So /b/, I am going to build my own PC. Primary use case: Gaming.

I have a budget of around £900 +/- £100. Show me what you would build. Bonus points for using PC part picker.

My recent build. If you want to throw in the little extra upgrade to a 1070 or go with a larger hdd or throw in an ssd.

No pcu cooler?
>>
Case has 3 fans and the CPU has a built in fan. If you are a game you won't need one. If you also do CPU intensive tasks consider a $25 cooler master. PC Runs sweet as hell also PC case is well ventilated and roomy so you have plenty of airflow. I get 90-200 fps on most games ultra. Rust gets a solid 60-70 but that's just rust being terribly optimized.
>>
>>690565298
Good to know, thanks for the heads up.
>>
>>690563768
Wait for Polaris
>>
>>690566377

As in the amd gpu? Isn't that end of this month?
>>
Do not wait for Polaris they've already said it won't be as powerful as the 1070. It's a budget card. They got their balls kicked in by the new coding of the 1000 series so they salvaged by calling it a budget chip. They will have a nice chip in a year though I'm sure.
>>
>>690566635

The word budget doesn't bother me. I am not looking to have the best computer out there (hence the budget), but best bang for your buck is always a good thing.
>>
Also jsyk the non K series chips are all cooled already the Skylakes aren't. If you told me your purpose for the PC I could help more. Built hundreds of PCs kind of a job/hobby.
>>
>>690566786
Just want to play games reasonably well, that is about it really.
>>
Yes but for your budget the 1070 (which would push the budget a bit) would be a good option. The best option would be an MSI 980 though you can still get a great deal because of the 1K series. Won't last long though as supply dwindles as the 900 series is already discontinued.
>>
>>690566941

Isn't the 980 a bit shitter than a 1070 for not much of a price saving?
>>
>>690563768
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/N6QpgL
Wait to get a 1080 until the amd cards come (will make them lower in price a little).
Or get an amd card as they will be better £/frames
>>
>>690567335
>http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/N6QpgL

£1,200 - way over budget.
>>
Not at this point. The benchmarks of the 1K series were all cherry picked so far and considering optimization of most games and drivers the 980 will probably run as well if not better as of now. Also, I wouldn't call $70 not much savings as its probably a 10% increase at Max in performance (eventually) compared to close to 20% increase in cost. Also, unless you run 4K you'll be able to run anything on ultra basically at 70+ frames already (in my experience).
>>
>>690567423
A mate has a 980Ti he has just sent off to be fixed - going to get a refurb back from factory, think I should offer him some moolah for it?
>>
>>690567408
Then swap a few things out.
Slower / less ram.
Cheaper psu.
AMD card...

Just removing the ssd is going to cut £70 off that if you can live with slow loading times
>>
>>690567588

In terms of value for money I cannot live without an SSD. Would i5-6600 be a massive downgrade from the 6600k?

Also, thanks /b/, I'm shocked at your helpfulness today.

I don't trust refurbs because of the precise nature of GPU's. Literally nanometers of solder etc. Never know what you're going to get. I'd go base 980. Just my opinion they are very powerful still. Pic obviously related for non troll purposes
>>
>>690567955
What the fuck is that demented frog looking thing on top?
>>
>>690567708
Just cant overclock the 6600, but with the 6600k you can.

So if you're going for just a 6600 I would take the watercooling away (since you can push the 6600k to 4.5+ with ease).
>>
How is this looking? Just under budget, including some dodgy arse windows copy.

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/3KqGXH
>>
If you're using it for gaming a 6600 is honestly a little overkill itself. Gaming is not gpu intensive. I went with the 6600 over the 6500 purely because of clock speed and the fact that I VR. Which is, coincidentally what the frog beast thing is.

Also, swapping out a few parts won't work in USD that's like a $1600-1700 build. I spent days researching bang for buck because that was coincidentally my price range.

Also, I'm a newfag poster longtime lurker. Wanted to help because building a PC can be shitty if you have no one to bounce ideas off of.
>>
>>690568450
Hero anon, it is appreciated.
>>
Also, you can definitely overclock the non-skylakes now... the 6600 is very OCable
>>
Also, he is USD (I'd assume?) so you're still pretty over budget.
>>
>>690568450
>gaming is not gpu intensive
Depending on the game it can be very gpu intensive
>>
Ignore last post. No sleep didn't see op pound sign
>>
>>690568624

I'm not USD, I'm a fucking limey mate.
>>
>>690568659
I'm assuming a typo, he meant CPU.
>>
>>690564701
so, how is the court case of statutory rape and assault going?
>>
>>690568776

Just fine, thanks.
>>
Only horribly optimized games with shit multi threading are CPU intensive even rust or TERA or planet side won't take a 4K series CPU past 60% rust is terribly optimized but manageable on any 5K CPU or higher.
>>
Yeah, sorry typo on the gpu note. Temporary tard status
>>
>>690568964
Rust isnt horribly optimized.
Its one of the smoothest games I've ever played.
>>
>>690563768
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/PGkxr7
>>
So, how is this? http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/rvRD3F
>>
From a purely demand standpoint the optimization on rust is definitely backseat to the content in updates. Also, if youre a brit definitely dont go 1k series gpu yet they are gouging you guys.
>>
>>690566941
why the fuck would OP spend so much fucking money on a 980 when a 970 is 10% less capability for 50% less price?
>>
>>690563768
best advice, OP, ignore everything in this thread, including this, just go back in time and read tom's hardware.

>>690567408
>first build

fuck hell you're retarded
>>
A 970 is a completely viable option ut with his budget a 980 fits. Also, I would say it's arguably more than 10% and definitely not 2x as much. I'd recommend a 1070 but EU is getting fisted on those right now

Significantly more memory
8,192 MB vs 4,096 MB 2x more memory

Better PassMark score
9,755 vs 8,666 Around 15% better PassMark score
Better 3DMark06 score
17,292 vs 15,071 Around 15% better 3DMark06 score
Better floating-point performance
4,358 GFLOPS vs 3,494 GFLOPS Around 25% better floating-point performance
Higher pixel rate
68.1 GPixel/s vs 58.8 GPixel/s More than 15% higher pixel rate

You're what now?

Throwing it into the mixer, MSI R9 390X?

Tries to be a /b/ro.
Gets flamed.
Typical
>>
>>690570281
Only from one dick, I'm rather appreciative of the discussion, learning lots.
>>
I dont like the 390 seriesthey have more compatibility issues and the drivers arent as good imo. TNot much cheaper either. I guess I'm sort of an Nvidia fanboy and I'm also an MSI fanboy so I love the MSI 980 for clock speed and config over other versions.

>>690570409
Small protip, click the post number you wish to quote, it will pop the quote in the reply box for you.

>Lurkers problems.

From what I can see online the amd 480 is going to have some bitching bang for the buck?
