Making a guest/travel PC, wanna know what parts I could replace on my main PC and put into my Guest/travel one.

[Nicholas_50]

I have a newish PC that runs great. I need to build another PC and still have perfectly good parts in my main home PC. I dont know what to upgrade in my PC. I was thinking eabout the i7-770k and the Intel SSD thats bigger, but not sure if the upgrades would be worth it, The parts that would be getting replaced are for a guest/travel computer, everything that I would buy would go in my PC. Dont really have a budget in mind but cant upgrade to stuff like a titan or anything.

My current build is;
CPU: intel i7-6700k
CPU Fan: Corsair H100i V2
GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual OC 8gb
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170x-Ultra gaming ATX mobo
Ram: Corsair vengence LPX 16gb 2x8 DDR4-300 Memory
SSD: Samsung 850 250gb 2.5" SSD
HDD: Western Digital 1tb HDD
PSU: Corsair Pro. 650W 80+ Semi-Modular ATX PSU
Case: Corsair 750D ATX Full Tower Case

Also here is a pcpartpicker to my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LcH2Z8

A Gsync monitor is probably a better upgrade:

I think it would go further towards delivering a smooth gaming experience (assuming that's the focus) over most other options. If you're at 4k, then of course a second GTX 1070 may also help.

Your planned CPU upgrade is not worth it. You only gain about 9% performance,
comparison: http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-6700K-vs-Intel-Core-i7-7700K/3502vs3647

Also, when going for Kaby Lake CPU on Z170 chipset MoBo, you might need to update the BIOS to get support for Kaby Lake CPUs.
I don't suggest going for i7-7700K.

What you can go for is bigger (and faster) SSD and bigger HDD as well.

Like these two drives.

Samsung SSD is a M.2 NVMe SSD that is 6 to 10 times faster than regular 2.5" SSD and it mounts to the M.2 SSD slot on your MoBo (located between CPU socket and 1st PCI-E x16 slot).

HGST (Hitachi) HDDs are the most reliable ones out there and 4TB of storage space should be more than enough for you.

If you don't want to go with M.2 NVMe SSD then you can go for regular 2.5" SSD too, here i suggest Samsung 850 EVO (500GB),

I was thinking about the Intel SSD 600p Series (512GB, M.2 2280 80mm NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4, 3D1, TLC) Reseller Single Pack for the SSD. is the 960 pro faster or better for the price then the intel ssd? also HDD not looking for an upgrade really, i put prety much everything on my SSD except videos and pictures. Thanks for the quick reply!

The Intel 600p series M.2 SSD is basically a big joke when it comes to the M.2 SSDs.

2 comparisons, 1st Intel 600p vs Samsung 960 Pro,
link: http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-600p-Series-NVMe-PCIe-M2-512GB-vs-Samsung-960-Pro-NVMe-PCIe-M2-512GB/m168978vsm182182

and Intel 600p vs Samsung 850 Evo,
link: http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-600p-Series-NVMe-PCIe-M2-512GB-vs-Samsung-850-Evo-500GB/m168978vs3477

To put it short, Intel 600p M.2 SSD benefits are that it doesn't take up the 2.5" drive bay and it doesn't need SATA power and data cable to operate.

I more looking for a replacment to my videocard or an part in my computer and put in my other desktop im planning on builduingnot really and addition to the computer. Thank you for the suggestion though!

 

[Nicholas_50]

You're welcome.

Do you have any other parts i should replace? this is gonna be a guest PC and or a Work/travel PC I can play games on smoothly at 144hz. Or suggestions on what i should get? I Believe I have a CPU at my Office thats an i5-6600k but not Mobo or anything for it.
Ty for the help again, im not sure what to get for this PC, i put mine together slowly overtime from an old prebuilt I got, never made my own fresh PC from scratch.

 

[Aeacus]

You can replace your GTX 1070 for GTX 1080 if you like to have better performance on your main PC.
Further reading: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-gpus,4380.html

Though, GTX 1070 is a great GPU to have and i'd go for Samsung 960 Pro.

Edit:
As far as your 2nd PC goes (with i5-6600K), you can look towards my Skylake build to get an idea how high-end PC with i5-6600K looks like. Full specs in my sig.
Few pics too,

You are awesome my man. Last question, You have a case recommendation by chance? like mid tower, no side window and nothing fancy just one that can hold everything and stay cool , Im 100% willing to pay an extra 50$ for one that is strong, and well built like my case the 750D. you know of any?

 

[Aeacus]

You can go for Corsair case since they do offer good build quality cases,

Pick any you like, e.g Carbide 300R.
specs: http://www.corsair.com/en/carbide-series-300r-compact-pc-gaming-case
pcpp: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/pFV48d/corsair-case-300r

Corsair Carbide 300R looks similar to your Corsair Obsidian 750D while being smaller and without a side window.
