HELP UPGRADING ALIENWARE! Need to know if the parts I have selected are compatible and a good choice.

Kevin235

These are the parts I have selected to upgrade (but haven't bought yet) my older Alienware,

 

CPU: Intel Core i7 - 6700K Quad-Core Processor

Motherboard: MSI Z170A Gaming M5 

Ram: G.SKILL Trident Z Series 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz CL16

 

*NOTE* I need to be able to run crossfire. The MSI choice for the motherboard is due to the fact that the current motherboard was from MSI, however, this is not a gaming pc and I will therefore welcome any other motherboard suggestions that are more suited for a Workstation. MONEY IS NOT REALLY AN ISSUE, SO PLEASE GIVE YOUR BEST POSSIBLE SUGGESTIONS. Please judge the parts I have selected and offer insight to better options. 

 

I am located in Canada and will be purchasing all the components from Canada Computers: http://www.canadacomputers.com/

 

Thanks

Best Regards,

Kevin

I would recomend Asus z170-deluxe just to avoid the killer internat card because my friends that has motherboards with them have complained about the internet or you could go with the zi70-a though it has less usb ports.

 

These facts are from me, canada computers and komplett.se
