so I'm gonna build a gaming pc (or rather, spec one and buy it):
intel i5 8600k
nvidia gtx 1060 6GB
16GB (2x8) corsair vengeance ddr4 2400mhz
coolermaster liquidlite 120 (i think?) cooler
1TB seagate barracuda HDD
250GB samsung 860 EVO SSD
450 or 550 watt power supply

so ive only now got to decide what motherboard is the best for this build when im trying to spend as little as possible without sacrificing anything.

im picking between the gigabyte z370p d3 and the asus prime z370-p
anyone got any advise here? also, would 450 watt power supply be enough for this build if i may in future want to slightly overclock, if i can figure out how/if i feel its necessary?
tah

Sorry but these forums are for PC Specialist advice - they build custom PCs and as such we cannot advise on self-build

You'd probably be better off asking over on something like Toms Hardware.

I mean that I was considering buying through pc specialist anyway, seeing as there are aspects of self build that I'm not comfortable with. I spec'd the machine on pc specialist, with the intention of buying if I decide it's right for me. Sorry for not making that clear, or for mistyping. Is there still no way you can advise me?

Absolutely.

If you run your spec through the configurator there's a share on the forums button.

Combine that with your uses and budget and then the knowledgeable folks here can help to maximise what you will get for your money and the right spec for the uses.
