I am the definition of novice when it comes to this stuff. I've done lots of reading on this site and a couple of others to work on gaming PCs for my 2 boys.
Please tell me what y'all think of this parts list. Any changes, places where I can save by scaling something down, what I'm missing? I haven't chosen a case, so some opinions would be appreciated. Monitor, keyboard, speakers, we have. Do I need a sound card? I'm thinking Windows 10 for operating. I also have an ASUS Essentio CG5270. Can I scavenge anything off of that? Thanks for any and all help!!
Here's my list so far:
CPU
Intel Core i5-6600K
CPU Cooler
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Motherboard
Asus Z170 PRO GAMING
Memory
G.Skill 16GB
Storage
Samsung 250GB SSD
Western Digital 1TB 7200RPM
Video Card
EVGA GeForce GTX 970
Power Supply
EVGA 850W
Optical Drive
Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS
