NIgger why are you getting a z270 mobo for a fucking skylake (should be z170). Your RAM alone will be $200 if you're lucky, too.
Idk about the PSU but don't be a dumbass like be and get one because "it's $70 after the rebate" buy a solid one with at least a 5/7/10-year warranty
Sucks you have a 970 but it's not -horrible- you will probably be able to play most games on 1080p/Ultra or Very High for several more years.
>>
>>59362758
Also just save yourself $100 and get an i5 6600k/7600k. There are some games that take advantage of a faster processor but those are usually faggot games anyways.

and plug in all your materials, that'll give you a good figure for your total.. less the cost of the 970 you already have.

I'm rocking an asus z170 but had some issues OC'ing. Either I'm retarded or the mobo is. I simply took it off because my fucking computer was starting but the USB ports weren't turning on, making me restart it. It still does it even after turning the OC off, occasionally.
That's a damn good deal on the 6700k too, probably would have bought one for that if I had the chance. Don't fall for the 480 bullshit either, it's pretty much a sidegrade to/from the 970. Honestly going to a used 980ti or 1070 would be the only smart 'upgrade' on the GPU side of things.

1. I got my CPU for 275 not 317
2. I got my GPU for 180 not 369
3. I got my ram for 188 not 275
4. I got my PSU for 99 not 117

So thats 336 less...

So for 65 more dollars (the cost of a blow job from your mom) I got a better rig than you and wont be upgrading it in the more near future as you..

Dont worry. WHen you grow up and get a big boy job you can shrug off 65 dollars also

Hey guise can someone make me build , I'm thinking a workstation type of thing, where I can run several VMS and stuff, also chrome with a bunch of tabs and I only play CSGO so something that can run that at max, with no drops should be fine.

$180 gets you an 8gb RX480.

For $235 you can get an R9 Fury that's 80-95% as good as a 1070 which is twice as good as a 970.

970 was one of the most dog shit cards for the time it was released. All it had going for it was being fairly cheap, but still a bad value.

Which in 1440p is true. It's almost true in 1080, too.

The 970 was a horribly gimped card. Pretty much the worst card you could have bought at the time.

ok yeah i'll give you that. with disregard to 400 series that true.
and it is LIGHT YEARS better than his dog shit 970.
OP sell that card, get the sapphire, drop your power supply down to 750watts... and I am only saying keep the damn i7 cause you got it for 275 (if that is true and you aren't lying just to back up your mistake)

>who cares about 3-5 dollars a month diff in my bill that ill never notice
the issue is just the price difference between PSUs, I don't think you know anything about this. All of that stuff you listed is negligible, you're probably going to draw like 400W at max load in real life...

Are you trying to bait people, or are you actually this fucking dumb?

Any decent PSU has a 4-10 year warranty.

Your 850 watt PSU is going to be terribly inefficient in the 40-300watt range that your system will ACTUALLY operate in.
That's why people are telling you to get 600-750watt PSUs. Because htey know better than your stupid ass.

I don't know why the fuck you insist on arguing with everyone. Buyers remorse? That must be it.

Frankly just fuck off. Don't ask people "how's my build" when you're just going to tell 20 different posters in the thread that they're wrong and you're right.
>>
>>59371759
Thanks man. Maybe the first person who was nice and straight forward.
So if I take the other guys advice, get the SAPPHIRE AMD Fury, ditch the 970, I think I can swop out the 850 for the 750.. is the i7 over kill? I got a damn good price on it and I wont have to upgrade for at least 3 years, or should I swop it out? Any other help you are willing to offer? Thank again for being cool.
>>
>>59371889
A quick rundown on my personal opinion:

- go for a 7700k or wait a while to see how Ryzen R3 or R5 affect things
- go with a relatively high quality PSU (almost any "80-plus" PSU with a good warranty) of 600W or higher, you genuinely don't need more, this possibly will save you some money
- 32GB is unnecessary unless you're 100% sure you'll be using it for things like VMs, otherwise just get $16
- put those savings on PSU/RAM toward a better GPU like the 1080 Ti or the 1070 if you can fit them into your budget

I don't know about the mobo but I've only had good experiences with asrock personally
>>
>>59371955

>>59371889
RX480, R9 Fury, GTX 1070 are all much better than the 970. The R9 Fury is the best value for the money, while the RX480 is cheaper, and both the 480 and 1070 use less power and put out less heat.
The 970 is pretty much the worst card you could buy from that generation of cards from either AMD or Nvidia.

