Please let me know if this build is ok

OP here. Do I need anything else at all? Is the motherboard compatible etc etc.
>>55081103
You have two EVOs listed, get the new model
Why is everything so expensive?
Install Gentoo, not Windows
Go for 16GBs of RAM
Get an 850 evo
>Wait for Zen
>Wait for Pascal lower tier cards / RX480
> :^)
>>55081396
Everything is in NZ dollars so probably seems more expensive if you are American.
Here is the updated list: http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/ssJGXH
>>55081103
If you install gentoo it'll be ok.
>>55081103
My god, everything is so expensive. You could probably get away with a h170 board since you dont have a k series processor. I dont think you can have multiple gpus with h170, you would have to look that up.
Over here in the states corsair 3k cl15 ram is really cheap for the bandwidth, check it out. Wait for 480/470, the 750 is getting old.
First replier here, what is the purpose for the PC? Because you have a locked CPU and an expensive as hell motherboard, originally assumed it was for gaming hence the 16GBs of suggested RAM (turn RAPID on) but the 750ti is 2 generations old and fairly weak
>>55081604
What's wrong with windows?
>>55081635
Purpose is for gaming and programming. Should I look at a more expensive graphics card? Anything you would recommend?
>>55081658
Just grab the most expensive thing in your price range that you can afford, 1070 looks nice but AMD cards are just about to drop
>>55081658
Depends on your budget. Current gen: 380/x. Thats not too god awful more expensive than your choice. Wait one month: 480
>>55081634
I am in New Zealand so everything will be more expensive. Is there a site in the states that I would be better to go through and then have it shipped?
>>55081723
I live in the UK and speaking from experience import tax ass rapes you, may be different in your country however
Updated list:
http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/xnHsYr
>>55081723
I have no idea about that friend-o. That corsair 3k cl 15 is about $65-70 over here :-(
You could save money by getting a cheaper motherboard
>>55081748
You will be much more happy with a 380 vs 750. Or you could wait for the 480. You could get a h-series mobo, if you only want one gpu, and don't have a k series. It would make that still a bit cheaper now you have a 380.
>>55081751
What is a corsair 3k cl 15?
$70 USD is $100 NZD.
>>55081748
A lot of mobos have integrated wifi and bluetooth these days, might not need that network adapter
if you're a student you're almost definitely eligible for some discount on windows 10
everyone is eligible for free lunix though :-) (but much fewer games, and much way worse amd drivers, so buyer beware)
Updated motherboard:

>>55081889
nice, that looks great, buy it now before anyone else can reply
>>55081888
Yeah that is my problem with Linux, I have a mac laptop and the range of options are just too limited for my liking which is why I want Windows. I don't mind paying $160 for a legit copy.
>>55081889
You need to save the list and give us that link
Here we go
http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/Zn799W
>>55081900
>>55081953
+1, buy it before shills make you doubt your perfectly fine computer
>>55081991
You're making me doubt my computer lol
>>55081910
go to reddit or kinguin and buy a $40 license. or buy a $20 w7 license, and upgrade.
>>55081953
you don't need an after cooler for a non-k cpu
you don't need 16GB of ram
you don't need an expensive motherboard, go for a h110m
you must be retarded to spend on a graphics card with a new generation about to be released. in any case, wait so old models get cheaper if merchants believe they can overcharge you on the new one.
>>55082017
You get the people that shit on other brands and act totally subjective, with the help of myself and other anons we've helped you design an objectively good PC
If I were you I'd wait for zen but people have been waiting for year and have been disappointed by AMD CPUs, a skylake CPU is a safer choice
> :^)
>>55082047
I semi-agree with everything but the 16 gb. That's a shit opinion. I have a 8gb ddr4 kit I had for 3 months. Should have gone 16 to start with.
>>55082082
Same, /g/ actually memed me into getting 8gb. Oh well, still have 2 empty slots...
I mean 16gb will be more than enough in the near future at least?
>>55082047
>you don't need an after cooler for a non-k cpu
Done.
>you don't need 16gb of ram
I don't mind paying a little bit extra for the extra 8gb.
>go for a h110m
The h110m's are only like $50 cheaper. Again, I don't mind paying extra for this.
>must be retarded, new gen cards etc etc
Yeah I think I might wait, depends how long until release though I guess.
Updated list:
http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/YcxP6X
>Changed to the Corsair Vengeance because that picture with no context convinced me to.
>Removed cooler.
