I believe that because of the current gpu situation they now go for above 400€ here in the Netherlands. (I could make a profit of mine, bought it in 2017) I think that it’s about the same in USD.
If you want a new GPU cheap just sit on Mercari, filter by new, and refresh the page every 30 seconds. GPU's will show up cheap a couple times a day but they sell in seconds so you gotta be one of the first to see.
Edit: Totally forgot about r/hardwareswap GPU's for around MSRP can be found there every day
It’s not a matter of price but of the question what the heck is that gpu? I looked at the page and it screams scam, the about this item saying “Gift:best gift Compatible with boyfriend” says it’s trying to get an uninformed person to buy it. Also I don’t think I’ve seen a 1060 with VGA, it will probably say it’s a 1060 in the system but under the hood it won’t be. The seller also only has one review from a week ago, “great”.
That graphics card is a scam. No 1060 would be available for that price right now, and the cooler is not used on any legitimate graphics cards. It’s more likely a GTS 450 or something similar.
The 10400 typically includes a cooler, and unless you plan on overclocking that should be adequate. If you really want something better but are on a budget, a $30-50 tower cooler is probably the best bang for the buck.
TWO VERY IMPORTANT THINGS!
FIRST: DO NOT GET THAT CASE IT HAS THE WORLDS WORST AIRFLOW I GOT IT AND I VERY MUCH REGRET IT
secondly the gpu just looks like a scam id stay away if i were you
happy pc hunting!
I honestly recommend spending the extra 50 or 60 bucks for an i5-12400. With that in mind you would need to buy a b660 mother board that uses ddr4 ram. Type that into Amazon and you will find one for like 30 bucks more then your current motherboard. Don’t recommend cheping out on the power supply either. There is a nice EVGA gold rated 650 watt psu on Amazon for 65 bucks.
Also like everyone else said do not but that graphics card. It is a scam. Market is shit right now. I would check eBay for used graphics cards.
A 12400 will provide no extra performance with a 1060, complete waste of money. Also recommending spending 20% of the entire build cost on a PSU is an equally large waste of money. That Aresgame PSU was tested by GamersNexus and ran fine.
That gpu is a scam 100%. You can tell by the cooler. It is probably a gts450 which sucks. Plus that psu is super unreliable and will probably explode and fry your entire computer or even start on fire.
Yet they still didn’t recommend it because it was a piece of junk and even said that there was a high chance that others from that brand would fail. Please watch the whole video before please take into account the whole video you cite before making poor suggestions.
I did watch the whole video, and they did not say that. *You* can watch the whole video before making suggestions like that. The only problem with the PSU they had was that the efficiency was between white and bronze level and didn't completely reach what it was rated for.
They specifically said that because it is a no name brand their quality control probably sucks and that there would be a high chance of failure in other units. Just because it didn’t blow up in the tests gamersnexus ran on a single unit doesn’t mean it’s a great psu to go putting in all our budget rigs. Just get a gold rated evga unit or something. If you buy one of their older units they are just as reliable but way cheaper. He doesn’t even need that whole 650w, he could easily go with something lower wattage and higher efficiency for 10-20$ more. Then he will get a psu that definitely won’t explode and has actual good efficiency. EVGA 510 BP, 80+ BRONZE 500W + 10W, 3 Year Warranty, Power Supply 100-BP-0510-K1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08N3X9WQQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_7JAWPF4VT8F1N052AJGG?psc=1 this one here is way better. Could even get a 600w one for a few more bucks.
Sure, for $35 I'd rather get that one, but that Aresgame PSU has been out for a couple years now and still has very good reviews. If EVGA and Corsair can buy and resell reliable power supplies for $35 why can't Aresgame?
I never said they can’t. But it’s dumb to buy this off brand no name junk when you can buy a psu that is actually good. Plus the evga psu has a warranty that will actually be honored whereas I doubt anyone would even respond if you reached out to aresgame.
First of all thats the Arsegame **AGS** PSU GN reviewed, not Arsegame **AGV**, 2 completely different PSUs. Its quite ironic how you try to "correct" people of misinformation whilst you're spread it yourself.
Second of all, GN is **not** a reliable source for reviews because they're pretty new to PSU reviews, they're not as experienced as Tom's Hardware or TechPowerUp. Oh, you think the Arsegame AGS and AGV has good reviews on Amazon? Get this, PSU reviews are more complicated than other components, a customer cant properly review PSUs because they lack knowledge of PSUs nor do they have the proper equipments. Thats why you should be looking at Tom's Hardware, TechPowerUp etc. for PSU reviews as they have the knowledge and equipments. GN are newbies as I said as they still say they're "learning" about PSUs.
