Hi, I'm buying a computer at some point or another hopefully and I'd like to know if this build(https://www.digitalstorm.com/configurator.asp?id=1472746) is a good one. I'd appreciate it if you guys could give me an in-depth review some pros and cons and maybe any way I can improve the parts and such. Thanks a lot you guys

Now for the questions... what resolution monitor will you be using for this computer?
What are the main uses? Anything special other than gaming? Any special environmental needs? Quiet, small, dust-proof, etc? Tell us how you're going to use it and the smart configuration boffins will be along to help out. Btw, welcome to the forums!

Using the 1080p monitor in your config this build will play games very good. You won't max out all in game settings with all games but high to max with decent frame rates with the gtx 1060 .
What's the budget ? If you can, I would change the SSD to larger Samsung and the power supply to a 600 watt at least for the future. But, as-is, with a tight budget, this will certainly give you your money's worth.
