Skylake build under $1000

[Wayne Tai]

1. Budget & Location
Amazon.com since I am buying most of the parts online. I am residing in Singapore.

2. Aim
General use + gaming

 

will be about 250GB SSD for OS and 1TB for storage.

3. Monitors
Single 1080p monitor

4. Peripherals
no peripherals needed.

5. Why are you upgrading?
Not upgrading, building one for a friend.

Unless you plan on getting like a 750ti, just from looking at it I don't think you can build something like that within the $1000 budget

Okay, first of all, he didn't include and OS or a monitor, second of all, you're just a little prick aren't you?

Okay, first of all, he did not say monitor and OS to be included in the budget, and the default is not, and second of all, you're a bit tetchy aren't you?

I'm sorry that this is a tech forum and not a be an asshole to anyone you want forum.

 

And while he did say no peripherals, he did have 1080p monitor included in his list.

'Not be an asshole' "prick" Makes sense.

Anyways, saying he wants an SSD for the OS does not mean he wants the OS included in the budget, secondly just because he listed the 1080p monitor doesn't mean that it needs to be in the $1000. Anyway, an R9 380 + monitor would still be possible, so your point is void.

Why can't you be nice for once? Jesus...

There also isn't even a PSU included.

6500, cheaper mobo, and a psu can be included. Still a skylake build.

If it makes you feel better about your insecurities and that you always have to be right, yes, I was wrong with the estimation, but it was an estimation... Seriously man. I spent about 15 seconds making the first post and giving a quick response.

 

 

The way you act and post on this forum is really poor, you might want to improve how you interact with other people in the future.

This is a technology forum. People come here for help. They want carefully thought out help, not people replying within the first 15 seconds with something absolutely wrong. Never presume things - some random wise man. Also, ditto to you. Calling someone a prick and saying that they are being an asshole is not exactly friendly.

I mean, you kind of attacked me and acted like a complete child.

 

I know people come here for help. I wasn't wanting to commit to giving a full build overview but I didn't want to completely ignore it.

Think of the amount of other people that reply with in depth answers to these threads. If you don't want to be bothered, firstly don't post, and secondly, change the words above you profile pic.

No thanks, and hopefully I won't see you again anytime soon.

OP said from Amazon, so parts from other sites are useless.

I want to everyone for the response.. I am really impressed at the kind of things I can get with just $1,000 budget. 

 

I have been so busy with work (many late nights) that I don't really have time to be looking and comparing prices. Thank you all so much for the effort. Will be shipping the parts in, hopefully build this 6600k rig by end october =)
