Does she actually intend on OCing?

[The Official Czex]

Hmm... That build looks awfully familiar... Maybe you should post the permalink instead?

So do you want us to get the price down to $1400CAD with a monitor and Windows?

Edit:  Nevermind... I was looking at a build I just made.  Give us the permalink not the one in your address bar.

Is there a reason you are going with Skylake? You can save $100 by going with Haswell.

im not really seeing the point of going to the 4000 series cpus when the 6000s are the same cost...

[Nexxus]

Is there a reason you are going with Skylake? You can save $100 by going with Haswell.

I dont really see the point in it, while skylake isnt much better then haswell (if at all) for gaming I dont see why one would invest in a platform thats nearly dead and isnt much cheaper

[Amazingasian]

A skylake cpu is alright but with the cost of X170 board and DDR4 ram, the cost ramps up.

Well if it's a build for your gf then it needs a 690

lol my 680s are going next gen

You aren't just saving on the CPU. You are also saving on the mobo and RAM.

True

[Kenji the Uke]

True

But its still worth it.

[Nexxus]

I think I will stick with skylake for the high end option... since with your motherboard I got it closer to 1400...im trying to figure out if that psu you mentioned was semi moduler or not...

 

 

nevermind I see it not

If you reeeally wanted to make it color-themed though, consider Cablemod. :3 Cable extensions.
