Planning new Build

[Averieth]

Planning a new affordable build that runs in DDR4 and the new Skylake platform.

 

INTEL I5 6600K SKYLAKE PROCESSOR (3.9GHZ)

GIGABYTE GA-Z170X-GAMING 3

KINGSTON HYPERX FURY DDR4 RAM 2600MHZ 8GB

GIGABYTE GTX 980 TI G1 GAMING

CORSAIR AX SERIES 760W (80 PLUS PLATINUM)

ADATA SP550 240GB SSD

COOLERMASTER SEIDON 240M AIO LIQUID COOLER

NZXT S340 MID TOWER CASE

MICROSOFT WINDOWS 8.1 SINGLE LANGUAGE (64-BIT) [Will upgrade to Windows 10 before July next year]

ACER XB240H 24" 144HZ G-SYNC IPS GAMING MONITOR

 

Thoughts ??

 

and also.. should I sacrifice G-Sync and get a BenQ RL2755HM instead ? It is much bigger...

 

I live in Malaysia, price are tends to be high...

Here's a price list of a local Tech Shop..

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByqFxfVHJdvDczdHMi1UM0MwQjQ/view?usp=sharing

 

Current price for this set is RM8,544 (MALAYSIA RINGGIT), so it's around USD 1950.91 / CAD 2601.72

 

Budget is around RM7,000 which is around USD 1,600 / CAD 2,132.74.. Really wanted a PC that can MAX out settings on 1080p; wasn't going for 1440p as budget does not allow..

get a fury x instead it beats out the 980ti now because of new drivers.

Same here, I live in malaysia too. The price is just ridiculous. This build, I can't make it under 1,600$, except you go with Haswell.

Freesync is also not bad. Since Fury is better than 980 about 10-15%. That's why I chose a Freesync monitor. If you want to drop down the CPU cooler then do it.