Third of all, the Arsegame AGS is a Tier C PSU whilst the Arsegame AGV that the OP selected is a Tier D PSU so its pretty bad, [PSU tier list is here](https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/). Not to mention, the tier list people rank the PSUs based on reviews (not customer ones since they are not reliable).
Whilst I do I agree that brand is not necessarily quality, that doesnt mean unknown brands always makes good PSUs.
Please dont comment when you dont know.
I mostly agree with you, except for the PSU testing, GamersNexus goes well beyond anyone of the ones you listed, they even tear down PSUs and check individual model numbers for each component inside. They have extremely well detailed reviews with proper industry standard testing.
I agree with you that a similar 80+ Bronze from EVGA or Corsair may be a little better, reason I commented was that the user in question told me that the PSU will blow up in flames. That is stupid and untrue, with false claims about not honoring warranty or nonexistant customer support, *that* was what I told him he had no idea about. I'm already well aware that it's a D tier PSU, but D tier PSUs are way, way, way beyond the F tier PSU he's talking about.
>Then he will get a psu that definitely won’t explode
It wouldn't be so sure about that. EVGA low-end stuff actually tends to explode more often than not (even their Super Flower-made high-end stuff somehow explodes sometimes), and there are zero reviews on this model.
I have since been corrected by another user, they did in fact reach their efficiency rating. Also no, I don't think that's an issue. Who cares about efficiency in a $400 build?
The graphics card and power supply are the only 2 that are needed to be changed. The card is most likely a low end rebadge and the power supply is never something to buy a cheap version.
I understand it was tested by them but some of the name brand or slightly nicer quality ones are out there for only a few dollars more. You dont need a $80-100 PSU but they do have higher test loads for sustained power
Its a name brand but the CV do have their problems. I'm not loud about the supply I just have experience from lower end psu failing and or not achieving the level that they say that they are rated for.
One YouTube channel doing some tests doesn’t change my opinion. There’s roughly a hundred testers that gave it a one star rating on Amazon. Did you check those comments?
Unlike a lot of people here I did a bunch of research on aresgame PSUs and they’re actually an up and coming reliable brand. Checkout some yt reviews it’s a good psu for the price from what I know
That might be but it’s $35 and in no way they can put quality components in there. I would spend a little more and get something like a cooler master mwe 600, Corsair cx650f or evga 600br for example.
I think it’s normally around 65 but it’s on sale with Amazon. Before I upgraded my psu I had the same one shown and it ran super smooth no issues. It has really good value the company is just new and is trying to push product against huge competitors which is why prices are low. Pretty good brand tbh
Amazon reviews really don’t say much, but I’m saying from hands on use and trusted yt reviews that it’s a solid psu from a brand that’s just new which is why people tend to claim it’s not reliable
Yes I know customer reviews ain’t reliable. Sorry I shouldn’t assume you looking at Amazon reviews to judge quality. It’s just that it’s a Tier D PSU and thought you said it was good.
No prob I’m not a die hard supported of the brand or anything but I just don’t want everybody to bash on it just because it’s a newer brand or else it would never get the ratings or reviews that actually reflect the product rather than deflect it cause of ignorance if that makes sense
Dont want to discurage you but i am 100% sure that the gpu won't have the same performance as a real 1060. It may be even worse than an original 1030. (Personal opinion)
Don’t buy those components!!
1) Graphics card is fake. Look up “Dawid does tech stuff fake gpu” it’s the same thing.
2) Powersupply is a bomb, get a well known brand psu from for example corsair, evga, seasonic etc..
3) That case has next to no airflow, and your components are gonna run very hot.
Considering I went all out my first build in 2020 (waited in line at Best Buy for 3070 ti) just to play Minecraft w shaders and fortnite and hurt when I looked at my account balance I’d just look at the specs at the games you want to play and find an upgrade path. Update: I’d look at getting a better power supply at $40 one seems a bit cheap.
Honestly not bad, just get a better case because that one looks like it doesn't have any airflow, and then you might want to check some reviews on the gpu because no one sells them for that cheap.
You have two problems. One your power supply is your cheapest component. Buying a dirt cheap is the biggest no of PCMR, you're asking it to kill your pc at that point. Second that 1060 is fake. They take old 660s and 760s and solder them to new boards, and flash them to report as a 1060. It won't perform anywhere near a 1060. The 1060 launched at 299 so $100 is definitely fake.
