I'm in the middle of building my first gaming pc. It's kinda entry level, so I wanted an expert's take on whether my pieces are good or if I should choose something better. Here's a rundown of what I'm getting;
CPU: Intel Core i5-8400 6 Cores 2.8-4Ghz ($178.99)
GPU: Gigabyte Geforce GTX-1060 w/ Windforce OC Cooler 3GB ($258.49)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H110M-A LGA1151 Intel H110 Micro ATX DDR4 Motherboard ($44.99)
RAM: Micron Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Single DDR4 2666 MT/s ($82.88)
HDD: Western Digital 1TB Sata 6 GB/s 7200 RPM ($44.00)
Power Supply: Apevia ATX-BT550W Beast 550W ATX Gaming Power supply ($31.99)
Case: Cooler Master Masterbox Lite 3.1 mATX case ($48.86)
Software: Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64 bit ($100.99)
Monitor: Sceptre 27" Curved 75Hz LED Monitor HD 1080p Ultra Thin ($159.97)
Peripherals: MSI Redragon Mouse, Backlit Keyboard, Mousepad & Headset combo ($39.99)
Total: $997.14
Right off the bat, I'm not sure about my power supply or motherboard. For a mATX ddr4 motherboard to only be about $50, I'm kinda scratching my head. The power supply says it is ATX, but will it fit with my mATX build? I don't think a power supply needs to be exactly compatible just to fit. I don't know, I'm probably wrong.
I just plan on playing Overwatch and Fortnite, as well as R6 or CS:GO
