Looking for an upgrade.

[RADEON_GUY]

Hey, my CPU is getting kinda old and I like the new look of the z270 motherboards. I will be keeping my HDDs and GPU from my old rig, though. My budget is  £1100. This is what I planned so far:

i5 7600k

Asus Maxium IX Code

Corsair Vengeance 16gb LED ram

750w ThermalTake 80+ gold RGB psu(my build is RGB themed, I like glowing things)

Corsair 460x RGB Case

Corsair Hydro h100i cooler

GTX 980ti (from old rig)

2x 1tb WD blues(again, from old rig)

 

Feel free to change anything. If you could fit a small ssd for windows, it'd be great.

Looks good, the ix code is unnecessarily expensive but at least it's a nice board. If you want though you could save some money there. Plus you dont really need 750W, 500 or 550 should be plenty to run a single 980ti and a 7600k

I bet you if your okay with used that I could fit a GTX 1080 in.

The Asus mk1 TUF looks pretty good as well, and it's cheaper. I'll keep the 750w psu, though, since I plan on going SLI

Don't really need a new gpu. The 980ti will do just fine for me for the next few years. But feel free to try, don't think you can though

You could probably change the CPU cooler to air cooling (Dark Rock Pro 3)  to save some money, Also, since there's a PSU basement you won't benefit from the Thermaltake PSU, get something like an EVGA G2 550/650W PSU or anything. I'm not the best at knowing what PSU's are the best in the EU (I live in Norway). Also it might be worth waiting for Ryzen but hey whatever floats your boat

I certainly will. I'm saving up for the build anyways, will probably buy the parts in may/june

I bet the rig would be a star of a night club. I could see it, sitting there at a bar, flashing all of its colors while people dance to the music and RGB flashing PC lol. Really, though look's good.

well, i mean, I didn't say I won't do that.

I got you a build. I replaces the IX code for a Gigabyte gaming 7 z270 motherboard.  Good board with rgb lighting and over 100 pounds cheaper. Anyway idk where you shoped but for well under 1100 pounds this build will get you that ss5, 500gb even and a 7700k insteadof 7600k.

the PSU doesn't have a price, the mobo has only 3 ram slots

[Ashiella]

Is this a face that cares?

O rip i missed the price ok fair enough. But emm the mobo does have 4 slots, have a better look theres rgb leds in between, you probably counted those
