High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

Might want to change the font colour, anyone with the dark theme cant see it.

You don't have a hard drive so saving games must be kinda hard

Gray good or nah?
Alot better, can read it now :p

Anyhow, those specs looks great, if you can a 1080 would be a little better, but as far as gaming PC's go, those specs are very good.

I am only using a 1080p monitor so a gtx 1080 would be overkill[DOUBLEPOST=1473196469][/DOUBLEPOST]
Would rather go with a gtx 1070 instead of the 1060
If I can get the funds I will try to get one[DOUBLEPOST=1473204024][/DOUBLEPOST]Updated part list!

For all those who say "1080 ftw", plz stfu. It is money down the drain. A 1070 or even 1060 is pretty much overkill for almost every game. I am guessing UberStudios is not trying to play witcher 3 60 fps on a 4k screen.

Debateable however still a pretty nice build, what are you primarily using it for?
Gaming, Youtube, Streaming, Graphic Designing, and school[DOUBLEPOST=1473209444][/DOUBLEPOST]

Correct I only have 2 1080p monitors which the gtx 1060 will be perfect for. 1070 might be worth it for the long run though.

1060 vs 1070, I say get 2 1060's for the price of one 1070 and sli :p

1060 sli vs 1080 = 1060sli

Thanks for the suggestion! That would be helpful if I do get extra money in the future
Before you do that though, you would want to do some research and see if sli is something you actually want. SLI can lead to stuttering and glitching in games sometimes. Buy just one now, and if you have the money/need later, you can try an sli.

Yeah I think 1 1060 will be fine for a year or so

Just to keep this updated here is so more information from a thread on another forum
Thanks so much for the load of information! Sorry for not replying earlier I was not logged in on my phone and I can't remember that password (because all my passwords are random letters/numbers)
I took a lot of what you said into mind when updating the part list and did some of my own research. I am going to be overclocking the cpu so I will be going with the intel i7-6300k.
Based off the following article I conclude that downgrading the CPU cooler will be good enough for overclocking.http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2870443/good-cpu-cooler-intel-core-6700k-skylake.html
I know getting a better cooler will help keep the temperatures down, but I don't plan to go crazy with overclocking.
I was going to go with the hyper 212 EVO, but I did so more research and found a better cooler for a little more.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4UF30R0134
I added an extra fan so that the case is cooler in general.

The updated partlist is as followed: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/mqmfvV
Thanks so much for the help!
