My second Build Ever

[Jaeric]

Hello there. This is my first Post on this Forum.  

 

Right now I'm planning to build a new PC for myself and as I am not very experienced in building PC's, finding the right parts to fit in a system, I hoped you could help me with it. 

My Budget is around 2000 Euro - 2200 Euro. (There is a prize list at the bottom of the post. Everything besides the most part names is in German but you can easily see the prizes)

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

My Current "System"

 

Mainboard:

Asus X99-A Intel X99

 

CPU:

SSD:

*I don't know if it's the right word. (I'm German) I mean the thing where you put the CD's in.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

I really really appreciate every little suggestion, tweak and just in general every bit of Info that could help me improve this build.

 

If there is anything missing, you need additional Info about anything or have any questions please let me know.

 

And if this build is just BS, doesn't even work or has big flaws in it I would also appreciate if you tell me what I did so horribly wrong

 

Thank you in advance

You can't put a 5820k in a Z/H/B170 board. x99 only.

[EmeraldKiwi]

Are you sure you will actually need a CD drive?

[rektrobin]

i7-5820k is X99 Platform..

[Bigheart]

i like everything, but you need an x99 board, or an 1151 processor (which ever you think is best) just remember that you need to set the xmp profile for your ram when you are done and you should be golden. 

[comicsansms]

What are you doing, I am really confused at the moment?

I really don't think you have a LGA 1151 motherboard with a LGA 2011-3 CPU.

[Bigheart]

does this build include an operating system? or are we going linux or pirated or something?

For older games I guess. (If they even run on Win 10)

[Samfisher]

Drop the 850 Pro for an 850 Evo.  I could swap the 2 around and you won't ever know the difference.  The rest looks great.  Why Win 10 Pro?  Do you need domain support?

be careful with that. just cause you have an optical drive and some pc games doesnt mean that they are compatible with windows ten. i have age of empires 2 on disk and i couldnt get around compatibility issues without a user patch.

Thanks  I'll do that  How good is Win 10 actually? Only used it once. I still use Win 7

honestly, its okay. id say its about as good as windows 7. here is a tip. if you have an unused laptop or other device that has windows 7, 8 or 8.1, and that has never been upgraded to 10, you can use the product activation key that they come with in order to activate windows ten on your pc, thereby getting you the software for virtually nothing. to do this you need to download an inactivated copy of windows ten onto a flash drive and boot from it, and then when prompted, use the activation key.

yee. ive never used the activation key from something im still using, only from tear downs that i do sometimes, so i dont know what would happen if you use a code from a machine you are planning to use, so be warned.

Thank you for the info saved around 50 Euro for only 6GB less

 

I don't know why Win 10 Pro Just cause

So... should I use the code from my mother's laptop? she is still using it, but will never upgrade to win 10.

Then you can save going for just the Win 10 Home Edition or whatever it's called now.

like i said, im not sure what would happen. it might deactivate the copy of windows on your moms computer, or perhaps nothing will happen. ive never tried on a machine i still used.

Is there nothing really special about the pro version? If not I'm most definitely going to use the home version.

You get group policy, active directory control and domain support, things most people never even heard of let alone use