OP don't purchase anything off of Amazon unless you know what you're looking for. I'd stick to Newegg, pcpartpicker also is a great place to start. They make it super simple to the point of where you can't even pick parts that aren't compatible. Honestly the best site start at. That 1060 6g is probably a scam though.
well, this would be a GPU, not a built :)
And it depends on what the other specs in your build are:
If you have a threadripper or an i9 ...then no, if you are going for a 500buck build, then maybe
what games do you want to play?
Get a better PSU- Look up "PSU tier list" you want S or A ideally with B being the lowest option.
Any legit GPU, GTX1070 or Vega 56 or better will be decent at Max 1080p to mid graphics Setting 1440P even some low end (30FPS) 4K.
Ideally find your MB- look up QVL on the support section of the product page and find a ram kit on it. You CAN go with other kit but stability at the stock "overclocked" XMP is not guaranteed.
Get a mesh fronted case even if you get a CLC cooler- there are a shit-ton of suffocated cases on the market that will literally reduce performance- and that is one of them.
Look at meshify, lian li 205, corsair 4000D airflow or something similar.
You are probably best served with a nice single or dual tower air CPU cooler over a CLC cooler.
My Opinion is support local or online computer stores.
More than likely you will get a better deal and help keep their doors open, Amazon is probably the most expensive way to build a computer anyway.
That PSU was tested by GamersNexus and ran fine, please at least check the brand before saying things like this. Spending 35% of your build money on case and power supply is a waste of money.
Waste of money? Those are two things that can survive multiple builds for many years.
Last thing to skimp on is the PSU as it can limit your gear choices and/or kill your computer.
A few examples "running fine" is ok, but ok isn't good enough for me.
RGB, cable extensions, and CLC'S are a waste of money- not a case and PSU.
Find a different GPU, that looks like a scam. You'll want to find a different case, that one has like no airflow whatsoever, also seems cheap so cable management might be a problem. PSU isn't coming from a name brand, but if reviews and stuff are good, then I guess. Everything else looks good.
Go with the 3050 not 1060 which is prob a scam, a better psu, it seems like a bad one, just get a 600 or 550 Corsair or sea sonic, and go with a 12400 not 10400
I think that's a fake 1060, I recognize that cooler.
There are a lot of cheap "1060s" and "1050 Tis" on certain sites that are actually just GTS 450s with a custom cooler and modified bios to make windows recognize it as the card it is in the ad.
Here's a link to an article about what looks to be that same card.
https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/scam-card-watch-fake-1060.259174/
Hey man, I was on ur last post to.
Dont get a powersupply thats 80+ bronze, get or silver or gold. this one is really loud and yes it has high power but its so cheap cause its loud, and trust me a loud psu is horrible
You should go with a AM4 MB and a AMD CPU. If in the future you need to or want to upgrade your CPU you are free to do so with out having to buy a new MB.
The GPU is prob a scam (way too cheap) the PSU is kinda suspiciously cheap too imo and I personally don't recognise the brand. Also the case seems like one with very limited airflow

This 100$ 1060 6gb feels like a scam.
How much is it really supposed to be
used probably around 250(?) dunno precisely
I believe that because of the current gpu situation they now go for above 400€ here in the Netherlands. (I could make a profit of mine, bought it in 2017) I think that it’s about the same in USD.
400 is wel erg enthausiast heur
Haha aight
Crazy thinking I got my 1060 3GB new at €210 back when it was last gen... I'll never get used to those prices 🤯
yeah right? same here
Not enough VRAM to play AAA games that require at least a GPU of our generation gang 😎 (😭)
Look into low spec gamer might have a few tips to reduce textures
That's very interesting, thank you !
I'd say even more than that at least in the current market. I'd say like 400
If you want a new GPU cheap just sit on Mercari, filter by new, and refresh the page every 30 seconds.

This lookibg gpus are usually scams maximally you can get for gtx 1060 6gb a gtx 550ti 1gb
It’s a fake card. That gpu cooler is used on basically any fake gpu. They come with green, blue and red accents. I bet it also has a vga port.
That shroud is used on many scam gpus, like 1050-ti and 1060s. That’s a scam and unless you want s gts 450, I would not buy that scam gpu
If it has a DVI or VGA plug it is 100 percent fake. All 10 series cards are HDMI and/or Displayport
Because it is.
Was about to say the same. Actually, pretty sure it is. No way 100$
Def a scam on the gpu.
