[New gaming pc build] Would like to know if these components are good for gaming

[chris guerra]

I have no plans for overclocking.

• Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

• EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Super Clocked Gaming ACX 2.0 6GB GDDR5

• Kingston HyperX FURY Black 16GB Kit (2x8GB) 2133MHz DDR4 Non-ECC CL14 DIMM Desktop Memory (HX421C14FBK2/16)

•EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 80+ GOLD, 850W ECO Mode Fully Modular NVIDIA SLI and Crossfire Ready Power Supply 220-G2-0850-XR

• Gigabyte LGA1151 Intel Z170 2-Way SLI ATX DDR4 Motherboards GA-Z170X-Gaming 7

• Intel Boxed Core I7-6700K 4.00 GHz

• Corsair 540 computer case

• WD 1 tb hard drive. 500 Gb SSD. ( Note both hard drive and SSD was given to me as a gift so already paid ed for)

Still picking a monitor might go with 1440p 60 hz. Or a 1080 144 hz monitor.

If you have no plans for OC then you don't need a K CPU or a Z170 board. A non K and H170 will work fine. The PSU is a bit of overkill too. a 550/600W would still be plenty. Other than those it looks fine

Parts list looks good, I think it will handle 1440p fine, just don't expect more than 100fps if you're playing at above 1080p.

I think the bottleneck in your machine is going to be the SDD, unless it has read/write speeds of more than 400MB/s. Something like the Samsung SSD 850 Evo series would not cause this bottleneck because it runs in the 500-530MB/s range of speeds.

they are very good for gaming, but why go 6700k if you dont plan to overclock? (also btw, its a very easy chip to overclock)

Looks like an extremely solid high end build that would max out just about any current games at 1080 or 1440p ~60fps. All high quality parts and nothing conflicts. That 850 watt power supply is a little over kill but it leaves you rooms for expansion to another graphics card if you wanted later. Keep in mind EVGA's step-up program as well since you're getting an EVGA graphics card. Google EVGA's step up program for more info but basically if Pascal drops within 90 days after your purchase you can get your money back and upgrade to Nvidias new Pascal cards. As for the monitor it's personal prefrence. I love my 144hz for csgo so I'd go with that but like I said it's about what you want and like!

Right, but what if he gets bored with this machine in a few years, decides to sell it and build another one? Then the higher power supply would provide expandability and the 6700K would likely still be a good CPU even a few years from now although it would no longer be at the top of the market. The aftermarket cooler also will work as a selling feature in case the future buyer wants to OC.
