Opinions on a sytem build. Probly will buy today

[ScrewySqrl]

Tax return was deposited in my acct yesterday (yay!) so I'm pretty much ready to buy.

i7-6700 sold out everywhere, except amazon where its a $40 premium. Buuuut there's a newegg combo deal on Xeon E3 1230 v5 and Gigabyte X150 for $400, which is comparable to the 330 +70 for the i7-6700 and B150 board. also the $59 toshiba drive is a daily special today only. I'll buy an SSD (480 GB) via my $169 in amazon gift cards. so that's effectively free

how does this look, as much of this expires today if I don't get it.

its $839 before the rebates (on GPU and PSU). the 2133 Memory is CAS-13 but could be swapped a a couple less buck for 2400 CAS 15

PSU was a firecracker, but the rest of it looks great!

Rosewill's ARC series have always been decent PSUs, made by ATNG. not Superflower or Seasonic, but not diablotek or other PSU-shaped IEDs ether

Definitely decent budget oriented units, with all the same fail safe features you'd expect.

I like the motherboard. Has the important bells and whistles for a mild price. The case, although I don't like the aesthetic, has a great feature to price ratio! And yeah, the 6700's only claim to fame was going to be via a bclk adjustment while still paired with a Z170 mobo. Looking grim for even that now lol
