That is a very odd build. An i7 6700k, gtx1080, and only 8gb's of RAM. I think you should cut some corners to get 16gb's.

 

[weberdarren97]

Two stars. One (not very enthusiastic) thumbs up.

I agree with what elbert said, this is an odd configuration.

You're using a single 120mm rad to cool a 6700K? That's gonna be loud.

You've paired an i7 with only 8GB of RAM? That seems inconvenient.

You've chosen a power supply that's not branded? That's just lack of research on your part. What happens when the warranty expires, and the next day the power supply takes a crap all over the machine and destroys everything except for CPU and RAM? I think you'd have a rather bad day.

 

[atomicWAR]

yeah 16gb is the bare minimum I would get for a gaming build at this point 8Gb is near worthless in today's modern games. PSU could be better and another point I might make in getting a quality one. Everything else looks good for a pre-built system.

 

[atomicWAR]

oops yeah you'll want a better cooler then a single 120mm rad.

🙁 I really want to buy from this site (under $1600) and don't know how to piece it together myself. This is sooooo frustrating! Can anyone list out everything that needs to change after looking at the specs. I feel insanely lost lol.

Right now all I see from comments are : 16+ GB of RAM
More fans: How Many? Which option should I select on the site?
PSU: Which one should I choose?

 

[weberdarren97]

What if you gave building it yourself a try? With newer hardware, it's about as complex as legos. And even if you do manage to screw something up, that's what warranties are for.

There's this wonderful site called PCPartPicker that will automatically make sure everything is compatible before you buy.

Sadly I am a little lazy to add a build today, especially when the two listed above are quality builds worth purchasing for your budget!

 

[uawildcat04]

Will a bigger "mm" cooling system help me out here? Any way I can ensure the case can fit it?

 

[Esdaname]

weberdarren97 is that good for motion graphics n 3d rendering

mm stands for millimeters. A longer radiator offers more cooling capacity. A small radiator will sometimes get the job done, but will be significantly louder because the fan will have to spin faster.

Yes, definitely. The i7 6700K offers four cores at 4GHz (stock frequency) and HyperThreading which means that it has eight total threads. According to Intel (and proved by Salazar Studio), each thread is able to make independent forward progress and does offer a significant performance boost in multi-threaded workloads like rendering and professional graphics. On top of that, the GTX 1080 is an absolute beast when it comes to rendering. It's high amount of CUDA cores coupled with the increased clock speed and other improvements thanks to the Pascal architecture allow it to outperform all previous Nvidia products in both professional rendering and gaming.
