My last build was an Antec 182 with Q6600 7 years ago, helped by comments in this forum. Its time for an upgrade and the PC will be used for Visual Studio (heavy duty multi core programming), photoshop and as well as for some light gaming. Also looking to have 2 x 4k 28" monitors in the next couple of months so would like it to handle this (not for gaming but for work).
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor (£289.14 @ Aria PC)
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U14S 55.0 CFM CPU Cooler (£48.10 @ Aria PC)
Thermal Compound: Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver 3.5g Thermal Paste (£11.27 @ Overclockers.co.uk)
Motherboard: MSI Z170A GAMING M7 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (£164.98 @ Amazon UK)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory (£77.48 @ Aria PC)
Storage: OCZ Vertex 4 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 750 Ti 4GB Video Card (£113.71 @ Amazon UK)
Case: Corsair 750D Airflow Edition ATX Full Tower Case (£131.99 @ Aria PC)
Power Supply: EVGA 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply (£90.11 @ Amazon UK)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro OEM (64-bit)
Total: £926.78
I have no plans to overclock right now but went with the Skylake for the lower voltage and higher clock as well as the 8 threads will be enough for the programming work I do... MSI M7 I think comes with a lot I don't need but really want a solid MB with good audio and this seemed to tick the box, it also supports m.2 PCIe SSD's which is a possible for the future. Looked at others with a lower price point and they didn't seem solid enough. The case will be under my desk on the right so in view but not as a showpiece. Needs to look professional and 750D airflow fits the bill.
Suggestions welcome on all this
. I can spend more, I am more than happy to spend less so putting it to you guys for a review
