    Hello guys I would like your input on this build

    Intel Core i5 7600K 4x 3.80GHz So.1151 € 238,95*

    MSI B250M PRO­VDH Intel B250 So.1151 Dual Channel DDR mATX Retail € 74,01*

    EKL Alpenföhn Brocken ECO Tower Kühler € 30,85*

    16GB HyperX FURY Rev.2 schwarz DDR4­2133 DIMM CL14 Dual Kit € 121,85*

    6GB Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming G1 Aktiv PCIe 3.0 x16 (Retail) € 299,93*

    256GB Samsung SM961 M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 32Gb/s 3D­NAND MLC Toggle € 131,74*

    1000GB Seagate Desktop HDD ST1000DM003 32MB 3.5" (8.9cm) SATA 6Gb/s € 47,81*

    550 Watt Corsair RMx Series RM550x Modular 80+ Gold € 89,85* € 79,85*

    Total: € 1.114,84
    including shipping about € 1200


    The purpose of the build is gaming but future proofing as well. I would use it with my 24inch 1080p screen but in the future upgrading to 4k screen. I am thinking of going with dual monitor setup but it is not necessary.
    The monitor I own is BENQ GW2406Z
    If I was to go with dual monitors my budget would be at around 1400 that should include shipping.

    yeah that is the old thread I made and this one has new components and the budget has been raised

    The questions I have about this one is should I go with Nvidia 1060 or go for a RX480?
    And since it has been a long time from my last pc build did I pick correct components?

    At this point I would definitely wait for Ryzen to be released, it's only a few weeks and it's going to a) likely be much better value than Intel and b) even if you prefer to stay Intel, prices will likely drop to meet Ryzen.

    I'd personally take the 8GB RX480 over the 6GB GTX1060.

    RX480 performs at the same level of GTX1060 for €40-60 less.

    If you go i5-7xx0K you want a Z270 motherboard for overclocking in the future.
    No game NEEDS 16Gb so you can drop to a 2x4Gb set and wait for RAM prices to drop.