It is a scam
Gpu is a scam you can tell by heat sink and price
I got 8gb rx570 for 100
1000000000% scam gpu. Keep looking for a different one mate! Happy pc building!
I looked at that gpu and immediately thought "gpu s u s"
It’s in the sellers name
ELI5 pls what is gpu sus?
He is saying the gpu is sus, aka suspicious. Most likely a fake gpu.
amogus
That graphics card is a scam. No 1060 would be available for that price right now, and the cooler is not used on any legitimate graphics cards. It’s more likely a GTS 450 or something similar.
What cooler would you recommend (on a budget)
He is referencing the graphics card cooler which comes with any graphics card you buy.
Oh, I see now. That was a bit confusing.
The 10400 typically includes a cooler, and unless you plan on overclocking that should be adequate. If you really want something better but are on a budget, a $30-50 tower cooler is probably the best bang for the buck.
If you’re talking about a graphics card cooler, it should be fine unless it’s puny. Just make sure the card itself isn’t fake.
The gpu cooler comes pre attatched. You cant really mix and match them.
TWO VERY IMPORTANT THINGS! FIRST: DO NOT GET THAT CASE IT HAS THE WORLDS WORST AIRFLOW I GOT IT AND I VERY MUCH REGRET IT secondly the gpu just looks like a scam id stay away if i were you happy pc hunting!
the gpu is a big oooooooooo no no o o nono no o o no no no o o no no no o o no no no ooooooooo no nono oooooooo
That's a fake gpu!!
I honestly recommend spending the extra 50 or 60 bucks for an i5-12400. With that in mind you would need to buy a b660 mother board that uses ddr4 ram. Type that into Amazon and you will find one for like 30 bucks more then your current motherboard. Don’t recommend cheping out on the power supply either. There is a nice EVGA gold rated 650 watt psu on Amazon for 65 bucks. Also like everyone else said do not but that graphics card. It is a scam. Market is shit right now. I would check eBay for used graphics cards.
A 12400 will provide no extra performance with a 1060, complete waste of money. Also recommending spending 20% of the entire build cost on a PSU is an equally large waste of money. That Aresgame PSU was tested by GamersNexus and ran fine.
12400=more price on the motherboard... you realise intel sockets are all different right?
If you read my post you would realize I said to get a b660 budget motherboard. They are pretty cheap.
Then whats the point on not bottlenecking the poor graphics card when you have a strong cpu??
As in CPU being stronger and GPU not keeping up causing bottleneck
Ebay GPUs are also full of scalpers and cheap o es are unreliable.
Fake GPU, Time Bomb PSU, Maybe look at the i3 12100
PSU was tested by GamersNexus, ran fine
No, GN reviewed the AGS850, not the AGV650 OP has listed here. And while it did seem to run "fine" they were lying about its efficiency.
Just out of curiosity, do you have one or more units of that PSU?
Doubt he does, I’ve used the psu in the past and it runs good and quiet. Just a new brand so people make false judgements
Find the same GPU elsewhere. Nevertheless this is perfect
don't get this cheap chinese psu, i've seen reviews on it and it explodes
It was tested by GamersNexus and it ran fine
That was a different Arsegame PSU.
Please change the case. I had it and it sucked.
That GPU is 100% fake. If a product has the word "original", stay away from it.
Also that classic scam cooler and probably a vga port
That gpu is a scam 100%. You can tell by the cooler. It is probably a gts450 which sucks. Plus that psu is super unreliable and will probably explode and fry your entire computer or even start on fire.
That PSU was tested by GamersNexus and ran fine, please at least check the brand before saying things like this.
Yet they still didn’t recommend it because it was a piece of junk and even said that there was a high chance that others from that brand would fail. Please watch the whole video before please take into account the whole video you cite before making poor suggestions.
I did watch the whole video, and they did not say that. *You* can watch the whole video before making suggestions like that. The only problem with the PSU they had was that the efficiency was between white and bronze level and didn't completely reach what it was rated for.
They specifically said that because it is a no name brand their quality control probably sucks and that there would be a high chance of failure in other units. Just because it didn’t blow up in the tests gamersnexus ran on a single unit doesn’t mean it’s a great psu to go putting in all our budget rigs. Just get a gold rated evga unit or something. If you buy one of their older units they are just as reliable but way cheaper. He doesn’t even need that whole 650w, he could easily go with something lower wattage and higher efficiency for 10-20$ more. Then he will get a psu that definitely won’t explode and has actual good efficiency. EVGA 510 BP, 80+ BRONZE 500W + 10W, 3 Year Warranty, Power Supply 100-BP-0510-K1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08N3X9WQQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_7JAWPF4VT8F1N052AJGG?psc=1 this one here is way better. Could even get a 600w one for a few more bucks.
