Hello... my rig i7 2600 just blow up a week ago @__@ maybe because I bought low end power supply :(... well not gonna make another mistake so... wanna ask at the nice forum >.<

Please tell me if some my build is wrong..

Proc : i7 6700k
Motherboard : ga z170x gaming 7 gigabyte
Memory : Corsair 3200mhz 32gb (16gbx2) (the gskill price in my country is too high)
PSU : I don't know yet... (my budget can only buy the Corsair RMi 850w maximum, seasonic price at my country is too high)
HDD : 2tb black WD 7200, 1tb barracuda Seagate 7200, ssd 850evo 500gb
GPU : GTX 1070 founder (bought it because its cheaper than custom one in my country)
optical drive : standard dvdrw
case : Corsair 600q
cpu cooler : noctua nh d-15 (I'm afraid of water cooling...)

uhm... I still confuse about power and is it nessecary to use gaming 7(I like it because it said have an iron at pcie slot)
Need advice >.<
Newbie builder here (my first build of my own)

Thank you

Hello there!
The gaming 7 motherboard is somewhat a bit overkill if you don't need all those features you can get the gaming 5 board from Gigabyte it has the iron pcie slot and you will be great!

Also, 850watts for your system is overkill unless you plan putting 3 1070s in there and you might still have headroom.

Do you want a great power supply? See if you can get a corsair RM450i it should be just enough for your system. Want a power supply with a lot of headroom? Go for the Superflower LEADEX 650w

Hello thanks for the answer >.<
does the audio creative quadcore one not worth for 15$? and the backpanel sound has gold somekind of gold... is it not important?

uhm 450w? is that okay? even if I overclock? :O superflower brand doesn't exist at my country too :( (Indonesia)...

I'm just edited my rig... added noctua nh d-15... do the 450w still can do it?

EVGA has superflower make their power supplies see if you can find these in the market. Other good power supply brands is Fractal Desing, NZXT, bitfenix, coolermaster -Not all of their PSUs though-


As for the audio, are you planning to use mid-high end headphones or speakers?

The headphones are usb so they have a sound card built in.
The logitech speakers also have a sound card built in, just connect them with the digital optical audio out port of the motherboard the rest will be handled by the speakers themselves. Now if you aren't happy you can always buy a sound card down the line.
