Need help to decide.

[TRA018RON]

I have been planning and looking up better and value to money build with futur proofing in mind. At first i was looking at the i54690k But now i want to move to i56600k for that futur proofing idea but i cant really decide. This build is mostly for gaming but from time to time will do some video editing and such. My budget is 2kcad inc. monitor.

Here is the skylake build: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/WVKG8d

This is my firs time building a pc. i got to this point bc of my another threads that i posted which gave the idea of a skylake system.

Looks good!

[TRA018RON]

Looks good!

So you think i should go with the skylake path?

[R3DOPS]

i dont think the water cooler is necessary. get windows 8.1 and then upgrade to 10... and go for 500w to 650w get a better mouse and keyboard to

I don't see anything wrong with skylake.  If you don't care about switching motherboards later, I would also suggest the Xeon E3-1231 V3 and an H97 mobo.

what do you mean by switching mobos? You mean from lga1151 to lga1150 bc of thr xeon?

looks good, but if you're into more competitive games, you have the driving force to get a 144hz monitor for around the same price

[TRA018RON]

then get a hyper 212 evo

Will that be good enough? if so then i yeah i will be happy to change. Less money to spend.

i do play lol, bf4 and csgo. I know the mousr and keyboarf is not good enough but i will save for them later

for those games, a 144hz monitor will be great, if not required. Good luck on your first build!

if you want less money to spend id go for a big chaaper motherbord go for 16gb RAM since im starting myself to fun out of ram now unfortunate get a gtx 980 (i dislike AMD sorry!)  and yes the cooler will be fine

okay i will researcg for a good ips 144hz monitor. Thank you!

i honestly think that spending more for a monitor with more Hz is unnecessary. 60hz is fine 1080P or higher is fine. Anything lower is bad anything higher and you will might end up spend too much money. Just because you can spend money dont mean you should spend it all on this to get a vary slight advantage. Yes a 144hz monitor is better but only a bit. rather save and stick to something closer the 60hz or hell get 2 MONITORS! much better.

If you played csgo you would understand the importance of a 144hz panel

what mobo do recommend? If you have by anychance that will support skylake. oh so i can oc the i5 with that cooler then, thanks! Hahaha it was really hard to decide between 970 and 390 but for money and more ram, i went for 390, even tho the ram isnt much of a factor for noe in gaming.

[R3DOPS]

yes i know it is a bit more then what you origanaly had but i think this is much better then what you have. feel free to edit

Yeah having 144hz panel will be a great advantage at csgo. But im really not sure to spend more money on a panel. Oh well research time.

That panel is most likely a tn i dont like tn panel that much. And i really like the s340 . But i will look on that 200r.

If you're not a serious content creator, it's not really worth getting an ips monitor unless you find a good deal. For your purposes, I'd suggest picking up any well reviewed 144hz monitor for now, and maybe adding a second panel in the future when you have more money. Lower end ips monitors also arent that great of an upgrade from a good tn one.