>>55082207
It has more bandwidth 3000mhz vs 2133mhz, for cheaper than the hyperx. (at least here in the states)
>>55082207
If you get a Z170 MB check at least if it can OC non-K CPUs.
>>55082273
Also like to add that in this case an aftermarket cooler will be necessary..
>>55082273
They shut that down months ago. Only option is to find the correct bios online, and flash it to your mobo. Kinda iffy. And no prime95, or other stability issues that may or may not be present in the microcode. i.e. not worth the $3-40 a k series would be extra.
Final draft?
http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/hmLHxY
>>55082310
Modern bios are pretty simplified, though I guess it is kinda risky.
>>55082377
I would just not get a graphics card (and live with the integrated graphics on your i5 for a while, it's not /that/ bad, at least on 6600[k] anyway), those parts are fine but the RX 480 and friends are around the corner -- like 3 weeks apparently? Even if you don't get it, it will hopefully cause price drops
>>55082377
Mistake, I updated the Ram to 3000mhz
http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/Bqbxr7
>>55082449
If it is only 3 weeks I will 100% wait. Earliest I would get this build would be the week after next anyway so I can definitely wait a couple weeks after that.
>>55082377
That's a quality build, you should be happy with it. I still have issues with the w10 and the wifi card. I assume you have done research, and concluded that particular model has good linux support or something.
Here is my suggestion, but its your money:
http://www.kinguin.net/software-games/
https://www.reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftwareswap/
>>55082451
your CPU supports up to 2133 MHz m8
>>55082475
Isn`t ram limited by the motherboard?
>>55082464
DO IT.
Twice the performance, half the power/heat, and the sameish price(200 in US) as the 380.(not that thats a bad card, better than a 960)
>>55082475
hahahaha wrong.
It's a simple bios option, thats 2 clicks to enable.
>>55082377
Dont forget the thermal compound. I suggest mx-7, non-conductive and lasts 7 years.
>>55082496
it is, and the mobo goes up to 2133MHz anyway, lol
>>55082521
only on z170 mobos that you can overclock with bclk, which isn't the one there?
in any case the difference between 2133MHz and 3000MHz in practise is a whole lot of $ and very little speed gains
>>55082593

>>55082593
Well I can come up with stupid pictures as well. But you may be right on the mobo. The blck is independent on skylake, that's why you can use high bandwidth memory on it. It's better than haswell-e's shitty memory controller. And you can overclock with an independant blck, it wont fuck so much with everything else in your system, until Intel shut it down.
But OP, dont get that board. It has the "killer" nic, which is a piece of dogshit. Seriously, google it. Go with a z series with an Intel nic. You can always upgrade to a i7, or Kaby Lake, with a z series.
On the ram again, that particular kit is way less expensive than all the others. Its sometimes the same as a 2133 kit. Why not get the better performing kit for the same $$? And if he uses the igpu until he gets his 480 or whatever, the faster speed would be actually useful.
>>55082752
wrong pic.
>>55082774
Is this the ONLY game that benefits from faster memory?
>>55082800
I wont tell how that graph is deceiving, but memory actually does scale on games past 3k. 1-3fps usually. But its is also useful in other shit as well, apart from gayming. That kit (in the us) is as often the same $ as a 2133 kit.
>>55082467
I have done very minimal research. I think you are right about w10. I will look at your other options for that. I can't find much info about whether or not that motherboard has a wireless adapter so figured I would probably need one.
>>55082774
>>55082796
>no mention of timings
>no mention of command rates
>>55083302
Whatever you do, dont get a killer nic.
Really unimpressed with gigabyte for that reason.
Many models have wifi onboard now, it wont take up a pcie slot also. They have antennas similar to that model, or have detachable wires that screw into the mobo, and a small square antenna about 3"x3" that you can move about.
>>55083362
>I have no idea how bandwidth vs latency works
That kit is usually the sameish $ as a 2133 cl15 kit.
Ok guys, we have a finalized list.
http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/HQMrHN
>Will buy windows from leddit
>Will buy 480/470 when it is released.
>>55083444
looks good
>>55083444
Don't say I didn't warn you of the "killer" nic. Good luck, peace out, etc...
>>55081634
>http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/ssJGXH
You can have up to 2 GPU's on the current skylake architecture
>>55083475
Whats a killer nic
>>55083475
Ok I know what it is now. What type of mobo would you suggest instead?
Thoughts on my one?
In Kangaroo bucks BTW
http://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/6bGVdC
>>55083614
OP here. What the fuck. Why is your shit so cheap?