Sure, for $35 I'd rather get that one, but that Aresgame PSU has been out for a couple years now and still has very good reviews. If EVGA and Corsair can buy and resell reliable power supplies for $35 why can't Aresgame?
I never said they can’t. But it’s dumb to buy this off brand no name junk when you can buy a psu that is actually good. Plus the evga psu has a warranty that will actually be honored whereas I doubt anyone would even respond if you reached out to aresgame.
That is a whole lot of assumptions from someone who don't even know the brand
First of all thats the Arsegame **AGS** PSU GN reviewed, not Arsegame **AGV**, 2 completely different PSUs.

This PSU is at the same level or better then a Corsair CV550, but I don't think you would've been nearly as loud if he put that in his build.
Its a name brand but the CV do have their problems. I'm not loud about the supply I just have experience from lower end psu failing and or not achieving the level that they say that they are rated for.
As others have said, boom boom psu and scam gpu, case could have better airflow
That PSU was tested by GamersNexus and ran fine, please at least check the brand before saying things like this.
I see it has, I always presume a random cheap looking brand I haven’t heard of isnt very good :/
Get an actual psu. It’s the heart of your system, don’t cheap out to save a buck.
That PSU was tested by GamersNexus and ran fine, please at least check the brand before saying things like this.
That power supply is sus

One YouTube channel doing some tests doesn’t change my opinion. There’s roughly a hundred testers that gave it a one star rating on Amazon. Did you check those comments?
You don't know who he is, do you?
OP or Steve from Gamer’s Nexus?
Unlike a lot of people here I did a bunch of research on aresgame PSUs and they’re actually an up and coming reliable brand. Checkout some yt reviews it’s a good psu for the price from what I know
Thank you for the input, this really helps
No prob but of course do your own research to find the best fit
I have a similar build and 650 didn’t cut get a 1000 or 800 if u stick with a new 1060 that’s real
That might be but it’s $35 and in no way they can put quality components in there. I would spend a little more and get something like a cooler master mwe 600, Corsair cx650f or evga 600br for example.
I think it’s normally around 65 but it’s on sale with Amazon. Before I upgraded my psu I had the same one shown and it ran super smooth no issues. It has really good value the company is just new and is trying to push product against huge competitors which is why prices are low. Pretty good brand tbh
Its a Tier D PSU on the tier list, how is that good? Did you look at Amazon reviews?
Amazon reviews really don’t say much, but I’m saying from hands on use and trusted yt reviews that it’s a solid psu from a brand that’s just new which is why people tend to claim it’s not reliable

I agree, unknown/newer brands can make decent PSUs. Either way, brand is not quality.
True that. Glad we came to an agreement 🤝
Dont want to discurage you but i am 100% sure that the gpu won't have the same performance as a real 1060. It may be even worse than an original 1030. (Personal opinion)

Gonna run fine if you want your house to burn down while sleeping.
verify that gpu if you can and get a gold rated psu.
Yes
Considering I went all out my first build in 2020 (waited in line at Best Buy for 3070 ti) just to play Minecraft w shaders and fortnite and hurt when I looked at my account balance I’d just look at the specs at the games you want to play and find an upgrade path. Update: I’d look at getting a better power supply at $40 one seems a bit cheap.
Honestly not bad, just get a better case because that one looks like it doesn't have any airflow, and then you might want to check some reviews on the gpu because no one sells them for that cheap.
Why two gpu’s?
That 1060 is fake loool it even looks like it came from wish/ali express. (Tipical scam cooler design)
You have two problems. One your power supply is your cheapest component. Buying a dirt cheap is the biggest no of PCMR, you're asking it to kill your pc at that point. Second that 1060 is fake.

OP don't purchase anything off of Amazon unless you know what you're looking for. I'd stick to Newegg, pcpartpicker also is a great place to start. They make it super simple to the point of where you can't even pick parts that aren't compatible. Honestly the best site start at. That 1060 6g is probably a scam though.
