New Gaming Computer

[mf2780]

Hello,

My computer's motherboard is damaged and I need a new computer. I will be ordering the parts tonight and having the parts overnighted to me. I need to be online. lol

Uses: Gaming and Creating Mods/Addons for games.

Here is my problem: I had planned to upgrade my computer next year for the new graphics cards that come out. This means I will be holding off on powerful cards until next year. Until than I will be using a GTX 970. The motherboard needs to be compatible with the new cards next year. My next year budget would have been $3500. Would like to get a system I can upgrade to that final budget when the new GPUs are released.

I want the new motherboard to be upgradable for next years GPUs and ready for Oculus Rift.

Budget: $1200 (for online purchases. If can buy something locally than no budget)
What I need:
Motherboard: (Will need to fit next years GPUs on them. Why going to use Skylake)
CPU: (Skylake and may upgrade it later)
RAM: (Should only need 16GB)
CASE: (Want it to be as quiet as possible and fit 2 GPU cards) Do not like lights on case.
CASE FANs: (Want it to be as quiet as possible)
Power supply (for possible 2 next gen gpus)


If I can find the above locally I can hold off until Monday and go buy it and wont need to be part of the 1200 budget. Not sure what bestbuy has in parts.

I will be using the GTX 970 until next year.
I have a 500 GB Solid State Drive already.
Do not need an Operating system. (Will go to best buy Monday to pick on up).

Is this any good?

 

[mf2780]

Thanks for response.

Do not need the wireless adapter. Is that CPU Cooler liquid cooling? Would like to avoid liquid cooling.

Any suggestions on a more powerful motherboard? Will that PU handle future Duel GPUS?

 

[oddaaron00]

No CPU liquid cooling, the wireless adapter was just in case, and the mobo & psu can both handle 2 980s in 2-way SLI.

 

[oddaaron00]

I've altered it with an upgraded motherboard and PSU which can handle 2 GTX Titan Xs in SLI

Having trouble finding the I7 6700 to order from. Most are showing out of stock even when show in the partpicker. Was trying to stick with newegg and amazon.

Will check back in morning. Hopefully the fastest shipping option will get me the components on Monday. Tuesday at the latest.

I'm the same as you, pretty much. If I can't get it from Amazon sold by/fulfilled by Amazon, I won't buy it because I know I have full warranty and returns.
