This is what I've decided on for my first build, I'm open to suggestions or changes and I'm wondering what you guys think.
>>
>>57400973
Get 2x4gb for dual channel. I would say the PSU is overkill but it's AMD so maybe not.
>>
Get a cheaper motherboard and case. Instead use the money to get 32 GiB of RAM.
>>
Why not the k edition to allow oc
>>
>>57401058
>falling for the OC meme
>>
>>57401067
Is oc really not worth?
>>
>>57401103
People buy CPUs that turbo boost to 4 GHz and OC to 4.3 GHz, what is the point? What are you using that for?
>>
>>57401058
>paying to overclock
>overclocking at all
>>
>>57401103
>Pay $50 premium for a K CPU
>Pay $80 premium for a good Z170 board
>Pay $80 premium for a better cooler
>Pay $50 premium for a higher tier PSU
And all you get is like 20% higher performance and that also comes at the cost of a much higher power consumption.
>>
>>57400973
>full tower.

why do you need all that space?
>>
>>57401122
I see. Isn't it so you always have the boost so you are #Ready2Game. Because turbo only under high loads
>>
>>57400973
That's a non-k cpu so get a cheaper motherboard.
If you want a disk drive go to a store that sells used computer parts and buy one there or rip one out of an old computer.
>>
>>57401171
Not really.

Note: If you want to play games on ultra, this build is not for you.

Notice I force it to only get prices from Amazon or Newegg; I hate having to go to different sites. Also no mail-in-rebate bullshit because that's normally a ridiculous headache anyways and you just end up getting swindled sometimes.

I made this a long time ago and it suited my needs quite well. Upgrade the CPU to an 8350, the graphics card to whatever you want, and the HDD to an SSD.
If you're going to go for a better motherboard, change the case to a fractal design define r4 or r5. Fantastic case (I prefer windowless).
It's more a budget gamer built, but I do more game programming than gaming. Your video card and your cpu are the most important aspects of a gaming PC; RAM is cheap so get 8gb or 16gb.
If you use an SSD, set your pagefile to the same amount as your RAM and change your default BSOD behavior to do a small memory dump rather than a full one. Always have your pagefile on your fastest disk; some people say to use a ramdisk but its a bad idea. Your temporary folders should be on your SSD too, as should your programs, but most data (like movies, tv shows, music) should be put on a HDD. You can use LinkShellExtension to make virtual "wormholes" (links), which will make it easier to put a music library on your backup drive but to put a link on your main drive where the data would normally be. This is helpful in cases where an application is expecting your data to be on your SSD where you may want to save precious SSD space and put it on your backup HDD instead.

You can O.C the non-k 6th gens on z170 mobos. He just needs to buy a hyper212 for 20$ and he's golden.
>>
>>57401058
Skylake non-K can OC just as K does.


Why are there so many people who don't even know this?

Every single thread with skylake CPU, there's always someone who doesn't know this basic fact.
>>
>>57401320
Didn't Intel put a stop to that? You'd need it to have an old firmware, and I wouldn't count on that.

Some motherboards allow it even after. Others need older bios.

Not a very thing to do at all.

Where's the list? Or do I need to play lottery?

Google is your friend. Your best friend. Your sexual partner. Your mother. Your father. Your teacher.

All you need to do is type in "skylake non-k oc"

99% of the time, the answer is on the first page.

Do NOT get that corsair psu. I sent that same model back for a supernova due to the loud coil whine. Amazon reviews have a bunch of people saying the same thing. Supernova at same wattage was actually 10$ less and had a higher energy star rating.

Also

EVGA G2 PSUs are great. They have a 10 year warranty. DO NOT get a G1, even if its significantly cheaper.

Much better and basically the same price.

>>57401816
The shop from which I want to buy all my parts and also make them assemble it only has the G1. Is it really that bad compared to G2 or what.

Change the 6500 to @ 6600K with a meme Hyper 212, change Poo480 to a 1060, and you can get a cheaper 500w bronze/gold PSU.

its a good place to find a lot of good deals if you happen to find a fury x around $300 get that instead of the rx 480. Normal fury is good too its been on sale for about ~$250 recently.

dumb fuck. the older nonK OC bios r readily available for most asrock,asus z170 boards.
>>
>>57402258
OP if you plan to nonK OC the cpu, go ahead and get 2x4gb 2400mhz or faster ram.
>>
>>57401541
>>57401610
I know because I have done it (and regretted it). You can search and dl the old BIOS from any mobo vendor on forums if you're not a potato. The only problem is this was essentially a hack started by ASSRock (everyone else just copied it to claim a matching feature) but the non-k chips were never made to handle this and shit the bed with various features not working at all and massive power draw vs speed increase.

tldr If you want fast speeds for gaymz don't cheap out just get the k SKU CPU.
>>
>>57402329
>massive power draw
>>
>>57402329
retard. the only thing thats disabled is the igpu (which is not suitable for gaming anyways) and crippled avx support (literally no apps will use this). otherwise a nonk i5 6400/6500/6600 at a certain clockspeed will offer the exact same performance as a similarly clocked 6600k.