The 6700k is not overkill, 4c/8t is the minimum for high end gaming now days. the #700k and G4560 are the only Intel CPUs worth getting anymore.

Sell the shit memory and get 16GB of DDR 2666-3200 with less than 10ns of true latency.

And like literally everyone has said about the PSU.
You can get a 620W M12II Seasonic PSU for under $50. It's an extremely good PSU for ANY amount money.

The biggest things wrong with your build in order:
-970 is trash
-850W is way more than you need an inefficient in the ranges you'll use, plus costs twice as mcuh as a good 600-650W PSU.
-Twice as much RAM as you need unless you are a developer or artist. It's slow as shit RAM when you'd actually benefit from 16GB of faster RAM.

The rest of the system is fine.

The problem: You can get a good 600W PSU for $50 if you look around and/or wait for a good deal, and your system will probably never even go above 400 in practice
>>
>>59372467
People buy from the middle of the range if they aren't sure.

For some reason if you go to any parts website the middle is around 800W.

Unscientific but eg.
https://www.scan.co.uk/shop/computer-hardware/power-supplies/full-modular-power-supplies

Sort by price, scroll down to halfway, 850W.

In general, you benefit more from getting a silver/gold/plat 500-600W PSU than a generic 850W+ one. If you're gonna spend more money on a PSU and you don't need the extra wattage (which you probably don't and won't need in another 10 years) then it's better to just buy a more efficient one.

Cheeky cunts tricked us

Yea it seems in the money I spent on the PSU I could have spent on the RAM which makes me feel like a moran, but will it affect my vidya much? Anyone got some info On RAM?
>>
>>59372784
So OP. If you are still here.

We all basically agree. Decrease to 16GB unless you will be running VMs (regardless get better than 2133, and gett 2666-3200
Drop PSU to 750
Get AMD Rad 9 Fury

Come back and thank us. Your wallet will.

>>59372880
>but will it affect my vidya much
yeah in some games it will.
>>
>>59372887
Does it matter if I get 4x8GB or 2x16GB.. is there a performace diff if I were to do 2666 that way?
>>
>>59372936
Fuck, it said on the increments I would not need the 16 gig unless doing video editing stuff
>>
>>59372961
There's a very unnoticeable performance difference. I wouldn't recommend getting more than 32GB since anything even above 16 is useless even for gaming, so get 4x8 instead (or 2x16 if your mobo has only 2 slots).
A bigger performance difference would be getting an SSD.

>>59372990
>it said on the increments I would not need the 16 gig unless doing video editing stuff
That guide was written by a retard. You probably will be fine with 8GB but in a high-end system like yours you may as well not cut it close... and you could have fit it into the budget if you didn't go overkill on the PSU.

But again, don't listen to the Falcon tripfag, he's mentally retarded.

Why not just buy a decent card like an RX 480 or a 1060?

Best deal you'll get. So don't fuck it up and put a cheap ass fan

>>59362492
Lel your friend scammed the fuck out of you. The 970 is a literal broken piece of trash. Should have just taken the cash he owes you and bought a modern GPU with 4 GB of VRAM or more. :^)

Also

we all went over this already. stop being a lil bitch to people who post here. we want to help them.

literally just went through all of this and here walks in this cunt nugget being his normal cunty self after we all just said we want this to be a productive thread

go the fuck back to /r9k/

OP disregard this dick just trying to troll so we will pay attention to him
>>
>>59373732
there is nothing wrong with skylake with the newer z270 instead of the older z170. just calm down with your douchyness
>>
>>59373833
Where do you think this is, reddit? Fuck outta here.

