[Grovers1]

Hey everyone, iv got a few suggestions for my build and this is what i have.

Could someone look it over and check compatibility / give suggestions? I wont be overclocking

 

Requirements:

Budget: $1100AUD can go to $1,200Max

- Intel core

- SSD

- Wireless internet

- Case with side window (i do like this case)

- I think the rx480 looks good

- If everything is from the same store or 2stores it would be even better (because of postage).

 

I will be using this for

- Minecraft (modpacks 150-200mods)

- CSGO, Halo  (Mid-High Settings)

- Work, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Web browsing.

Motherboard. Z stands for....overclocking with a z. If you want to oc get the 6600k, if you don't stick with a H170

Your suggesting quite a high priced network adapter?

[Silencer]

Okay from what I read no H/B chipsets supports more than 2133 so I'd just get some quality 16 GB 2133 RAM. RAM speed doesn't matter for the most part anyway

How much difference is there? is it very noticeable?

Is this ASRock H170? if so which version?

 

[Shahnewaz]

Suggestions? Sure!

You don't have an unlocked CPU, so pick an H110 motherboard.

Do you need 16GB of RAM? For gaming, 8GB is enough. Skylake CPUs only support 2133MHz speeds. So get a single 8GB 2133MHz RAM kit.

Storage: Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 480GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($159.00 @ Umart)

That SSD has numerous complaints about the memory type being changed. So get something like an ADATA, Sandisk or a Samsung SSD.

Well, if that speeds are fine for you, then I guess keep it.

 

Rest is good.

[Silencer]

About the wireless card, there seems to be some issues with the tp link. And ram speed won't be noticeable on the user end

EDIT:

Okay strictly speaking not true. There will be a little difference in a few tasks but for the most part 2133 and 2400 will perform very similar

Yes there are H170 Asrock boards. If it is it will say *brand name* H170

[Grovers1]

looks good, would recommend 1tb instead of 500gb but if you think its enough then sure.

[Silencer]

Ah you're Aussie. Expect a $30-$50 markup on the 480. And price difference between 500gb and 1tb is tiny

I have used 280Gb of storage on my laptop in maybe about 1.5years, and i can always add another if needed right?

Yup. Just stick with the ssd until you need more space and then get a WD 1tb black

$300-320 is a bit more than what I planed to spend on a GPU.

If I used Intel's integrated graphics for now could I just slide it in later when I get it or will it require me to temperaly remove parts to be able to slide it in?

Also do I need to configure anything when I installed it?

yes, just remove the pci covers in the case and fit it in. uninstall your old intel iGPU drivers before installing it to prevent driver conflicts.

Get the GPU before the mass storage so you can play games comfortably:
