Rate my first build /g/. There is no GPU as I plan to get an RX 480 as long as the benchmarks are decent. Also will have to do more research on the monitor, but I like everything else so far.

Ram seems mad overpriced
Windows can be gotten much cheaper through kinguin for example
otherwise solid famalam

Wasnt sure if DDR4 was worth it, if its only a small upgrade Im probably gonna stick with DDR3.

>>54954518
Change case for non-windowed version.
>>
that motherboard is overpriced for that cpu
>>
>>54954539
Well even ddr4 can be gotten cheaper, god knows you dont need a whopping 16 gigs
Id still stick to ddr4
>>
>>54954552
Any recommendations? Im extremely new to this and any feedback is much appreciated.

look at B150 motherboards. not the z170. anything around $70-80 should be good enough.

Main things I noticed:
>Motherboard isn't bad, but overpriced for what you are going for if you are not going to overclock. Either get a cheaper one, or get a 6600K with a better cooler.
>If you do not have a Windows key already, get it from a third party site and not one of the main ones. If you are deadset on W10, get a W7 key and upgrade it.
>I would maybe get a 650W power supply, just in case. 550W isn't bad, but 650w is the sweet spot in my opinion for all around compatibility.

The RAM is fine, in my opinion. Despite what others say, 16GB is damn useful.

Get the cheapest asrock HYPER mobo you can find in order to OC the CPU and RAM. It has an external clock generator.
>>
>>54954518
idk, but this would be.

Switched up the PSU, and the motherboard for a cheaper one. Not really interested in overclocking, As the processor from what Ive read should be fine for gaming at 1080/1440p

Not a good monitor. No true blacks.
