CAD $2000 Build

[144hz]

I apologize if this is posted in the wrong place.

 

So, within November I am ordering a new computer and should be around CAD $2000 with tax.

 

:^)

 

This is what I have so far. I just wanted a second look with everyone and find out what changes should be made.

R9 390 > 970

R9 390 > 970

Would he not be better with a Quadro anyway? 

[Aytex]

You should get a 390 if you want more performance

And a different keyboard

Strafe,K series CM Quickfire series, ducky shine

Welcome to the forum!

 

Like @don_svetlio said, an R9 390 is a better option.

If he's doing work with it yes.

[tbroadwater2010]

I would go with the Quadro as well. Its a work PC graphics card and not enthusiast grade.

 

Also if you can bump that 6600 to a 6700 you would get i7 performance and small boost in clock speed. But thats just me.

He means CAD as in the currency, not the programs

[Bittenfleax]

Well... it is a CAD build.

[jtchimesin]

Canadian dollars everyone... 

 

he's probably confused af reading this now lol

[don_svetlio]

Well... it is a CAD build.

CAD = canadian dollar

[jtchimesin]

And yes if you have the extra money i'd definitely go for the i7, also you probably need some mass storage or a bigger ssd imo

[TheRandomness]

@144hz Better for your money build imo. (Are you sure you don't need large capacity storage?)

Storage*

Memory is RAM, Storage is HDD/SSD.

my bad that's what I meant, so should I just switch to the i7 6700 not the 6700k correct?
