Are you going to do any gaming whatsoever on this pc? just youtube and word? if so you can lower this computer to a MUCH MORE cheeper price. I think 700 for just school is wayyyyyyy too much. unless you are planing to game in it.

I assume you already have a HEATSINK???? it doesnt come with a STOCK Intel heatsink this is the cheapest 6600K BUILD EVER!!!

 

Z170M chipset for OVERCLOCKING!!! M8 & the 6600K is UNLOCKED!!!

 

I saw you locked the components and specified your needs on each component but how did you do that may i ask y?

Oh and i know that MOBO is kinda ugly but it was the cheapest Z170M micro ATX i could fine you'll have to deal with that orange right?

 

Upgrades to do next:

 

1. GPU

2. SSD

3. Heatsink/Cooler for CPU

4. RAM
