$1500 Budget, Thoughts?

[viv1d]

Would you go with a similar build to this? Looking for a reliable build, I will be doing some moderate overclocking, nothing fancy.

Pretty decent, you can (and should) get a better GPU for that budget:

This would give you alot better performance for the money, and 980 TI will last alot longer too. Rams are similar in performance because of the low CL rate. Z170 mobos all overclock well - and the liquid cooler isn´t really worth the money unless you´re huge overclocking enthusiast - evo 212 is still best for non-world-record-breaking-overclocking. Switched PSU to a slightly better, though the evga you picked is fine.

I kept your choice of cabinet, though you could easily shave 50 bucks off here too.

[Dulith1118]

a few suggestion jst what i think u should do...

a corsair 200R case is decent and pretty much what u need rather than going for a 100 case
H100i does get noisy at full speed and u dnt need a water cooler since u have high end build u wont need to over clock much so i suggest a nd15 air cooler.
and since with doing those thing u get like a 100 left in ur budget i suggest buy a 980 no need for a ti cuz thats for 2k gaming with high details 980 would give u atleast 4-6 years without an upgrade...

 

[Dulith1118]

other stuff i would change cuz they r pretty high quality stuff

Looks good, might look at the Asus Hero or Pro Gaming Z170s, you'll love the Trident Zs have the 3200 set in 32GB (4x8GB), may look to try the 64GB set to see how the 16GB sticks work
