    How's this look for a build?

    heres what I put together for my golf simulator build.

    motherboard: gigabyte Z170x-gaming 7
    processor: Intel I5-6600k 3.5ghz 6 M
    graphics: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 G1 6gb card
    RAM: G.Skill ripjaws V series 16gb 288 pin DDR 4 3000 (2x8)
    Storage: sandisk Ultra II 240gb SATA III 2.5 inch SSD + WD BLUE 1TB 7200 hard drive
    Power: EVGA 650 GQ 80+ gold 650W supply
    Optical drive: Asus 24x DVD-RW
    cooling: Cool Master Hyper 212 EVO
    Case: Cooler Master Storm Scout 2 gaming Mid tower

    How's that look to you computer guys? Anything I should change before I open this all up and put it together?
    Total cost ran me around $1125... My son will also be using it to run games from steam...

    Looks good..... in a couple of years, you will be able to add a new video card and go 4K. That build will run TGC just fine.

      That's what I was thinking. Instead of splurging like $650 on a 1080 card I'll just upgrade in a couple years and be happy still

          please excuse a stupid question, I am up to my nostrils in building a sim system, dealing drywall and HVAC contractors ... but I understand the simulation software should be set to run thru the GPU. We connect the HDMI cable from GPU to the projector for a wonderful image1080P. But these GPUs can run several monitors, having multiple video out slots. So I should be able to watch live golf or streaming video while practicing golf, like with picture in picture. My sim is going in my garage and I don't have a cable outlet, but can stream video via Netflix or Comcast TV Go via wifi. But i'd also like to install an HD over the air antenna to watch local NFL and broadcast golf tournaments. It seems that I would use two HDMI cables (the projector has two HDMI ports) from the video card and try the PIP like looking at two windows on the computer monitor. I'd have get HD antenna connected to the PC as well... just wondering how to configure the multiple "screens" thru the computer and then mirrored to the projector...

            depends on the graphics card and what you set up, you can extend to different monitors but not sure if a PIP is possible, I clone to three monitors right now but I could, clone screen 1 which is my monitor and clone my projector which is screen 2 but extend on monitor 3 I would just put in Xfinity on the go and stream on that extended screen 3, if that's what you are trying to accomplish, but I do not think you can PIP maybe someone else has tried it, I would monitor your internet speed if you do stream and not eat up all your speed and lag out your game.
