Which Skylake build should I go with

[Guest]

I made a starter build that I'm giving to my uncle and I'm now looking to build an up to date pc. I have 2 Skylake builds from Pcpartpicker and I'm stuck on which to choose. I've read many mixed reviews on which brand I should go with on each component. I'm fairly new to pc gaming (6 months in fact) so I'm looking to you for your guys' expertise. Which components do I need to change, if any are necessary.

I'm planning on overclocking a bit and price is not an issue.

Also some things are already purchased. Some were from my previous build but the PSU I bought recently. If anybody is wondering why I'm keeping things from my last build if I'm giving it to my uncle it's because he hates windows 8+ so he's getting his own windows 7.

Here they are:

Thank you in advance. I appreciate the help.

I'd go with the second build.

I don't recommend getting MSI motherboards, they have a poor reputation for quality control. On top of that, the Asus Z170-A is a very good board, and the overall build is very solid.

hey Indigo. Both of your builds are good enough for overclocking. Just add an SSD and you're done. Now the main difference between both builds as I hope you know are the motherboards. Now personally i would go for the ASUS motherboard because of its expand-ability which is the only and main difference between both boards. and i am talking about SATA ports. You never know when you are gonna need'em. So I vote up the second build! Hope this helped.

I vote for the second build because it is cheaper, if you want a higher class board than the 170A really the next step is the Asus Maximus VIII boards like the Ranger and/or the Hero.
I would use the ram and GPU out of the first build though.

Thank for the advice but when I said a starter build I mean fx 6300 and 600W Corsair cm brand kind of build. Something I assume people would look down upon.

Thanks. That's what I was going for. I've been researching for a month and needed an opinion from someone who knows their stuff.

Thank you. I'll definitely go with the second build and of course add an SSD. I was going for a color theme with both and think having a white build will be a nice touch.

Alright. Good Luck with the build!
