Posted August 31, 2015 if you're gaming only, go with an i5-6600k you need a better cpu cooling solution. get the h60 or the u12s by noctua i recommend the asus z170-p and not the "d3" version so that you can take advantage of ddr4 ram if you're only gaming, you don't need 16gb of ram, get 8gb your hdd is far too slow. get a 7200 rpm hdd minimum get a better 970 or go with the better gpu in the r9 390; get the msi version as it's not voltage locked you don't need all those silly fans BigDay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
