Pic related tripped me out because I have the same card, not too great by itself but the pic made me think two would be so much better, sadly idk where to find another
>>
If you're just gaming get an i5 and 2x4 ram instead. Looks good otherwise, though I didn't look terribly hard
>>
If all you're doing is gaming get an i5. The other difference from the i5 to i7 is hyperthreading, and games don't really use that.

Get a different brand psu, and 1000 watts is way overkill. Get a decent seasonic or EVGA Supernova psu. In all honesty 600 watts is enough, get 800 or so if you still wanna be overkill for whatever reason.

Otherwise it's fine.
>>
Whats the budget OP?

>wireless card (wait a minute!)
>paying to use wifi (srsly?)
>gaming case (fukwat?)
>gaming mobo (kek)
>hyper ram (kek, get the same ram for cheaper by buying valueram (ram sold at a price closer to it's actual value))
>>
>>51721585
i'd double check to see if the cpu comes with a heatsink, last i heard 6***k cpu's didn't come with them
>>
>inb4 shitposts about wireless

Not everyone is going to run a wire down some stairs and/or drill holes through the walls and floor.
>>
I have a question.

I was going to buy a pre-built because I'm lazy and know little on how to build a pc.
How can you tell if the parts are compatible with each other? I doubt you can buy whatever and they just werk.
>>
>>51727619
get a console
>>
You don't want a wireless adapter that only supports wireless N. Look for one with wireless AC
>>
>>51727798
I do already. I wanna be mustard race now.

Damn degenerate.

Since your cpu is unlocked you may want a better cpu cooler if you intend to OC which I assume you are.>>51729406


Don't get Windows 10. Stick with 8.1 or 7.

Everything else checks out. If you're using it just for gaming you can easily downgrade to an i5 and 8gb of ram and spend the extra cash on a ssd or upgrading the cpu cooler.

Faggot

I got

6700K i7
MSI GTX 980 TI
Asus Z170a Pro Gaming
1TB WD Black
500GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD
Same memory as you
550W Seasonic Gold
Pure wings 2 140MM two times

I first wanted the same mobo as you
The MSI Z170A Pro Gaming
But i went with the Asus one, because i read lots of negative shit about the MSI one.
>>
>>51729805
I have the ASUS z170 Pro Gaming and I would not recommend it. The first one I received did not work properly and it seems it is a common issue. Newegg sent me a replacement but it was a major pain in the ass.
>>
>>51729805

Also forget
Scythe Mugen 4 CPU cooler.

Don't listen to the fags telling you to get 2x4 GB instead and cheapskate out on 50 bucks extra.

Yesterday while playing GTA 5 on ultra while downloading Hardline on the backround and TS3 etc, my PC used 7,6GB ram.

Sooner or later you will surpass the 8GB mark, especially with games like The Division.
>>
>>51729835

Lel, in that case OP they both suck.
>>
>>51729242
serious business kid.
>>
If for some reason you can't seem to grasp the simple concept of putting shit together yourself, try googling LanHAUS and get them to do it.

They built a friend's computer when I told him I couldn't be arsed to bother with my work schedule and they did him right, good price and good service. They'll build whatever you tell them to and barely charge for labor.
>>
This is my first build and I'm worried my case won't support some of my parts, can anyone help?
