AlexPX3 wrote Sorry I cannot remove my last post but I changed it was just wondering what I can replace the RAM with as it is no longer available

You should make your own thread, instead of hijacking OP's. For your first question on SLI support, the GTX 1060 does not support SLI so you can't have SLI support with a GTX 1060 system. For RAM, get whatever is cheapest and looks good in the capacity you require. Make sure it's compatible with your CPU/Mobo in PCPP.

If you don't want to overclock, get an i5-6500 instead. I'd recommend the 6600k though, just in case you decide you want to OC at some point. 16GB RAM helps in AAA titles these days, and is handy to have. 240GB SSD for OS and a few games. You don't need the HDD straight away, so you can drop that for now and save some money, but if you do that, you should add an HDD asap. Nice case with LEDs(has 9 colours I think, and off). I also included an NZXT Hue+ for you, for RGB LEDs inside the case. Great quality PSU, it's non modular so cable management might be a hassle, but the case has a PSU shroud, so cables will be almost entirely hidden. GTX 1060 will be plenty for 1080p, and even 2560x1080 if you upgrade to an ultrawide monitor. If you decide to go 1440p, 3440x1440, or 4k, you'd be better upgrading the GTX 1060 to a GTX 1070. If you do that, you can grab a GTX 1070 for £380 or so pretty easily and sell the GTX 1060 to make back most of your money, and end up only paying like £150-200 for the GTX 1070. The GTX 1060 will handle 1440p comfortably, but at lower settings, whereas the GTX 1070 will easily max 1440p. I don't recommend anything above 1440p with a GTX 1060.
Thanks again mate. We've both ordered all of our parts now. Do I need the 3 extra fans you put at the bottom? If I do that's fine I'll order them now, if not I'll get them another time, what's your suggestion?

You can leave the fans out for now. They'll be nice and quiet, but the case should come with an included fan or two so you can use those for the mean time, and add/upgrade case fans later.

Just double checked. The P400(S) comes with two included 120mm fans. Those will be sufficient for now.

Cheers man. Ordered the RAM, then they told me it was out of stock. Any other RAM you'd recommend that would be just as good for a similar price?

Nice man. Me and my mate needed a build for the same sort of budget so I'm glad 13 hooked us up with this.
