Planned Upcoming Build

So I've made a few threads about my planned upcoming build, but after the help of the other threads, I've finally come to this

My budget for the PC only was to be about $1,500, and with peripherals (Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers, and Monitor) to be roughly $1,899 (though I'm fine spending the little bit more I have configured right now.)


Before any of you comment on my storage, yes I understand 500GB isn't much. However I don't plan on using that much storage initially as I'm not going to be putting a ton of games on it or large video or photo files.


My current Steam Library and Wishlist makes up about 35 Games not a whole lot of those games are more than 10GB to 20GB.

 

I guess I'd be willing to change the mobo out to a Z170 Krait though I do really like the Z170-Pro (The Z170-A from Asus has some short cuts that don't make much sense)

I got you cheaper ram, less storage (compromise for 1TB hdd), worse gpu (not by much though) and a better psu because you need at least a 750W for an R9 390

Where did your budget go?

Here, this includes a 1440p 144hz IPS free-sync display

 

might be worth going for the OC'd i5 but you're spending way too much on your motherboard there man.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

I'd probably go for different RAM, not a huge fan of the red heatsinks, iirc Kingston's HyperX Fury Black is slightly cheaper than the LPX.

I recall the NEX not being quite as good of the G2, GS, P2 and T2.

I'd been assured that 550 watts was sufficient for this config of a Skylake K CPU, and R9 390(X)


Like I said I'm not sure storage is going to be a huge problem for me, as I can always add more in later.

I'm guessing the 390 performs close enough at 1440p to the 390X.


I was after a pretty decent FPS scale from going to 1440p/390(X) instead of 1080p/380(X). 

 

@Streetguru Yeah I know the Z170-Pro (Non Gaming Pro) from Asus is nearly US$200, I've started liking the Z170 Krait (Don't remember how much the Z170-SLI Plus was from MSI.) a little better, I just wished that it had that plastic covering the I/O like most of the Asus boards. I don't really like some of the shortcuts that Asus took on the Z170-A though they're most cosmetic (Not a fully black PCB and a cheaply done I/O shield.) 

 

PC only I am under budget for the PC only budget I wanted to be within. If I did get to (or closer to) $1,500 I would have to spend less on peripherals.

Here's the Krait Z170 http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qqMKFT

Here's the Asus Z170 http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qmZPbv

Both are under budget. Technically if I wanted to take money away from Peripherals I could possibly afford to fit an i7 6700K in either build. 

 

Within my PC budget, I could swap out both the Krait and Z170-Pro for an MSI Z170 SLI Plus and i7 6700K.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3mZPbv


Edit: 

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tM7gYJ 

I could do this if I wanted to keep the Strafe RGB...

Or

Save a little bit, I still wouldn't have it in my budget do both 390X and Mechanical Keyboard

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/X4VRf7

 

I'm not sure I really want or need an i7 though. I mean I guess it'd be more of a long term thing instead of waiting on Kaby Lake next year.

One thing I want to point out: 550W is not enough for an r9 390/x

Anywhere you read would say that the absolute minimum is 600-650W. Now either you're going to listen to someone that has done a load of research on it, or you're going to not listen and probably screw your computer...your choice.

As for PSUs, I generally go for the 750W that has a lot of good reviews. Eg. EVGA generally makes great PSUs

@byalexandr has run a 290 on a 400w PSU You can CF on a 750w

Also Jay got the 80 plus thing wrong

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

550W is plenty for a 390X. Stop acting like a smartass.

It's a great video to show people that computers use a lot less power than people think but he did get his 80 PLUS explanation wrong.

I would also recommend going with a MSI board and GPU but you talked about not caring about the warranty.

Yeah I'm aware of Asus not having a very reliable warranty service. 

 

If I did go MSI, it would probably be either the Z170 SLI Plus or the Z170 Krait X3 (reasons for the X3 instead of the -A). Rear I/O isn't quite as good as the Asus boards.

Are you going to be doing anything other the browsing the web!!!! That estimate is at idle. I currently own a R9 390 and whenever I start gaming it automatically jumps up to 100% load. Get at least a 600-650.
