$2000 Build (AU)

[Fireball88]

Hey guys looking for suggestions for a $2000 build in Australia.

P.S.

this is my first PC and i do not know much about them so can you put some reasoning behind the choices, it would be very much appreciated

I was just looking at your signature and wondering if you want this build to be completely new from the ground up or if you could reuse some parts from your current build.

 

Also, do you need an OS and any other peripherals?

I do not have a current build that was something from ages ago so its from the ground up. I already have the OS

What is the difference between the 6600K and the 6600?

The i5 6600K is overclockable (hence the K) and it's also why I decided to pair it with a Z170 motherboard and a decent aftermarket cooler. The i5 6600 cannot overclock.

I'm Sorry I actually forgot to say that I would prefer not to overclock. Does this change the build?

No, not at all.

 

Simply get the i5 6600 (or an i7 6700 if you're not only doing gaming), and a cheaper H170 board. You can also get rid of the aftermarket cooler and just use the stock cooler instead.

I would always use a aftermarket cooler even If you dont oc. It's just way more quiet and imo relieable:D

Since you don't want to overclock, I slightly tweaked HKZeroFive's build.
