$1300 Canadian Build without GPU

[Clanscorpia]

What is the best gaming Skylake build for $1200 without a GPU?I'm waiting for Polaris and Pascal. I'd like an H440 White and Black and the theme to be white and blue. I'd like this to include watercooling for the CPU and possibility for getting a GPU so enough rads for that. I'd like the fluid to be blue. Thanks!

You really want the water block / GPU so that you can map where the tubing goes.

I don't know which one to buy though

Well I would just have an h110i for the cpu until the newer hardware comes out and then take the water cooling things to install. Also I don't think many people here have builds with soft or hard tube water cooling so I doubt you will get much help.

Without a GPU, it's kinda hard to determine what PSU you need. 550W should be enough anyway.

Is the 5820k cheaper than the 6700k where you live? If you're betting on Pascal/Polaris might as well bet on DX12 as well. The 5820k is just a far superior CPU to the 6700k. 

 

Edit: Didn't realize your budget is more in the ballpark of a 6600k. My bad

[Clanscorpia]

By watercooling I meant soft tubed. And the GPU could be a 980ti roughly in power draw and I'd like to account for 2

you're $13 and you're richer than me by around $1000USD

They are both around 600 here and I can stretch my budget a little (150) for one of those

The 5820k is worth it for heavy none gaming. maybe even gaming after dx12
