Intel 1151 Build

[Val411739]

This is what i have selected so far. Ive been planning this build for about 3 days now. Anyway im starting off with the g4400 because its cheap and itll get the job done until i get more cash for an i7 6700k. What are your thoughts on this build. Let me know if i need to change anything for compatability. Thanks. I will buy more things down the line like a nice water cooler and maybe a 1070. This is for now till i get more cash.

You won`t really need an i7 for gaming at all, you won`t notice a difference. What is your budget tho?

Well so far so good. But for gaming you won´t need a 6700k, just settle for a i5 6600k, which might be in your budget, with following cuts: Your PSU is a bit overkill, 500W is enough, GTX 960 is not so worth it. I personally would wait for the RX480 (wait for benchmarks) or a R9 390. 1000$ should work with this.

i just want expandability. I think 650W is perfect. and i dont want an amd gpu, the 970 isnt worth it i heard u can only use 3.5gbs of vram

Then you may have to wait for the 1060, 1070 builds are over $1000

i think i might not buy the 960 and just use a low end gpu for a while and buy something beefier,

Ok, so 970 has 4 GB but 0,5 of which are slower, but they are there. Maybe look on ebay or so for a used 970 or even 980. Or wait until you can offord a 1070

you can buy every components but the GPU now and save until you can afford a 1070, It's a great card for 1080p gaming

Why have you asked for the advice of the forum if you're not willing to listen to it?
