He didn't mentioned targeted settings, just 1080p gaming Now, I did skimp on the CPU, which might be a bottleneck for the RX 580... But, I chose a motherboard with more features, faster RAM, cheaper storage and a 8GB AMD card. Maybe too gimmicky, but my friend runs an MSI mobo and he's happy with it. However, the winner did designed it around one thing that I didn't thought about. Streaming and video editing. There, the R5 1600/M.2 SSD makes sense. I haven't noticed any difference in loading times for games, as I use a M.2 drive myself. Booting is fast. Still want to exchange the GPU for a 8GB or at least the 6GB GTX 1060. The case is beautiful though, I am at least getting a similar case for my proposed rig in the future . I would prefer going for a cheaper case, performance rather than exterior visuals.

Komplett's verdict in Norwegian

Spoiler

"Oppsettet er gjennomtenkt og gir høy ytelse til alle dagens spill. Her kan du fint spille i 1080p i 60+ FPS på ultrahøye instillinger. Både en ultrarask Samsung EVO 960 M.2 SSD på 250GB og 1TB harddisk for lagring = perfekt! Flott kabinett med vindu i siden og en god EVGA strømforsyning. Alt i alt, VELDIG mye PC for pengene! Vinneren sier vel egentlig alt selv i sin forklaring."

Translation: A thoroughly setup that gives high performance in all modern games. Here you can play in 1080p, 60 fps on ultra-high settings. An ultrafast SAMSUNG EVO 960 M.2 SSD with 250 GB and 1TB HDD for storage = Perfect! Good looking case with a side window and a good EVGA PSU. In all, PLENTY of PC for your money! The winner explains everything himself"
