OK, /g/. My dad wanted to get a new iMac for gaming. He's a life-long Mac user, but I've finally been able to convince him that they are a ripoff and he wants me to build him a pc. I've never actually built a pc from scratch before (always got my brother's hand-me-down rig), so I could use some critiquing. Are these decent prices? Anything missing here? Is this a good combo of parts? Anything I should switch out? I assume I can just find a windows 10 key online for free rather than buying one, correct? I've gone with a 750w power supply because I'm going to give him my old 290x, which is much more power-hungry, and keep the 1070 for myself.

No need for the key, just install it and use a crack.

Its a solid build for some gaymen-tier newbie, but you could save A LOT of money by buying some cheaper parts:
>RAM: 2x8Gb: 50€
>Motherboard: non gaymen tier: 80€

Also that 290x is totally overkill unless your dad is into gaymen. But on the other hand I want you to give your best so your dad stays away from Apple in future.

Oh you fucking idiot. He is probably not going to OC, nor will overclocking provide any substantial FPS increase in modern games. I would get the cheapest i5 available instead of 6600K. A cheaper cooler will also do. Skylake is cool enough to run with the stock cooler if you're not a sissy who's afraid of a little noise.

That motherboard can be swapped out for something cheaper. Avoid pajeet tier manufacturers like ASRock and you're good to go as long as it has the features you need.

2133MHz DDR4 vs 3200MHz DDR4 offers no FPS increase in games either. Get the cheapest compatible memory available, everything else is a sham.

Who uses normal HDDs nowadays? Just get a 512GB SSD and enjoy the modern invention called the internet which allows you to download _hundreds of gigabytes_ every single day!

So yeah, I would change pretty much everything. The GPU, case and PSU are solid choices though. And lose the goddamn DVD drive, we haven't needed those in the past ten years.

Just buy a 10 pro FPP license and forget about losing activation.
