Hey Guys!

 

I am building my first PC featuring a Skylake Processor. I have built one here (PC + Monitor + OS): http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4crXrH

My absoulute maximum budget is 2000$ (Actually Francs from switzerland, but as most of the People here are American and the price difference isn't that big I wrote dollars). I Plan to use it mainly for gaming

and some animating. 

 

These are my plans and i'd like some advice from maybe a bit more experienced PC builders.

 

Thank You! :)

Looks good.

Personally wouldn't go for that monitor but that's just my taste. 

I would however recommend getting 16GB of RAM if possible not only to have some future proofing but if I'm honest, I find myself nearly hitting 100% on mine which can cause issues at times. 

Other than that, looks impressive and hope you enjoy your PC.

Cheers

If this is for Gaming, you need a better Graphics Card and should change the CPU. i5 for easy 100$ less is more than enough.

I guess this would be way better in terms of performance over the Skylake i7, however I wouldn't pick it either. Look below.

Thanks for all the answers, wasn't expecting replies this quickly :)

 

I'll probably go with a i5, the h100i cpu cooler and the Asus PB278Q Monitor.

 

Thanks! Helped a Lot :D
