Hey. I wanted to ask you guys what you think of this rig. It would be my first if I built it so I now ask you: Any suggestions? Anything wrong? Make sure that what you suggest doesn't increase the price, increases it a little bit OR is more cost-effective. Here's some notes I want to make, though:
 

  • NVIDIA only! AMD kinda confuses me and I'm not ready to join team Red.
  • Don't go over 
  • I don't have another PC to transfer Windows from except my laptop which I plan to continue using

 

That's it, I guess. SUGGEST AWAY! :D


EDIT: Thanks, guys! :D You're such geniuses and I'm kinda stupid, lmao! xD
 

  • MicroATX Motherboard because I can't overclock this CPU
  • 380 GPU

I'll consider these two, thanks! <3 <3

EDIT 2: I've been converted to AMD to help the rebellion agains NVIDIA GameDoesn'tWorks.

For essentially the same price you get a 6600k and a nice Z170 motherboard just because I swapped the 960 for a 380.

Get the 380. Its a little cheaper for similar if not better performance than the 960, and that savings can be put towards a better ssd.

I would go for a hyper 212 evo, most coolers come with thermal paste so you don't have to spend extra on that and I wouldn't put more fans in the system but I'm kind of a silence freak (My sodastream water is so loud right now that I can't hear my computer)

You probably won't need the network card either

 

and a little sidenote, Damn hardware is cheap there, I'd pay hundreds more for that system here

Yeah it hurts a bit. But I still wouldn't go anywhere else to get the computer because then when my GPU had some problems the shop wouldn't have been 30minutes away =) And their customer support is epic.
