Lol na, wouldn't say all games man.
Every game, tweak with the settings that work best.

These are the parts.

The only thing I changed from the first link is the motherboard and the GPU.

You need to paste the permalink, not the URL. Pasting the /list/ URL just links everyone to their own parts list.

However, that screenshot is a pretty terrible suggestion. First of all, £150 for OS is absolutely ridiculous. Paying any more than £25 for a key is stupid, and you can even easily get your OS for free. Now on to component choices.

CPU and cooler are fine. Though, I'd probably get a cheaper cooler for a locked CPU. Also, the Cryorig H5 is very similarly priced to the H7 in the UK, but significantly better. That motherboard is ridiculous. Absolutely no need for a £190 motherboard. In fact, OP could easily pay £100 less for a motherboard that's perfectly adequate. RAM is a little pricey, but no real issue with it. SSD is over-priced. The 850-EVO is a great SSD, but you can get a 480GB SSD for slightly more than a 250GB 850-EVO, or a 240GB SSD for the same price as a 120GB 850-EVO. Sure, the 850-EVO is a little faster and more reliable, etc etc, but it's not worth the premium IMO. If the 850-EVO was slightly cheaper, it would be a better option. PSU is horrific. It's not even a good budget option PSU, but with a GTX 1070 in a system that costs more than £1000, a budget EVGA PSU is absolutely preposterous. Case is meh. It's not terrible, per se, but it's not a good option. You can easily get a better case for the same price. You could even get a cheaper case with better features and similar build quality, or more features and similar build quality. Corsair cases are not very good at all. Some of Corsair's newer cases are better, but most of them are a little over-priced.

As for the GTX 1070, doesn't make sense. OP is likely gaming at 1080p, in which case, the GTX 1070 is a waste of money. A GTX 1060 would be more than enough. If I were to get a GTX 1070, I probably wouldn't pay more than £400 for one since they're already over-priced for an x70 series GPU.

Could you possibly suggest a better build?
