I am going to get new PC but I want to spent maximum of 800 pounds if possible. It will be mainly for gaming (CS:GO etc). Could you check this specification and if there is anything to change please feel free to make any suggestions.

I would appreciate that. Also please check if other components are good enough for this price limit.

There's a few that want changing. I'd get a different power supply and I don't see a solid state drive - you'll deffo want one of them, even if it's just a small one to put your operating system on. It's a must for all computers now, and will dramatically reduce boot up time.

Some good power supplies to look at are EVGA and SuperFlower, and you might save some money by getting one that's non-modular. I think you can get a superflower 550w for 50ish quid and it will be a far superior unit.

There's some great people on here who put some fantastic builds together for people, and they'll make the most of your budget.
 
Do I have to contact them ? or just wait till someone will read my thread

I have SSD from my old PC which I'll be using.


I also forgot to add that I am looking for strong CPU in this build. Therefore CPU is my priority and I thought that i5 6600k would be good enough for me.

Can spend a bit extra for an aftermarket/custom GTX 1060 6GB if possible, just for more 'memory-future proofness', performance will be about the same, especially if you clock that 970 to 1500Mhz (most reach close to that figure).

Well thank you. That PC build looks great. I will get one of this and I am willing to pay a bit more for this GPU. :)

You're welcome.

Re: case/fans - I'd move the single rear fan to the front as an intake, level with the video card, to aid cooling it, and mount the liquid cooler on the rear if possible, exhausting. If it doesn't fit there for some reason it'll fit in the top of the case. Up to you of course. :) You may even have some spare fans from your old PC.
