Purchasing solely from Amazon UK this is the route I would go. It is ~20 over your budget but performance wise, you will see large increases over the other proposed builds. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor (£181.90 @...

Here is the general direction I would go. You didn't mention needing any peripherals, software, or a monitor so I left those off and went for raw performance. This will handle anything you throw at it gaming wise. The only part I'm not sure about is the PSU, the one I chose will either be just...

I'm not trying to scold you but you spent extra money in the wrong places... With no plans to overclock, using the i5-6500 stock cooler will be more than sufficient. As Skittish was mentioning, for the best performance per price options you invested your money in the wrong places. When it comes...

Jmsellars build is appropriate for gaming aside from the motherboard. If you're intentions are to overclock I would suggest getting a different mobo. That particular mobo while good for gaming is only has a 4-phase power design which means your temps are going to run higher with anything over...

I purchased the Asus Z170-E to use in my current pc build I completed about 2 months ago now. I am quite happy with the results. My intentions haven't been to overclock but the capabilities are there. It may not be listed as a "gaming" motherboard, but it can sure hold its own against one.

That processor and motherboard are incompatible. Let me offer you a suggestion in build. The build you created above is ~1000 euro. I kept the vendor pricing all through Amazon-Italy, I switched to an Intel I5 processor and a B150M motherboard. Also went with the AMD Rx480, which should be...

You only need a K (unlocked) processor if you plan to use a Z170 mobo. That B150 will not overclock so you don't need that processor. If you do go with that processor and get a Z170 mobo youll need a cpu fan.

This is the build I'd go with. Its very similar to Logainofhades build, however this one features an upgraded psu and a different case and 2 sets of fans. Either one will run 1440p well, though his will do a bit better job, but if you go with his recommendation I would at least upgrade the psu...

You wouldn't need that Z170 motherboard since that processor is locked. You also mentioned already having a monitor so you wouldn't need that either. Here is what I would recommend. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor...

Since you have chosen an H170 chipset for your motherboard, you don't need a (k) processor which is unlocked. You would do fine with a I5-6500 unless you plan on doing any streaming... Also, the ram speed is a bit excessive. You would do fine with DDR4 2400 ram speed. Also performance wise if...

The rx 480 comes out June 29.

Hello, so after all the help I've received with my recent build, my brother-in-law has asked me to help him build a pc. Below listed are his wants and wishes! If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask! Thank you all!!! Approximate Purchase Date: 6/24/2016 Budget Range...

I saw that it says you've already purchased a gtx960, however for performance wise on most games and editing this is what I'd recommend. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($338.99 @ SuperBiiz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14...