>>59373856
There's no reason to pay for Z270 when you can probably get a Z170 at a more reasonable price but I can't be assed to confirm that.

>PSU wattage is too high
>Is that a problem people tend to make quite often?
Yes. That, getting an overpriced 4c/4t CPU, and too slow or high latency of RAM are the 3 most common mistakes people make.

The forth is getting a more expensive NVME drive that is the same speed as a cheaper SATA.

As for PSU, you want its usage to be no more than double the peak system output.
Since even a high end machine with a 1080Ti or R9 Fury (I say Fury since its power usage is higher than a 1070) won't usually draw over 300w, or much over, 600watt is pretty much perfect to be small enough but still allow for future proofing for people that still want to potentially overclock an 8core and get the dual GPU Vega or SLI.
Also, PSUs are often only 65-75% efficient at 10% draw. Newer computers usually idle at 40-55watts. 10% of 850 is only 850, so you can imagine an 850watt is very inefficient when idling.
And a good 600-650watt PSUs is usually half the price of a good 850w.
500-550watt is fine too, really, it's just that lots of really good models are made in the 600-650 range and they are cheap as it is.

If you REALLY want to spend $100+ on a PSU because money is no potion, then get a fanless 600watt one. They tend to be some of the highest quality PSUs since inefficiency = heat = need for fan.

I have 2 of the most power hungry components in my PC: a 7970, and Sandy Bridge. Even when I had 2 7970 in CF, I never went over 500watts. And a good PSU rated at 500watts is really usually good for 550+.

>>59372590
>Apart from initial cost tho is there any other benefit from getting a cheaper PSU?
Risk of a surge going through your surge protector and the cheap PSU not stopping it. I'm in FL, so a good PSU is a must due to thunderstorms.
But expensive PSUs aren't necessarily better, there. EVGA PSUs have gone down in quality the last few years. So has the lower end Corsair series like CX.

>Yea it seems in the money I spent on the PSU I could have spent on the RAM which makes me feel like a moran, but will it affect my vidya much?
Yes. Low latency DDR 2666-3200 can have up to a 15% affect in framerates in games compared to 2133 if the 2133 is high latency. Whereas the $65 extra you spent on a PSU does absolutely nothing and you'll need quad SLI to make use of it. But, Nvidia is not supporting anything over dual SLI from now on, so that PSU is completely worthless. You should return it.
If the RAM is 2133 with Cas latency of 10-11, it's fine... but I'm pretty certain that's not what you got.

>>59372961
>Does it matter if I get 4x8GB or 2x16GB.. is there a performace diff if I were to do 2666 that way?
Just get 2x8GB. If you aren't rendering, doing heavy development, or running VMs, there's no point in over 16GB. I saw this as a developer with 32GB, who rarely uses over 15GB.
But dual channel might be preferable in case you decide to switch to Ryzen since it's unlikely that Ryzen will support quad channel outside of server CPUs any time soon.

>>59373433
Why get a non-OC motherboard with a 7700k?

Either spend the 510€ for the Z270 board, or if you want something cheaper get a R7 1700 which should be around 100€ less since you can overclock it with a B250 equivolent AM4 motherboard and it comes with a cooler.
>>
>>59373732
>>59373911
No it's not reddit. You can scroll through comments in order to see OP already understands that the 970 is terrible.
>>
>>59374092
>LOL this shit costs pennies to produce
16GB of RAM is about $18 for the DDR4 modules themselves.
Add in transport costs to assemble onto DIMMS, validation, and transport to retailers, and that the vast majority of them won't OC to 3000mhz CL14, and it's quite a bit more. Not "pennies".
But yes. Computer components have significant markups. That's what drives the technology.

By late spring, DDR4 prices should go down a bit as capacity increases. Demand is crazy high now.
