Planning on rebuilding my pc

[Harry_10]

Im planning on rebuilding my pc I plan to keep a few things from this one my grahpics card gtx 970 4gb, power supply 550w, wifi card, hhd, ssd, dvd writer and reader.


I plan on getting a new motherboard, Ram and CPU, Also if i get these would i need a bigger case I want to go intel motherboard and a good one. I have £450 to spend on this and as the G-Card is off the list and otherstuff it should be possible

Could you please suggest me the Best I5 CPU, Maybe case, and motherboard and Ram i can get for this Thanks

An i5-6600K, Z170 motherboard, CPU cooler and 8GB DDR4 should all fit in that budget.

This is the most recent intel processor on the market. IT would work, but you will need to buy an aftermarket cooler, as it does not come with a stock cooler.

The i5 is a much better value than the i7, virtually no-one needs the i7.

Ok thanks Also that cooler looks good the reason im basiclly rebuilding is recently i put a 860k cpu in the pc wich has no upgrade path, and the pc just black screens randomly during gaming and ive found no fixes

1) *Don't forget Windows. It's non-transferable from the old setup.

(You can find cheap copies if you look close. Or look for W7/W8.1 if cheaper and just use the code. You can create your own W10 install disc via the MS Media Creation tool.. google. I've heard people getting W10 for $20USD).

2) 2666MHz CL16 is optimal (read an indepth report on that. Must be dual-channel so two or four sticks. I recommend 2x8GB)

That's my two cents.

Here's the motherboard info:
Asus: https://www.asus.com/ca-en/Motherboards/MAXIMUS-VIII-RANGER/
Review: http://www.pcgameware.co.uk/reviews/motherboards/asus-maximus-viii-ranger-motherboard-review/ (GOLD AWARD)

Sometimes the cost is worth it. The board isn't too expensive and has nice quality, great audio etc.

The Cryorig H7 is a pretty good cooler, and the Asus fan control software works really well.

Update:
Going from an 860K CPU you should see a 40% boost or more in some games, noticeable improvement for MOST, as well as SMOOTHER gaming (percent of LOW FPS due to CPU bottleneck issues will decrease with the new Intel CPU).

I dont plan on changing my ssd or hdd, so surley i wont need to reset my windows, all i plan to do is change the motherboard, cpu and cooler and ram

 

[ComputerSecurityGuy]

Nope, changing the motherboard is what Microsoft defines as getting a new computer.

Yeah but surley I can just get my Key i have not and take it off the old one and put on new??

 

[ComputerSecurityGuy]

Nope, unless you have a retail copy. That's Microsoft for you.
