Help with Build

[Savir]

Looking to game and was wondering if skylake is worth it? Anything I should change in these 2 builds? My budget in $2000 for the full setup. Thanks.

I vote the first one.

Thats what I'm leaning towards.

 

I vote the first one.

First one.

 

Looks good to me.

 

I would buy Windows from Reddit/MicrosoftSoftwareSwap or G2A for $20.

 

Do you really need that Dominator Platinum? For aesthetics, it looks good. Find some other cheap memory in white or pure black like HyperX Fury Black.

 

Dominator Platinum performs as same as any memory with same speed and same timings.

 

EVGA GQ 850 watts price is $85 

 

Get this build.
