How's this $850 (No GPU) Build?

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST INSTEAD OF RESPONDING WITH SOMETHING LIKE "NO NEED FOR A Z MOTHERBOARD WITH A NON K CPU". ALSO, I'M WAITING ON PASCAL/THAT AMD THING BEFORE I GET A GPU. I CAN LIVE WITH INTEGRATED GRAPHICS.

 

I'm going to be doing many different things with this build. I'm going to be playing League of Legends (and recording it), messing around with graphical design, and possibly getting into more demanding games (when the new AMD/Nvidia GPUs are released.)

I'm just looking for standard 1080p, 60FPS performance. I'm obviously going to go well over the 60FPS mark while playing League of Legends, but other games I intend to play will not until I purchase a GPU.

My budget is currently around where this build is at. $850 is perfect for me. I'm purchasing all of my parts in the United States of America.
Here's the part list.

 

I'm not going to buy a GPU for quite a while. I'm obviously not going to overclock my CPU either. The reason I have a Z170 board selected is because I find the faster RAM speed a necessity for dealing with integrated graphics. The audio also sounds like a nice feature.

You need to get a K to overclock.

Please read the entire post. I'm getting the Z motherboard for the XMP profiling and support for faster RAM speeds.

The i7 is a necessity. I'm not going to spend money on a graphics card until the new AMD/Nvidia GPUs are released. I can live with integrated graphics.

Hmm that's not enough justifcation, seriously though you would be better off just getting a GPU than have to spend up on expensive boards and RAM just to get better integrated graphics.

This is alright for non over clocking and the 212 Evo will keep the I7 cool, do you mean you are going to use the integrated graphics for a while?

The faster RAM speeds will help with integrated graphics. I don't know how long I will be working with them because there is no set release date on the AMD/Nvidia GPUs.

 

Also, the Z170 motherboards typically have nicer audio and better Ethernet.

Yeah. I think I'm going to wait until the Pascal/AMD whatever is released. I don't want to end up wasting money on a high-end GPU for something that performs much better at a similar price to be released.

Still not worth it, the best possible scenario would be for AMD to release them at September, that's 7 months of waiting for you at the best case.

I'm willing to wait. There's not much else to say.

How about this then? You could get a better cooler and OC the CPU later on. The 5820k is better than the 6700. Otherwise, you could go for the 6700

Do you have any fully modular PSUs to suggest? I prefer to keep the inside of my case nice and tidy... If not, I'll go with the semi-modular ones.

Yes

550W ones (They will be fine for single GPU PCs)

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220g20550y1 

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220gs0550v1

 

650W+ (You could probably do 2 mid-tier GPUs)

Thanks. I decided to choose the G2... 10/10 from jonnyguru.

I recommend the EVGA G2 550W for no overclocks.

Yeah, the only thing I'm going to be "overclocking" (XMP profiles) is the RAM to 3000mhz. I honestly doubt it'll increase the power draw enough to warrant a higher capacity power supply.

Exactly, the G2 has a silent profile when under low load on it which is a good plus.

Also, overclocking RAM doesn't really make the wattage change alot.
