is this a good gtx 1070 build?

[GamerDylan]

Hi,

Im trying to figure out what my very first pc build will be with the new gtx 1070. Ways to keep the cost down are welcome! This is my first time building a pc so please be understanding if I make some mistakes. My build:

OPTION A: Total: €1325
-i7 6700k
-Cooler Master Seidon 120V Rev. 2
-gtx 1070 (asus strix if they announce it?)
-Gskill 16gb 2400mhz
-adata premier sp550 120gb ssd
-1tb WD blue
-Asus z170 pro gaming
-seasonic s12II 520 EVO
-nzxt s340

OPTION B: Total: €1160
Same as option A but the following changes:
-i7 6700k-> i7 6700 (non-K)
-Liquid cooled-> stock cooler
-asus z170->MSI b150m PRO-VD

OPTION C: Total: €1030
-i5 6500
-WD blue 1tb
-MSI b150M PRO-VD
-gskill 16gb 2133 ram
-adata premiere sp550 120gb ssd
-nzxt s340
-seasonic s12II 520 EVO
-gtx 1070

Curious to get some feedback of you guys! Thanks in advance

EDIT: changed some parts on your recommendation

Option C is the best value, a good balance in longevity and price. There is no such thing as future proofing, the best you can do is get the best value you can afford right now and keep an open upgrade path. Option C seems to do this best.

Option C but i5 replaced with i7-6700 (Is that what option B is?) might also offer good value, but not a whole lot of additional performance in gaming. Maybe use an H170 board instead of B150 to expand add on card and peripheral options to extend system life.

Yes B is basicly C with the i7-6700 but that price includes the Z170 pro, with the B150 it makes €1160 I believe. What is the difference between the H170 and B150 board? Looked similar to me.. So basicly option B is good if I swap the board for something else than the Z170 pro or B150?

H170 has additional expansion slots and functionality over B150. Nothing generally too important.

So, Option B with the B150 Board? would I miss out on a lot if I were to do it? I just watched a gtx 1080 test video where they used an i7-6700 (not oc'd) and an i5-6400 and the difference in some games was pretty big. That's why im leaning towards the above config.

If you can afford it then go for it, but most games don't take advantage of an Intel i7.

How is option A for now? Is that motherboard right for the setup? It might be worth it for me if it all works together.

Also, for another €3 I get a 2400mhz set.

I would really go with at lest 4690K/6600k+ Because gta v maxes out an i5-4460 with a moderate gpu on gta v and since you want so many frames... you would be cpu limite

See this vid and check the cpu usage in every cpu...

Not really GTA V focussed but it seems to me option A or B is right for me. How about the motherboards? Are they any good... Im sorry if I ask stupid questions, I just want to be sure.

 

[GamerDylan]

For now I just want to know what motherboard to get.. Im leaning towards the 6700 but im not sure if I should get the z170 board for more upgradability or the b150 board..

 

[Icaraeus]

Will you be overclocking and/or using multiple GPUs? If not, don't get Zxxx motherboard.

If I get the 6700K I would be overclocking, yes.
I thought it might be nice to get an SLI capable board if I want to get another 1070 down the road. Would that be the only difference in boards? Also, isnt the b150 a micro atx board? won't that give me trouble with fitment and my case? The cheap option is tempting but looking at fps differences between the i5 and i7 is making me want to go for the i7... Would the cheaper board also give me all the options and possible upgradability or should I get a cheap z170 board?

Thanks a lot by the way for helping me out!!

B150 doesn't support overclocking and multiple GPUs
