I mean, its a decent build I guess, the question is how much money can you afford? Do you need a OS, or monitor or just the tower?

This build should be less expensive but with very similar performance. It does not overclock.

 

If you can afford to spend more it would be good to include a 120GB+ ssd. If there was even more available an R9 280X gpu would also be good.

You can take out the optical drive and put the $21 into something else if you don't need it

 

As for ATX vs mATX

 

What do you need? Do you want a full size ATX board? With ATX you have more PCI-E slots to play around with, such as sound cards, raid cards, etc..

 

Budget?

● Thermaltake Core P5 ● ASUS Z170-A ● Intel Core i7-6700k 
● EK Supremacy EVO ● 2x 8GB GSkill Ripjaws 
● EVGA GTX 770 ● Samsung 850 EVO 250GB ● XFX 750W Black Edition PSU

Hey there, nice rig you are planning to build. The WD Blue drive is a good option. If you are going to use the PC primarily for gaming then you might also take a look at the WD Black, which is a 7200 RPM drive and will reduce the load times. You can check it out here: http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=760

Hope this helps.

Cheers, Dorian_WD

As far as i heard SSD only speeds up the progress of boot up and loading stuff? it does not realy make my games run faster or get me more frames?

i do not realy care if i have to wait a little longer to load or do things, i just want my games to go smooth and dont lose to much money at it.

i do not realy know the difrance, i do like good sound, but is it worth the money adding a sound card?

 

my budged would be around 800- 900 euro (google euro to dollar: 900 euro= 1163 U.S dollars)

 

 

 

 

 

 

As far the build is now, how nex gen proof is this? on wath serrings wil crysis 3, BF4 etc run?

In actual game play there is no real fps difference between ssd and hdd systems. However, games load faster and map transitions are faster on ssd equipped systems. Outside of games, browsing, etc. ssd equipped systems are much more responsive.

SSDs will not improve FPS however the overall system will be faster when doing things like opening docs and programs and such
