So im planning to upgrade build and currently have the :
gtx 1070
i5-6600k
asus z170 matx
850 watt powersupply

any tips or ideas for the rest of the build?

little side question is the CPU/mobo i have worth about 300-350 if i do end up buying it lightly used?

Which power supply are you looking at?

$350 is barely below the Amazon price in the US for the cpu/mobo combo, so it depends on what lightly used means and the warranty situation. The value is entirely dependent on you though.

Sorry about that to summarize the situation...
i currently have a gtx 1070/850 watt powersupply
and potentially buying a i5-6600k/asus z170 matx/coolermaster 5 case/250 gig samsung 850 evo SSD for $650 what i am trying to asking is, is it worth 650$ canadian for those 4 parts and if yes then what ram/cooling/etc do i go from there

p.s sorry my question asking is astronomically terrible

Haha "astronomically" might be a little harsh. I will be referring to all $ amounts in USD as that's where I am (although being in Minnesota I'm not too far from the border).

Do you have the specific name for the case? Typing just coolermaster 5 brings up several models with coolermaster and 5 in the titles, ranging from $59 to $149 on Newegg. Mastercase or MasterBox, perhaps? Or maybe it's an old model, but even they usually show up on Google.

Well I can't say for sure because while I can look at USA prices and convert them to Canadian dollars, that doesn't mean these parts are available at the same price after conversion in Canada.

In $USD here are the prices including shipping:

i5-6600k - $231
Z170 mobo ~ $175
Evo 250GB - $110
Your case ~ $85
TOTAL USD= $601 / CAN = $808 (new, assuming sale prices are equal)

So you're looking at theoretically $808 CAN new vs $650 CAN used, a roughly 20% savings over new. Without being sure about how the stuff was used and if warranties will still apply, I'd say NO. Save a little more and buy from a reputable Canadian retailer. Not only are the transfer of warranties questionable, but there will likely be no return option for used stuff from a private seller. Not worth the gamble in my opinion. Be patient and scrape up the extra dough- insurance always seems like a waste of money until you need it.

Let's get into what else your system will need after you actually have bought one, yes? 🙂

I'd say the system you were looking at is a nice rig. I'm assuming you're a gamer like myself? :) Let's talk about your budget and what types of games you play. Also, knowing your monitor's resolution is huge- it can make a big difference in how your system performs. A 1070 is a nice start. Tell me what brand/model this 850W psu is?

Ok so my current PC setup is as follows:
-random case that I got from a friend (not really improtant i think since buying new one)
-random 8 gb ram not ddr4 though which is what everyone seems to go for now
-amd fx 83500 cpu
-750 Watt corsair PSU
-gtx 1070 GPU
-random mobo (definelty needs replacing does not run intel i was told from a friend)
-and a cheap fan

DDR4 is a fad. No appreciable performance from DDR3- unless you're one of those gifted folks who can discern between 100ms (that's MILLIONTHS of seconds).
Your AMD processor is pretty weak by today's standards however- 3570K walks all over it and that's 5 years old.

OK my friend, you will need a new mobo ($99 USD buys plenty). i like Gigabyte- good value.
At least an i5 chip (i7 for editing and only makes a noticeable gaming diff in a few games)