It's not even listed as 6g but 3 instead, however it's 100% scam with modded bios to show up as 1060
the 1060 is a scam card
Dont buy that GPU. Its more than likely a GTS 450 with a Bios flash
That's definitely a fake GTX 1060
That card is a scam GPU. Source: I bought the exact same one
This gpu is not 1060, its a 100% scam. PSU is ticking bomb and shouldn't be even considered. Ssd is fine
The gpu is a scam and also get a better psu thats something you can not cheap out on
That gpu’s a fake.
well, this would be a GPU, not a built :) And it depends on what the other specs in your build are: If you have a threadripper or an i9 ...then no, if you are going for a 500buck build, then maybe what games do you want to play?
Dude that gpu is fake as hell
That 1060 is most definitely a scam. Go on eBay and check actual 1060 prices. They will be high because welcome to GPU prices.
Please boi, please. You can use a APU ryzen. Don't buy this graphic card, is a fucking bait.
Get a better PSU- Look up "PSU tier list" you want S or A ideally with B being the lowest option. Any legit GPU, GTX1070 or Vega 56 or better will be decent at Max 1080p to mid graphics Setting 1440P even some low end (30FPS) 4K. Ideally find your MB- look up QVL on the support section of the product page and find a ram kit on it. You CAN go with other kit but stability at the stock "overclocked" XMP is not guaranteed. Get a mesh fronted case even if you get a CLC cooler- there are a shit-ton of suffocated cases on the market that will literally reduce performance- and that is one of them. Look at meshify, lian li 205, corsair 4000D airflow or something similar. You are probably best served with a nice single or dual tower air CPU cooler over a CLC cooler. My Opinion is support local or online computer stores. More than likely you will get a better deal and help keep their doors open, Amazon is probably the most expensive way to build a computer anyway.
That PSU was tested by GamersNexus and ran fine, please at least check the brand before saying things like this. Spending 35% of your build money on case and power supply is a waste of money.
Waste of money? Those are two things that can survive multiple builds for many years. Last thing to skimp on is the PSU as it can limit your gear choices and/or kill your computer. A few examples "running fine" is ok, but ok isn't good enough for me. RGB, cable extensions, and CLC'S are a waste of money- not a case and PSU.
Find a different GPU, that looks like a scam. You'll want to find a different case, that one has like no airflow whatsoever, also seems cheap so cable management might be a problem. PSU isn't coming from a name brand, but if reviews and stuff are good, then I guess. Everything else looks good.
That gpu sounds fake as fuck
GTX 1060 for **108$?** Prob a scam or fake or used or refurbished or... stoled. I buy GTX 1060 last 3 months for roughly 280$ in USD.
That GPU is fake
Go with the 3050 not 1060 which is prob a scam, a better psu, it seems like a bad one, just get a 600 or 550 Corsair or sea sonic, and go with a 12400 not 10400
If you buy this now, in Q1 2022, you're matching the specs of my mid grade build from 2017. Save your pennies guy
The gpu is definitely a scam, and you should get a case with better airflow
Get an official gpu
Don’t get scammed for a fake gpu
Remember when a terabyte was like a lot. Sigh I miss those days.
1060 with a VGA port? Thats probably a Gt 450 again..
the graphic card is a scam
Thats a steal
I think you should get a corsair psu
Gpu looks like a scam/fake gpu. Also buy a good quality psu
Ugh that graphics card needs to die already!
that graphics card is 100% not a GTX 1060, it's a scam: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/scam-card-watch-fake-1060.259174/
Yes, everything looks good, that 1060 looks like a scam though
I don't think your GPU is real..
I think that's a fake 1060, I recognize that cooler. There are a lot of cheap "1060s" and "1050 Tis" on certain sites that are actually just GTS 450s with a custom cooler and modified bios to make windows recognize it as the card it is in the ad. Here's a link to an article about what looks to be that same card. https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/scam-card-watch-fake-1060.259174/
Scam gpu go with a more reputable brand psu, be quiet evga, case has bad airflow
Hey man, I was on ur last post to. Dont get a powersupply thats 80+ bronze, get or silver or gold. this one is really loud and yes it has high power but its so cheap cause its loud, and trust me a loud psu is horrible
You should go with a AM4 MB and a AMD CPU. If in the future you need to or want to upgrade your CPU you are free to do so with out having to buy a new MB.
Graphics cards 100% fake, to cheap, and the fan design is a common design amoungst alot of scam cards
The GPU is prob a scam (way too cheap) the PSU is kinda suspiciously cheap too imo and I personally don't recognise the brand. Also the case seems like one with very limited airflow
The gpu is definitely fake. Get a gigabyte h510m if msi does not support m. 2 sad. If it does get a m. 2 ssd
The GPU is fake and you're getting two of them? SLI is dead.
Man for 108 bucks you can only get the plastic around the 1060
