New Gaming PC Build

My current PC, although upgraded over the years, is almost 10 years old. I have decided now is the time to start fresh and build a dedicated Gaming PC. I will continue using my old PC (along with an Elgato HD capture card) to handle live streaming, as it features a capable FX-8600 "eight-core" processor.  You can take a look at my part list below and expect a follow-up post showing off the completed build. 

Gaming PC Part List

​Intel Core i5-9600K 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor
I was originally looking at the 8-Core i7-9700K. However, the i5-9600K seems to be a far better value-per-dollar while still being a high-performance processor. It is unlocked for overclocking up to 4.6GHz.

​be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 50.5 CFM CPU Cooler
The Dark Rock Pro is a large and powerful cooler. It is rated for 250W TDP to keep the system cool while achieving peak CPU performance. 

​ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 4 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
A high-performance gaming motherboard that simply meets all of my needs. It is the perfect base for my build, and leaves plenty of room to expand. 

​Team T-FORCE VULCAN Z 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory
Quick. Stable... and Sexy!

Intel 660p Series 512 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6 GB WINDFORCE OC 6G Video Card
The GTX 1060 may be out classed by some of today's top GPUs, however it is still a very powerful graphics card. Eventually it can be upgraded to get the best performance out of today's video games. 

Fractal Design Meshify C ATX Mid Tower Case

The case is simple, yet stylish featuring a tinted tempered glass side window. It is a spacious case allowing for high airflow (and my massive CPU cooler).

​Corsair RMx 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Corsair's RMx power supplies are powerful, efficient, and quiet featuring  Japanese capacitors for improved reliability. ​​
