Re: Need some advice on a build
I don't know much about builds but I have found the build a pc sales on reddit to be really helpful for finding good sales and saving money. Once you get your build lined up I might watch it for the next month and see what you can get! Been really helpful for upgrading my PC!

Might want to see if you can get measurements in a local store on that motherboard/case combo... the chips located near the top case side of the mobo are close to the motherboard edge, and stick up a ways.. if there's not a large amount of space between the top of the case and the motherboard, you could have difficulties with placement of your AIO cooler ( having run into that myself I mention it as worth looking at) ifyou mount it on the top mounting location.. nbd though if you place it in the front however I suppose

Since you can find a 1060 for as low as $159 if you watch daily deals at places like Fry's Electronics and Newegg there really isn't an excuse for not using a 10xx series card in a new build.
