Better build than that ?

So I think I'll go with this build (wrong ram in it), how do you feel about it ? Would change to a GTX be better ? I take advice as long as the price is the same

that looks awfully familiar...

Did you try to rebuild my rig? I built that rig in October 2014.
E3-1231V3, ASUS Z97 Mark 2, Shadow Rock Slim, Fractal Design R4, Crucial Ballistix 16GB DDR3 1600, Galax/KFA2 GTX970 EXOC and 500GB Samsung 840 EVO?
I think, you do try to rebuild my rig but for that you need a PSU too, I saw no PSU in your link.
Get XFX XXX pro 750W along with LG blue-ray burner and your rig would be almost 100% the same to mine.
LoL
Wait a minute...so much coincidence is even possible?
Who are you? Where are you? Did you spy on me?

 

[Sakata]

that is nice you all but I literally just gave that exact build to someone on here like tonight.

You all do know that is a generic PCpartpicker list right? It links you to your last part list.

 

[madmatt30]

;- ) Lol - not the first time this has happened either.

 

[Gam3r01]

Wont be the last 😀

I could climb into a hole and die now....

Add also, an old 3TB Seagate HDD, an Acer XB270HU, a Dell U2412M, a Logitech MK710, a Logitech Z623, an ASUS Essence STX 2 and a V-Moda M100...then you are fully certified on copying my complete system.

hahahahaha..I know...but that E3-1231V3 build is exactly the same like I have...LoL
Move your mouse cursor on my Avatar and you will see my current rig.
I did not even used PCPartPicker
hahahahahaha

 

[guanyu210379]

Ok, I will get a wee bit serious and back to the topic.

Skylake i5 6600k build eh? hmmm...is this the correct build you want?
Skylake i5 6600k is only around 5% faster than Haswell i5 4690k.
Here, where I live, Hasswell is the better price/performance.
Skylake however supports DDR4, which is more future proof, regardless that DDR4 and DDR3 are not that different in performance. The performance different is mainly only caused by the processor.
The performance difference of you get on Skylake+DDR4 is extremely minimal, if you are using the rig mainly for games.

The OP has yet to post their build. Any speculation and recommendations you guys are doing is on eachothers builds...

 

[guanyu210379]

Yeah, it is only pure speculation.

It is just funny. I have been in this forum for quite a while and never experienced such coincidence.
You clicked a link and you see something around 90%-100% the same to your current build.

That was a hell of fun, there is the real one: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/XYhvxr

ah..i5 4460? a locked i5.
You do not need Z97 for a locked i5, a simple H97 or B85 should be enough.
But, if you can get that Z97 with special price, why not?

16GB RAM? 8GB is recommended, 16GB is a "nice to have" for today.

R9 380 is quite a nice pick.

No SSD? SSD is a very nice addition. Not a must but a very nice addition. You will not want to get any rig without SSD after you used one.

That PSU is not exactly good, I would recommend something else from XFX, Seasonic, Rosewill, etc.
I mean that PSU line from Corsair is not that good. XFX XXX 550W is nice and should not expensive.
