I recommend getting a SSD for the OS and getting a different 3TB drive. 5400RPM is "slow" and the drive is meant to be used in a RAID config (hence the NAS designation).

But it really depends on what you will be using it for.

I think you want >>>/g/ anon

Case corsair 600c carbide inverse

Gigabyte z170x gaming gt

I7 6700k

Nvidia 980ti

Noctua 14s cooler

Corsair 750 rm gold certified modular

Samsung 256gb 950 pro ssd

Then spring for a cheaper brand ssd for storage or raid like kingdian etc

>>
>>999696
Why would you get a non 6700k and invest in everything else for over clocking. Are you retarded?

>>999674
The correct board for this is nowadays >>>/wsr/
>>
>>999640
If you plan on playing games with it i suggest going with a 980ti or better. Trust me. You will regret not going with top of the line when you buy it.
>>
>>999640
If you are not going to OC, go with a cheaper mobo.
Are you going to be only gaming, do you really need an i7?
Swap out that HDD for an SSD
No one uses discs anymore, no need for a drive.

Wait until the 1070/80 get released (non founders), and grab a used 980ti for $300

> no need for a disc drive
Unless you have an os on a flash drive you will need a disc drive for an hour or so if you want to use your computer.
Also if windows is your OS it won't had drivers for your network adapter, if they come with your mobo on a cd then you will be grateful for a drive.

If you are prepared and put it all on a flash drive then sure but its handy to usage a spare kicking around when its convenient
>>
>>1001128
you can get windows iso though? with drivers.
>>
You don't need an i7. Get a decent i5 and use the money saved to get a better GPU.
>>
>i7
>960
Are we being fucking trolled
>>
>>999640
>Budget hdd
Get an m2 ssd
That piece of shit will be lucky to get up to 100mbps vs an intel ssd that can get up to 1200mbps
