Need Suggestions/Improvements on my 60k Gaming Rig

Y

Hi Guys,

This is my first post, so please bear with me. I am researching for config of my 1st Gaming Rig from past few weeks. I have finalized to below build. I have some good contacts in lamington road, mumbai, i have mentioned their pricing below.

Please suggest any improvements before i go ahead with the build:
Processor:
Intel i5 6500 (6th Gen) => INR 13,800

Motherboard:
Gigabyte H170M-D3H (DDR4) => INR 9450

RAM:
Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GBx1=> INR 3700

HDD:
Seagate Baracuda 1 TB 7200RPM => INR 3400

PSU/Smps:
Corsair VS 550w => INR 2850

Cabinet:
Cooler Master Force 500=> INR 2950

Monitor:
Dell S2216H Full HD 5ms=> INR 8550

Graphic Card:
Asus Nvdia Geforce GTX 960=> INR 14700

Total => INR 59,400

Ps. I will add ssd & additional ram stick for dual channel after sometime. Budget issues

. Strangely 4gb ddr4s are not available in market yet.

Regards,
Ycaster

No proper information online for skylake build.. i selected it coz it was the cheapest one i found on amazon with ddr4 support. I have no clue if it is missing something.

there is one more option -
MSI Global

and board is not missing anything.

Thank You for the reply.

Quick questions:
1. Is there any difference between Gigabyte H170M-D3H & MSI H170A PC Mate OR is MSI better brand than Gigabyte?
2. Is every Asus GTX strix 960 by default OC? or this mentioned one is specific model?

I am choosing Seagate over WD because i had positive service experience in past with Seagate. I frankly dunno much about WD as a brand.

Thank You for cabinet suggestions, i loved it & for RAM even i am looking for Corsair from offline first, if not i ll order it online

Ycaster

WD is a reliable name in HDD

If you are serious then change the PSU

Hi,

Actually this psu is on higher end, i was being told on net by few others that a quality 500-550W psu is enough for my build, or is it otherwise?

yes its fine.
about motherboard, look on their website for ports etc. go with any you want.
strix is default oc afaik.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but doesn't 6500 need an extra cooler?
Intel doesn't provide a stock cpu cooler..

My bad.
It's only the 6600k that doesn't have a cooler.

Corsair VS series isn't suited for gaming rigs.

Can you pls tell from where you are getting GTX 960 at 14.7k ? Can I also buy from there if possible?

Shop Name : My IT World,

they quote less for when you are buying entire system. For individual products, pricing might change.

Don't get that. Get Seasonic S12II Bronze 520 or Seasonic S12G 550 or Antec Truepower Classic 550 whichever is available.

That specific antec model is not available in my country n Seasonic has poor service here compared to other brands.

Go for 2 4gb ram sticks for dual channel, it's more advisable, or are you planning to get another 8gb in the near future?

Thanks for this suggestion

I hope people are asking for Seasonic and Antec models in stores otherwise they will consider that Indians don't want these quality PSUs and are satisfied with overpriced lower quality PSUs.
