I am buying this build but am $ 100 over budget. I want to keep my 6600k though.

Edit: People i forgot to add this: It is for gaming and it have a 1440x900 75 hz monitor. I will upgrade to 1080p. I NEED the wifi card and i have avalibilty issues in pakistan so i will go with only 200r

Unlocked CPUs really aren't worth it anymore, also you could be getting either an i7 or 390 for that budget easily, SSD is a bit larger here though

 

and that PSU probably isn't worth it

 

Also the board you have doesn't have USB 3.1 which is probably the biggest feature of the 1151 platform

 

and your SSD isn't PCI-e so there's not much purpose in getting an M.2 drive over a 2.5" drive

Is this a gaming rig?

 

a cheaper I5 and a better GPU will be much better

[BaileyFY]

yup get a i5 6400, a cheaper motherboard and 650watts should be fine.

Go with Haswell, no point in getting Skylake.

That PSU is fine, check jonnyguru. And it's not a GPU downgrade, it's a GPU sidegrade. They perform the same

Please refer to the tier 6:

 

Also, 960 is about 10% slower than 380 on average. And the 380 costs the same as the 960, if not cheaper with a different 4gb model.

because as far as gaming goes CPUs are already plenty fast, unless you're doing 144hz gaming, then maybe, but otherwise the i7 6700 Turbos to 4ghz as is, that's already plenty You'd get 4.5ghz on most chips, and then you have to spend extra on the mothebroard/cooling which can really cut into your GPU or size of your SSD.

Seriously, if you're over budget the best thing to get rid of is probably the 6600k. There's no reason to spend a ton of extra money on a CPU cooler AND an unlocked CPU unless you find the overclocking absolutely necessary. 

 

You could find a better PSU. The EVGA B2 750W is pretty decent, and it's less than your current PSU. Don't get an EVGA NEX or B1 PSU, though. Generally a bad idea. 

 

Is the wi-fi adapter necessary? Is there really no way to hook your PC up to an ethernet cord? I have a 100 ft one running up into the ceiling down into my room so I can use it whenever I need. 

 

If you're going to decide to go for an unlocked CPU, you could get a GA-H110M-A if you're not looking for a ton of extra features on your motherboard. 

 

Really, though. There's not much we can do to decrease your rig price other than getting you to get rid of the unlocked CPU and going for a locked i5-6400/6500.

If he's on a budget, he won't be getting an i7 in the first place. I think him buying an i7 is a pretty bad suggestion in the first place. It all depends on what he does. If he does anything other than gaming, an overclocked CPU will help and even in gaming it helps significantly increase performance.

Past what? 60fps? If you have a 60hz display that doesn't matter at all, and the extra hundred would have been better spent on a CPU/GPU

 

and I fit an i7 into his budget range, PC is going to last longer with an i7, and if he's only gaming at 1080p a 380 is going to be fine, best off saving up for a huge GPU when all the new stuff comes in a few months, or buying a 4k IPS free-sync display.

The i7 comes with massive diminishing returns at this price range they should be 100% avoided unless this PC was being made for video editing

No, the PSU is simply not good enough for overclocking and it's pretty low tier.

 

The R9 380 will perform better than the GTX 960 (especially with the i5 6600K).

If he was going for an i5 in the first place, he doesn't need an i7 and he doesn't need the extra RAM. That is, unless he's just uneducated on the topic. You may have fit it into his budget, but you also knocked off his wifi-adapter (which he may or may not need) and his keyboard. There's no reason to spend extra money when you don't need to. Even if you wanted to, it'd be better to spend it on a higher quality motherboard or something. The GA-H110M-A provides minimal features. 

 

EDIT: Also, you made an argument against your argument. The money would have been better spent on a CPU/GPU. Forget about the CPU for now because in most modern games the GPU dictates how well your system performs, as long as your CPU isn't total crap.

It's really not all too bad, $80 more for hyperthreading, it's easy to fit into the budget, if not well then a Xeon 1231v3 is still an option for $100 less.

If nothing else if his display is 1080p still, save money on the GPU and CPU and upgrade that.

No reason to spend money if you don't need it. Hyperthreading isn't necessary which is why the i5 CPUs still don't have it. It won't be necessary for quite a while in gaming. We still have no clue what this guy is planning on doing. 

 

Also, no clue if he wants to go above 1080p. Thing is, you're trying to fill in all of his information for him without even asking for more. Questions like "what are you going to do with this PC?", "what kind of performance do you need?", and "what kinds of games are you playing?" are all questions that should be asked. 

 

I dislike posts like these that give no details whatsoever, but I dislike the people who try to fill in the details for others too.

It's a gaming rig an i7 is in no way worth his money, as his budget is set low upgrades are not likely for some time. That means he would be stuck with a 380 for quite some time. I managed to squeeze in a 970 w a i56400, that will last far longer
