I wanna build my dream rig, problem is it cost $1750. The goal of it was to run 1440p near max settings 60 FPS. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nYdq23 Is the rig, yeah I'm over spending by about $250 but it was to make it look good, last a long time and be upgradable.

My plan is to buy skylake... I run on a AMD a6-3650 so keep that in mind. Would it be ok,to get this exact build, but have it be one of the skylake CPUs whether it's i7 or i5 it depends on the benchmarks I see. The main part of why I want skylake is for the iGPU so keep that in mind also. The motherboard would be one if those sexy MSI M5 or M7s. ( Wow I thought the Gaming 5 looked good ) and run off the iGPU until nvidias pascal or AMD 400 series comes out which is suppose to be in 2016. Or until I can afford a GTX 980Ti.

I don't think it would matter to much since skylake should last a long time in the CPU market, I mean come on i5-2500k are just now being reccodmended for games. RAM doesn't matter to much and the PSU comes with a 10 year warranty. The only thing that could possibly change is the case or the CPU cooler from the time I decide to buy it. Which right now I love the CPU cooler and the case.

I rambled but, I see a lot of people saying buy all at once.

Tl:dr Buy the rig in PCPartPicker but with no GPU and the MSI m5 or m7 mobo with one of the skylake CPUs and wait to get the GPU until Nvidias Pascal or AMDS 400 series come out or buy all at once.

Don't buy a new rig and then make yourself upgrade to Skylake immediately. Wait or don't upgrade yet.

Just get an i5 4690k instead of the i7, 8gb of ram and upgrade later to 16. Also you can add the aftermarket cpu cooler later when u have the money. And last but not least get a seagate barracuda 1tb instead of the wd black thingy. That all combined should save you 250$

I think you misunderstood. I said I'm gonna buy that rig, just the 4790k becomes a skylake CPU. Don't know which one, gonna wait for benchmarks and change the MSI Gaming 5 to one of those MSI M5 or M7 Mobos ( the ones that were announced for skylake) and buy the GPU later.

Every part was chosen for a reason.

I've got 8gbs now and I already use up to 5-6 with no games running and imagine if I were playing games.

The i7 was for the sole reason thst games are starting to use the extra threads it has to offer and I wanna live stream, I've tried it and you can imagine how that worked out on an APU.

Another thing for this build was to be as quiet as possible, not to quiet to where I sacrifice performance but quiet enough and to still look good which is why I chose the dark rock 3. That and I wanna overclock the heck out of it. Possibly 4.5ghz.

Also for the HDD I don't trust Seagate and the Black Series should help with games that I don't have on the SSD.

Yeah that would,of made sense. The CPU will probably only cost around $300 though since I plan on getting most of the parts or similar,parts from microcenter. Hopefully they'll price match a few things.

just save and wait. Your best bet is to wait for a sale.

just be patient and upgrade all at once. do the entire build from scratch and get everything at once. nice build btw.

Thanks I'll probably wait.

The only thing I could truly regret not buying all at once is if a new case comes out that I see and want. Intel,won't be doing huge jumps in performance on the CPU end and honestly ram is ram to me. Storage is storage, the PSU is one of the best in my opinion on the market ect ect.

Quick thought.

 

Is that ram you chose low enough profile?
