need help on gaming pc build (£800)

[melon210]

I would like you to help me build new gaming PC. My priority is strong CPU, whereas GPU does not have to be as good. I already selected my build but I am not sure if it is good enough for this price.

It would be good if the build would be good for future processor OC.

Feel free to change anything or change everything if it is necessary. So far I made something like this:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Zalman Z3 Midi-Tower - Black= £34.99
• 1 x Seagate 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache HDD - OEM (ST1000DM003)= £42.95
• 1 x OcUK 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM= £17.99
• 1 x be quiet! Pure Power 9 500W 80 Plus Silver Modular Power Supply= £68.99
• 1 x Intel Core i5-6600K 3.9GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail= £229.99
• 1 x MSI Z170-A Pro Intel Z170 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £94.99
• 1 x Asus GeForce GTX 960 DirectCU2 OC Strix 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £161.99
• 1 x ThermalTake Riing Silent 12 Red CPU Cooler= £39.95
• 1 x Team Group Elite 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C16 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (TPKD48GM2400HC16DC0= £37.99

Total: £742.43
(includes shipping: £12.60)

I just posted in your other thread: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=29868596&postcount=6

P.S. You want to make sure any DVD writer you get these days is M Disc compatible.

I felt like I have made my previous thread in wrong section.

There's some crossover between the General Hardware and OcUK Full Systems & Bundles forums, but the latter (this one) is usually for advice on pre-built systems or bundles, or if you are looking for OcUK to build you a spec you put together (for that you would probably still need to post in the Customer Service forum anyway, if you don't receive a reply from staff in this forum).

General Hardware is where people tend to ask for specs among other things. So your original post was made in the usual forum for that.

No SSD ?...and why bother with that GPU when you could get at least a 1060
