This is my new pc build

[Cavemanrock]

Hey, I made a new build with a budget of 1500- 1600 dollars and i just wanted some opinion on my build and if i could change something to make it better.Please note that the price of the whole build is higher than my budget, but I am gonna buy the parts when there is a good sale on it.

Build: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/gxfdBm

Thanks in advance

There really aren;t ever big sales on PC components.

Also the PSU is a bad choice. Change it to an antec, XFX, seasonic, EVGA (G2,B2,GS)

 

[Cavemanrock]

ok thanks i will try to find a better one


Update: I can's seem to decide and I am not good at finding good PSU, is there any suggestions?

save yourself the extra almost 70 dollars and get the 6600 non K, now that you can OC non k series imo wasting more money on k series isn't worth it. Again imo upgrade the ram to 16gb.

 

[tiny voices]

Well, you cannot overclock them the same way. You still have more control over the K CPU and it is much easier to overclock.

Also, VERY few boards support overclocking non-K CPUs.

No need for 16gb RAM unless this is for rendering/encoding.

 

[Cavemanrock]

but is 16gb of ram even needed

 

[tiny voices]

No not at all for gaming.

Oh misread do to last forum I was reading, yeah really bad mistake on my end stick with the 8gb, as for the OC again I was saying IMO. Also OP are you planning on OCing the cpu and messing with voltage or are you just going to use the turbo boost only?

 

[Cavemanrock]

i dont plan on over clocking my cpu and probably just use the turbo boost

 

[tiny voices]

In that case get the i5 6500 and an h170 motherboard.

 

[Cavemanrock]

idk i feel like i wanna stick to the same motherboard and cpu( i5 6600)

What do you think about this psu?

 

[tiny voices]

Get the non-K version if you are not overclocking. Pointless to spend money on something you will never use.

Why do you want that motherboard?

Not a good PSU. Go with the brands I recommended.

 

[Cavemanrock]

A friend recommended it to me, but i am still thinking about it

Do you know anything that is better?

Yes. ANYTHING from my first post is better.

If you are not overclocking, a Z170 board is a waste of money.

Get an i5 6500 and an H170 board. Cheaper but EXACTLY the same performance.

 

[Cavemanrock]

ok i changed up the build and here is what it looks like now

[hiyabusared]

Since you saved a good chunk of money again imo update the monitor to a 120hz or above

 

[Cavemanrock]

ok any suggestions on any good monitors

If you are not overclocking, drop the CPU cooler. The Chip is only 65w and the stock cooler is more than adequate.

That PSU is good.

Also, no legit Windows 10 is $35.

 

[Cavemanrock]

i know a guy who has a key and is selling it for 35, but thanks for all your help

Any keys sold on Reddit/G2A/etc. are not-legal keys to sell. They are MDSN keys for developers and are blacklisted by Microsoft after a couple months and become invalid. Don't waste your time.

If it is less than $80, it is NOT a key which is legal to sell/buy.

 

[Cavemanrock]

ok am i able to use my key from my laptop

 

[tiny voices]

No you are not. That key is branded and tied to the laptop. Sorry.

 

[Cavemanrock]

ok thanks for the help
