[kim921]

Alright so I very fortunately found out that I have some budget remaining, so here are the updated specs.

Intel core i5-6500

deepcool AK400 digital(a bit overkill but can use in future builds)

MSI PRO h110-m matx motherboard

Samsung DDR4-3200 16GB

an Adata 120GB ssd+another random 120gb ssd+a WD blue 500GB hdd 

a MSI GTX 1070 ARMOR OC

a 550w psu

a random case

is there anything I can improve?

do you already have this or is this a build you are planning?

 

and what parts are you planning on buying?

 

skylake is ancient and you shouldnt bother with it unless you get a dirt cheap office tower to slap a gpu in, you can buy a used 3600(x) or for worse used markets a 3100/3300x/3500(x) for ~50$ and a used b3/450 like the tomahawk or equivalent for ~50$ which makes those older gens irrelevant

I already have most of the parts including the cpu, so it’s pointless scrapping my perfectly fine parts and starting over from scratch. I am planning on using the 6500 untill it is ulable to use and btw sry for the late replie. 
I an buying the cpu cooler,the case and the second ssd.

btw when I have more money I am planning on buying a 6700K so no need for cpu&mobo upgrade

Or you could save those double digit dollars and save up for something much faster like the bottom of the barrel 14100F.

 

Agiven you'll need a new motherboard but in the long term you'll save significantly more money building yourself a strong foundation than keeping alive a system that's begging to be put down

eh 1700 is dead better off with am5 if you want actual futureproofing and the 14100 is just a renamed 12100f still using alderlake afaik

and the 12400 is neck and neck with the 5600x, keep in mind that the 5600x is overclockable and can be found for pretty cheap used alongside its accompanying am4 mobo

 

can pick up used midranger b3/450 for around 50$ like the tomahawk or equivalent and there are used 3600(x) for 50$ with 5600(x) at ~80$ worst case theres the 3100-3300x-3500(x) for 30-50$ depending on your local used market

 

if you wanna buy a dead platform do it properly and get the best bang for buck not buying new like a complete moron and ripping yourself off with a 100$ board and 95$ cpu that has the same if not worse performance than cpus from 4 years ago

 

1700 is only viable with a 12600k(f) and ddr4 cause if you can afford ddr5 you can jump over to am5 with a cheap 7600 (~180-200$) or even an aliexpress 7500f (130$) and get a much better board at the 100-130$ mark like the b650m hdv whilst getting a cpu that draws less power and is straight up faster in singlecore with a platform where you dont need to do a mobo swap or ram swap (if you get hynixes) to upgrade the cpu

I am out of budget so for now the 6500 os the best option for me.
