Just some random stuff thats not bad priced but used.

(Sorry for formatting I’m on mobile)

I don’t know anything about intel so I’ll leave the cpu to someone else but here are some other parts that leave a decent budget for the cpu. Btw I just assumed that this is USD.

Cpu: byo

motherboard: (you can’t choose a motherboard without knowing the cpu sorry) make sure that you cpu is compatible AND works well with you motherboard aswell a quick google will solve that issue

Ram: https://www.amazon.com/G-Skill-Ripjaws-288-Pin-Desktop-F4-2400C15D-16GVR/dp/B013J7T5K6/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?keywords=gskill+ripjaws+16gb+ddr4&qid=1562735181&s=gateway&sr=8-2

GPU: https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GeForce-Windforce-DisplayPort-Gv-N166TWF2OC-6GD/dp/B07NJQLQWP/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?keywords=1660&qid=1562735531&s=gateway&sr=8-2

Psu: you’ll have to do some wattage calculations inputting your pc parts into this website https://seasonic.com/wattage-calculator# (tip: just ignore the sliders on the wattage calculator they will automatically adjust to the parts you choose) also regarding the wattage calculator get a power supply 50 watts or more over what it says and btw I would reccomend Corsair power supplies.

Case: choose whatever case you like best but make sure that it can fit your motherboard and other parts (e.g. a regular atx motherboard isn’t gonna fit into micro or atx mini itx case) it’s pretty easy to check just read the product descriptions for what size the motherboard is and what motherboard sizes the case supports.

Ignore sound cards unless you plan to use this pc for music production and ignore wifi cards unless you play games on wifi which I highly advise against.

Cpu cooler: unless you plan to overclock then the stock cooler is ugly but fine.

Storage: 120gb ssd (for operating system, google, game launchers, and fav games) https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-120GB-Solid-SA400S37-120G/dp/B01N6JQS8C/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=kingston+120gb+ssd&qid=1562736265&s=gateway&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&sr=8-1

Storage 2: well you’ll have to decide on the amount for storage u need as there are different models from 1tb to 10tb again only get what u need. but for you price I reccomend: https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Deskptop-1Terabyte-5400-7200RPM-Applications/dp/B06XR3LT6W/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=wd+blue+1tb&qid=1562736437&s=gateway&sr=8-4

Case fans: depending on the case you buy it may come with fans or not. Sometimes the seller say the case includes fans and they only include 1 or 2 I would reccommend 3 fans at least (2 at front 1 at the back) Corsair, NZXT, noctua, cooler master and thermaltake make good fans.

Note: idk if intel cpu’s Comes with thermal paste with it (wether it’s pre-applied like Ryzen or in a tube) but make sure you have thermal paste on hand

Sorry I couldn’t help with cpu and motherboard but I hope this helps good luck :)

No, it was because of the rt cores. The Gtx 1660 ti can do ray tracing but it isn't called the Rtx 1660 ti because there are no rt cores.

See? https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GeForce-Windforce-DisplayPort-Gv-N166TWF2OC-6GD/dp/B07NJQLQWP/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=gtx+1660+ti&qid=1571930208&sr=8-1

Here it is!

I bought it open box from Microcenter for $215 back in April.

I would suggest to use US version for the time being and put a budget, to say, $550. UK prices are incomplete and many are broken so you can get something way better. Here's what I mean:

In fact... I really can't say anything wrong about this build and would seriously recommend it.

I have the FX 8350 which is close in performance to your CPU and I can tell you that the 1660 Ti is a great and cheap upgrade for 1080p Maxed settings. I found mine for $279.99 on Amazon it’s the Gigabyte one

GTX 1660 Ti $279.99

This one should be good though

In my opinion if you have270$ I think you should buy an GTX 1060 I have this one and for now everything good it's an extra money to extra performance

Also get a different gpu model. Like [this.] (https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GeForce-Windforce-DisplayPort-Gv-N166TWF2OC-6GD/dp/B07NJQLQWP)

Thought the black screen was fixed... it wasnt. Played Killing floor 2 for 15 minutes then a sudden black screen appeared with a aggravating electronic noise. If i see no fix til January/February, ill be buying this
