Future proof and good build ?

[IslandStone]

Hi!  

 

I want to build something that will last long and not brake my wallet. I will for example not want Fury X or GTX 980 Ti GPU because of the price.

I'm going to use my Desktop for multiple purposes: Gaming, Video-Editing, 3D-programs (Autocad etc.), other stuff..

My budget is about the same as the parts shown under.

 

What are your thoughts? 
 

This is my current build-plan:

Case: - Fractal Design Define R5

Motherboard: - Asus z170 Deluxe (wifi+futureproof-adapters and reviews convinced me over Asus z170-A)

CPU: - Intel I7 6700k (Have already bought - It was on sale)

CPU-Cooler: - Noctua NH-D15S

GPU: - MSI Radeon R9 390

Memory: - HyperX Fury 2133mhz Cl14 16 GB kit (2x8GB)

SSD: - Samsung 850 EVO 500GB.

Storage: - Seagate SSHD 2TB (aprox. same price as HD).

Blu-Ray Writer: - ??? Might need/might not need.Thoughts?

PSU: - Corsair RM850x 850W (this was on sale as well - know it's super-overkill)

 

Monitor: - Acer MG270HU 144Hz Freesync TN or Asus MG279Q 144Hz (ONLY 90Hz with Freesync) IPS Freesync.

 

- Have I forgotten anything?

- Skylake-compatible components: Does it matter/What will I achieve?

 

Thanks for all answers!

Are you powering the build with potatoes?

HAHA!  
Completely forgotten.. That should be a Linus-project, to power a Desktop with 10k potatoes  

PSU: - Corsair RM850x 850W

Seems good

I'd get a faster kit of RAM since the board supports it and some games / applications are starting to benefit from higher memory bandwidth.

 

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231875 This one goes for $70, or $63 while it's on sale.

Good point, however not able to ship to Norway  I'll look into some alternatives...

Hopefully you'll find something around DDR4-3000 that's not too expensive

The best I can find at this point, is G.Skill Ripsaws V Silver DDR4 3200Mhz Cl16 2x8 GB at 115 USD.

The ones at top go for 71 USD.

 

Should maybe wait for a future sale I suppose.. ?

I wouldn't sweat it if faster ram is that much more expensive. Maybe there's a 2400 or 2800 kit that costs about the same as the 2133.

Currently there aren't. I'll be patient and wait for my ram-sales-prey

I really dont think you will need a BLU ray writer. Even if you are a movie buff, and want to watch stuff on your home theater rig, there are plenty of streaming options available.

You are probably right.

I'm sitting here considering that I maybe should even go for the budget case Fractal Design Define S instead (has no 5.25" bay). Saves 37 USD on the smaller case..

Yup, I'd go for the Define S as well. Still about the same room for your components.
