THS Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Yeah double check you're not wasting money on the RAM if it can't even handle it, may get capped at 2133 mhz. Also, I'd get a beefier PSU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillerkidos1 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 how much it all cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Undefeated Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Why 7700k with a 1060? If you're only gonna game, you better go off with a 7600k, a cheaper cooler and invest in a better SSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniGuy Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'd recommend a 1070 over the 1060. I had a 1060 but it just wasn't enough so I had to upgrade to a 1070 and the difference is night and day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also already plan on getting a better SSD down the road, just not at the moment. 6 minutes ago, skillerkidos1 said: how much it all cost? Around 1.4k Pounds.

Alek Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Yeah the $56 SSD is kind of pointless, you're not getting great performance. You might as well just keep the HDD. I'd recommend getting a 256GB 960 EVO, which costs 2x as much but you're getting twice the storage and 6.4x the speed. Kingston A400 Specs: Max Seq Read: 500MBps Max Seq Write: 320MBps Samsung 960 Evo Specs: Max Seq Read: 3200 MBps Max Seq Write: 1500MBps Also the life of the 960 EVO is 50% more, 1.5M hours vs 1M hours. The 3000MHz is not supported on the i7 7700k, only 2133 MHz / 2400 MHz. Your motherboard maybe can support up to 4000MHz, but not your processor. Motherboard selection is okay, VRam is a bit high even with games that use ID's MegaTexturing - maybe align the price into some other performance aspect of graphics.
