Skylake midrange futurebuild.

Strom

I'm going to build a pc from scratch and i have budget around 1500€. I live in Finland so i'm going to buy parts from germany because it's a lot cheaper. My build is this: http://de.pcpartpicker.com/user/StromDeByssy/saved/L8JdnQ I'm intending to get another r9 390 later but now i don't have money for it. Don't freak out about the monitor because i'll get the another gpu. SSD is not that if i get a better deal somewhere. I went with skylake over hashwell because ddr4 will be around for a long time if it behaves like ddr3 has done. Also 1151 socket is better for upgrades than 1150. I want to hear your opinions on this build and recommendations. Don't post full part lists because then this topic will become difficult to read.

Otherwise, it looks good. Maybe more storage too.

You really do need a better PSU though.

What is it for? You might only need 8GB of RAM, but your choice.

If you're on a budget, go with the 1150. DDR3 isn't going anywhere, look at HDDs.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

If you are really on a budget, then go with Haswell.

Th only advantage at this point is the "future proofing" from the new chipset.

And DDR4, faster, more possible storage.

No, there may be newer Skylakes than Haswell but the Skylake could get taken out by a competitor. The Major advantage to Skylake is the ability to run more than two GPUs. Where gaming is concerned. No real advantage to DDR4 in gaming, just more expensive, but that might change so there's that.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

That's interesting because i know many people who have cx for about 4 years and no problems. That is probably caused by electrical curremt spike or moisture that causes water to conduct between parts. In Finland we have really powerful and stable electrical current so there wouldn't be any problems with my current psu choice. (At least hopefully)

6600k is about 10% faster than 4690k /:

No, most report 3%. And that performance does nothing for game performance. If you're rendering, you should have a i7, not a i5.
