Looking for CPU suggestions for new build

New build uses - Gaming, Netflix, Video Editing for the YouTubes. 

 

I don't really have a budget, but I'd like to spend less that 1500 for Mobo, CPU, and RAM

 

I was considering the 4790K/MSI Z97 Krait, but I'm open to other ideas. I'm also open to other motherboards that are Black/White with M.2 compatibility for a Samsung 950 PRO. Both board and chip should be decent for overclocking. I'm considering 32 GB of dominator platinum as well... If that matters.

 

Thanks guys

Thanks. 6700K should be more than sufficient.

6600k - 250

Asus Z170 Deluxe - 320

Dominator Platinum 4x8gb at 3000mhz - 215

950 Pro 256gb - 200

NZXT 340 - 70

EVGA 850 P2 - 130

 

There's a basic computer with room left for a gpu in your choice. It's all in a white/black color. 

That's 1,185 bucks. 500 bucks left for a gpu and or custom white/black sleeved psu cables.

 

Add 100 bucks for going with a 6700k over the 6600k.

Of course Asus has other cheaper white motherboards, if you don't need all the features offered by the Deluxe motherboard.

You're the best! I actually Already have the other half of the PC. It's going in a Define S And I'm going to use my Corsair... 870A? Something like that... Got the full custom water loop planned out too.. But I'll definitely run through your suggestions.

I didn't know man. 

 

AX860 or AX860i, unless it's an older psu. 

It's just stuff I know that's white and black. I almost went that route too with my 6700k build. I went red/gray/black. 

 

Hope you enjoy and find more white and black stuff.
