My First PC Build... Comments? Suggestions?

[Jack Dulmage]

Hey guys, below is a link to my first build, i'm trying to get it as cheap as possible as i am a student. Trying to stay below $1800 CAN by deal shopping etc. I have already purchased the CPU but thats it. Anyone have any suggestions for parts that will cheaper or as good? Or if something i am looking at is crap?

Anything helps,

Thanks!

I would've gone for a Ryzen R5 1600 or a coffee Lake i5 instead of the 7600K. The 7600K is on a dead platform now (meaning you won't be able to upgrade to a newer generation CPU), and an increasing amount of games are using more than 4 cores and 4 threads.

Seeing as you've already purchased the CPU though - https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/Rng4KZ

• Picked a better CPU cooler
• Cheaper motherboard
• Cheaper SSD
• Cheaper model 1070
• Upgraded the PSU

If you're able to though, I'd recommend returning the CPU and buying either a Ryzen R5 1600 or an i5 8600K instead.

The i5 was so cheap because of it though... i was able to get it for under 230 on black friday...
Thank you for the suggestions though! super helpful... ive been mostly going off high rated products as i am pretty new to the Computer scene... researching my ass of though!