>>55083517
It can really be dependent on the mfgrs's design choice. The h series has 20 lanes vs 26 avaliable, and 8 vs 10 usb options.
>>55083520
Realtek's network interface card, aka your ethernet jack. It's shit. Get anything other than that. Looking around, Gigabyte has nothing but killer or a combo of killer+intel nics. I would look at anything other than gigab, personally.
>>55083793
Have replaced it with an MSI one. Is this one all good?
http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/v6jgsJ
>>55083614
disgusting killer nic, no onboard wifi, and why do you need another wired network card?
>>55083836
Not too bad. No onboard wifi, but whatever.
>>55083853
What's wrong with my nic? Don't you need a wired to access wired networks?
>>55083736
I have no idea, I just put what i wanted into the system and this is what it gave me for the prices, maybe Australia is cheaper?
Anything else wrong with it?
>>55083916
dude, you already have one on your motherboard. Why do you need two?
>>55082160
Games are starting to trickle out demanding 16gb ram for max settings. Devs at star citizen have actually claimed they may utilize as much as 32gb memory pools. But that seems farfetched, even if they do already have their money and intend to use literally every single technology available.
Lunatics are going to make something that requires a Nvidia / Radeon mixed gpu setup with 8c/16t cpu, and 32gb of ram to realize it's true glory.... Supposedly.
>>55083955
Removed, anything else I should be aware of?
>>55083902
How about this:
http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/D9Qxr7
>>55084049
either one of those mobos are probably fine.
Keep in mind that expensive ac band wifi card might not be needed unless you have super high speed connection. The connection between your router and your computer will be fast, but if you don't have a fast home connection, it might be a bit of a waste.
I don't like arctic silver. It's conductive, so if you get it on the pins or wherever, it could be an issue. mx-7 is hard to beat.
>>55083955
Faster with two motherboards.
>>55084020
why do you need two dvd drives?, and you need to order a kit of 4x4gb, or 2x8gb. They are matched together as a set, and work better that way. I cannot comment about prices or your questionable headset. But the 970? cmon man.
>>55084231
I looked for mx-7. Maybe I will just buy that separately.
I just bought a house and I plan on having a fiber connection.
>>55084388
Well look at Richie Rich over here
What about something like this ?
http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/BLNZLD
I'm open to any suggestions, I already have the cpu in hand.
>>55084447
fuck man, just get a mobo with an Intel nic, aka ethernet jack. The e2000 realtek "killer" nic is crap. I prefer air cooling, but whatever.
>>55084493
no one is actively seeking that shit, it just happened to be on a well rated mobo.
>>55084275
I use a lot of DVD's and Cd's. Whats wrong with the 970? What would you suggest instead?
>>55084516
You can google the results of that nic. It's not pretty. It's always on budget boards, also. Intel nics are first class, top grade, m8te.
>>55084555
Either 390 or wait for 3 weeks and get a 480 for $200 US that has probably much better perf than the 970.
>>55084557
i am open to suggestions, I really don't have any demands what it must include.
Possible an M.2 pcie connector for possible future expansion and but thats not even a must as some SSDs are just opting to use the pcie slots available to them.
I do have a CM 690 II case, I don't know if I should keep that case or get another one..
my old PC would be given away to a relative, so either way I would need a case (either new for them or for myself)
>>55084751
Out of curiousity, is there any particular reason you`re going with a full ATX Board?
>>55084781
Not really, I could just as easily go with an mATX board but I feel I will end up going with a mid sized tower anyways.
Lots of things are still up in the air, other than having the cpu in my possession I have no idea what I will be getting.
Other than making room for the 240mm radiator I dont feel i have any other requirements.
I would prefer to be able to fit in the radiator without having to take away bays from inside the case.
The last 4 systems i built (all for other people/family) were all matx builds..space would be tight to have a radiator at the top in the builds I did make
>>55084898
Wait, weren`t you the one going with the 6500? Or are you the 6700k build?
>>55084929
its a 6700k
i'm not OP, just jumped into this thread since it was on the same topic.
>>55085007
Well, I don`t have any personal experience with Raijintek. But they have a couple really nice looking microatx cubes for moderate prices.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=2AM-002C-00015
This one would actually fit that H100i cooler provided the hoses are long enough.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=2AM-002C-00007
Offers no real liquid cooling support but has enough space and airflow for air cooling.
I dunno, I`m really intrigued by a cube chassis, but am unfortunately trapped with full ATX boards for the time being.
If you want to go against everything /g/ tells you and get something flashy, I`m really digging the In Win 303 right now.
