what psu do you recommend? gigabyte gtx 750 ti 4gb (already have it)

Honestly the PSU is fine for the build. The CX series is for basic build and that's what this is. No need for a Z170 motherboard unless you want to get into the world of overclocking non k cpu's which is much harder than overclocking K cpu's. You will probably be fine with 8gb of ram. If you aren't overclocking then no need for a cpu cooler.

anything other than corsair cx

 

so xfx, seasonic, evga, or a different corsair psu, such as ax, or lm or whatever, just not cx

 

and dont get a cheap out oone, like the non branded ones

Unless you plan to upgrade later on to a 'K' series i5 or i7, the z170 motherboard isn't necessary and you could get a cheaper board with a different chipset.. maybe the savings there, plus getting only 8gb ram, and using the stock cooler could allow you to get an i5 instead?

i am going to use vmware so yes i need the 16gb and i am planning to get the i7-6700k next year or another cpu witch i can overclock

Just get a Better quality PSU. The CX Series from Corsair isn't that good. The EVGA SuperNova 550 GS/G2 should work better.

 

Yes I know it might be more expensive but you'll also have some room for expansion the the future and the power supply will be higher quality and quieter at least

thus isnt supposed to use cx psus.

 

also, a 750ti vm is a bit too low, no?

Ahh.

i see.

id suggest getting something like a 5820k, as it has 6 cores, and can hyperthread to 12

I have three questions for you:

1. What country do you live in?

2. What is your budget?

3. Do you mind buying used PC parts?

 

Also to add, your build will need a GPU and some forum of storage. Unless you plan to install windows on a floppy disk, you are going to need an HDD/SSD for windows and a GPU to even be able to play games.

 

he stated them already
