Would you gents take a look at this build? I am looking to build a pc with a reliable motherboard and cpu as close to state-of-the-art as can be. I intend to improve this pc over the years by upgrading the video card, adding ram, and so on. With that in mind, I think I chose a very high-end cpu, a rock solid mother board, and a great case that should allow for the expansion and upgrading I intend to do over the years. Your opinions, suggestions, and critiques are welcome and appreciated more than you know.

how much money do you have to spend?
>>59228914
I'm looking to spend around $1500 to $1600. That build was around $1560 when I first put it together.
>>59228939
Why dont you go kaby lake 7700k then?
>>59228967
Done. Not sure why I had the 6700k in there. What are your thoughts on that motherboard?

There's a reason they sell memory by the 2. It's a feature on that motherboard...
>>59229349
no reason to since he said he wanted to upgrade later.
2x16 is superior.
>>59229357
Or 4 x 8.
When was the last time you actually used all 4 slots?
Usually by the time I'm upgrading that much RAM it's time for a new processor and motherboard..

$500 budget
just have a t60 thinkpad I got 5 years ago. Sold my last gaming computer in 2013 to buy a car.
Now kinda back on my feet but now college student with limited funds. Want something that will be able to play gaymes again but also be decent for basic CAD & other 3D design software.
Nothing insane, just something I can do some of my school work at home if needed. I have a 128gb samsung SSD in my thinkpad I'm going to put into the new build to use as a boot drive and put the old HDD back in the thinkpad.
I dont think I'll play many new intensive games but I do plan on playing Killing Floor 2, Fallout 4, and the Far Cry2-4. Otherwise most games I'd play would be older.
Should this suffice? I'm hoping it to get me through 2-4 years of basic use and some gaming. I'm just hoping for mid level performance. I'd be happy in the games I mentioned at medium graphics pulling 30-40fps.
Plunged and got the 1700x

I'm sure ill regret it but whatever. 80% gaming 20% productivity though only maybe 5% of that productivity will really put any load on a modern computer.
I already ordered everything. How much buyer's remorse will I have?
Worth noting I'm carrying over the HDD and 840 SSD from my current computer. Also I didnt actually get that cpu cooler, just closest priced one on pcpartpicker to the one I bought that they dont display.

looks preddy gun anon.
This is actually a situation I'd suggest if you had the extra funds - getting a cheap AMD 8core like an FX8350. It'd perform well enough for you in games and be much better for things like AutoCAD & Blender.
That said though the Intel will still do well and probably better in gaming. More than enough for a student's homework computer.
My friend had a very similar budget build I did for him - the only difference being a GTX1050i and just a 500gb ssd. We play Planetside 2 together and he averages on high graphics 40-50 fps - and Planetside is a VERY cpu intensive game. The g4560 is a beast for its price.
