Haha I didn't even know a new gen was coming out. I was going to wait for christmas anyway and was just brainstorming ideas, but I guess I have another reason now . Thanks for the info!

I think I'll kind of merge the ideas and get an i5 6600, stock cooler, with the Seasonic psu

Oh I see, then I think I might just switch to 6600. Thanks

there's a link to pcpartpicker at the top

Hey so here is my build: http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/gJrPFd Just wanted some feed back and also a specific question: Do I need a 6600k for gaming? I will only be playing some cpu intensive games but I was wondering if it was worth the extra ~$150 for the cpu cooler and cpu price itself.

Sorry for being a simpleton xD, but does that mean 2 120mm intakes at the front, and one 120mm (good) exhaust? Or will I need 2 exhausts since its only 120mm?

Here is my build: http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/Nt7v3F The chassis comes with 2x 120mm fans. Is this enough?? Thanks to all in advance!

Did some more research, how is this for a power supply? http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/product/DbqdnQ/corsair-power-supply-cs550m

I agree both are better, but I'm really looking at keeping my price under 2000 NZD lol. Right now I'm at $1994 Thanks though!

I should really of put those in one reply, sorry. Anyway, All of those parts are compatible and as for micro atx or atx, it does not matter. The spec-03 can support up to atx, so it can take either motherboard size. sweeeeeeeeeeeet, thanks a lot!

Wow yea that is much cheaper, thanks

Btw I want to keep my total price under $2000 NZD (~$1450 USD)

I also appreciate general tips and/or improvements to this build as I am a total beginner. Thanks to all in advance!

Oh wait nvm I'm blind. it does, with a whopping 1cm to spare!
