"Red Dog" successor to "Legacy"

[Podunk_Media]

Hello fellow PC Builders,

 

I posted the plans for my current PC named "The Legacy" and got some comments on why I should go Intel rather than my AMD 8320. After giving it much thought I've decided to take everyone's advise and build myself an 6700K Build. This machine is going to be used in Gaming and Content creation in 1080p.

 

Here's the Parts:

Intel 6700K

MSI Mini ITX Z170I Motherboard

Asus GTX970 (will upgrade in the future)

16GB DDR4 Ram

256GB SSD

4TB Harddrive

Be Quiet Dark Rock 3 Cooler 

Corsair AX760 Power Supply

Phanteks Enthoo Evolve Mini Case

 

Extra:

Asus 27" 1920x1080 Monitor  

Corair K70 Keyboard

Logitech G502

 

Let me know what y'all think!

What budget what country?

 

a 390 is going to be faster than a 970, but both are overkill for a 1080p display

 

and if you need CPu performance you should be going X99 over a 6700K, otherwise get a 6700, as overclocking really isn't going to be worth the cost.

well as of right now its around 1500-1600 dollars and I'm still juggling parts around so we will see what the final build will hold plus the 6700K isnt that much more expensive from what i've seen so I'll prob stick with that

It's a decent amount more expensive than the 6700 when you factor in the high end cooler for overclocking and higher end motherboard you might as well buy, the 5820K usually costs as much and you just need to spend more on your motherboard, it makes more sense to OC as well since unlike the skylake i7s it only turbos to 3.6ghz

 

and you can easily go X99 for that budget, with a display upgrade to 1440p or maybe grab a 1080p 144hz free-sync display for gaming.
