g of ram is ok on a new build
go with a cheaper cooler, 212evo will get a nice oc from the i5k
and cheaper mobo, any z170 board will work fine

get a better ssd, 240g intel, samsung, crucial or mushkin is about $15 more
and 2tb hdd is about the same price

gtx 960 is on the weak side for 1080p gaming
aim for gtx 970/1060+ or r9x 390/rx 480+

odd isnt needed anymore

same price much better all around

GTX 960 is weak for 144 hz monitor and 2 Gb VRAM is not good anymore for latest games, go with GTX 1060 instead, same performance as GTX 980. SSD is small and rubbish.

That build is way too expensive lol, I am building in Canadian currency, so $1200 CAD is about $950 USD. That might of been why the prices were off. I picked the 960 because I plan on upgrading in the nearer future (Id rather downgrade now and upgrade sooner than purchasing the best parts now and having them become obsolete in a few years). Same goes with the cpu; my first pick was the 6700k but I decided to go with the 6600k.

I did plan on getting the 212 EVO cooler, but a friend of mine recommended me to upgrade to the noctua if I would be overclocking. Unlike cpus and gpus, I think I can keep the cpu cooler and motherboard (unless i decide to get a new cpu that needs a different socket motherboard) for a lot longer without upgrading, which is why I picked a higher end one. Same goes with ram.

I only need the ssd for the OS and a few games that I usually play (or is there something I don't know?).

Games are getting bigger and bigger, 40-50 Gb is commonplace now. You would prob have some other everyday use programs as well.

If you really want just 120GB, this[ca.pcpartpicker.com] would be alright. I wouldn't recommend it, though-- games are really big these days.

Well, do you need the 1TB in HDD space then? If not, just get a larger SSD and skip the HDD.

Btw.: the 960 is really in a bad spot atm. A 1060 would be just a few bucks more, and be way better (around 980 level with more vram). Or used 970, or wait for 1050.

A higher quality PSU certainly wouldn't hurt either.

Well you can get the gtx 1060 that's much better for 1080p gaming you will have to sacrifice a little money to get some better parts also if you want it would do some more money but worth it a water cooler also suggestion to move to America for some time and buy parts here
最後修改者:Zireth; 2016 年 8 月 15 日 上午 11:30
Yup. Get a 1060
wolfsbong 2016 年 8 月 15 日 上午 11:37 
1060's are double the price of 960's here in Canada... I don't think I can fit that in.
Zireth 2016 年 8 月 15 日 上午 11:45 
I'm sure you can sack a bit more money otherwise you might want to wait a bit longer and save up a lot more
wolfsbong 2016 年 8 月 15 日 上午 11:47 
ok, new idea: I change to a 60hz monitor and put the extra cash into a 1060

EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2GB SuperSC ACX 2.0+ $269.00
EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GAMING V $339.99
Used GTX 970 ~$220-270
(prices in CAD)

+ a few bucks more for a decent PSU.

Could i.e. remove the DVD, go down a little with the mainboard (i assume you don't SLI), don't buy some random 1TB HDD, etc. etc...
