1500$ budget pc

[Jack Dvorak]

I have 1500$ to blow on a PC mainly for gaming and very very minor video editing. I would like to try to stay a little below budget.

Hey!

 

I found this! Seems pretty good overall, plus it's $500 under your budget and you get to say your rocking a 1070!

But I suggested a 6700K?

 

I've been suggesting beefy CPUs even for people who don't do content creation these days. Fact of the matter is, GPU price / performance is through the roof right now, and people are able to accomodate better CPUs thanks to that.

What resolution (and refresh rate) are your monitors? A high end graphics card may be way overkill for your displays.

i5's would lack in video editing and in very intense CPU games would maybe bottleneck so we would have to OC

Nex PSU'S suck

I have a 1080p 50 inch TV with a rate of 60hz may move to a 1440p with a better refresh rate tho

They don't suck, they're just bad price / performance. (a couple tiers below the GS and GQ)

 

Also anyone who doesn't recommend fast DDR4 on Z170 does not know what they're talking about

We could do a X99 build with a 1070*

Yea that's what im saying they suck for the price and a nowhere near G2'S for the same price the G2 has 100W less + 750W for his build is overkill

I think a GTX 1070 will be a good card for you. It'll do 1440p just fine

Build looks pretty good, not a fan of Seagate drives and 120 / 140mm rads are noisier than similarly priced air coolers (which also perform about the same). Oh and no reason not to get the G1 Gaming 1070 that's cheaper unless you're really concerned about customer service.

 

Also your signature gives the optical illusion of not being parallel while on night theme.

[Cyracus]

Since video editing is a minor use case definitely get a 6600k, make sure you get a good cooler that will fit in the case, of course a z170 mobo, the ram, storage and power supply suggestions have been fine except the EVGA nex (to my knowledge) 

 

Really the 4 core 6600k is going to perform about the same when clocked the same as an i7

Maybe I could do a better mobo and CPU and get a 960 to upgrade to a 1070 later?

Yea a 6800K for gaming and minor rendering is to overkill...buying a 960 then upgrading to a 1070 would do you no good since when you buy the 960 and then if you try to sell it you would get 0 pennies because of the RX 480,RX 470,RX 460,GTX 1060

The 6700K will do you well for a while honestly, I don't see a reason to cripple your gaming capabilities for a promise.

Don't go by LTT's half ass benchmarks, go by DigitalFoundry

 

The i7 6700K edges out the i5 in many titles that remain relevant today, and that edge would only become more apparent once an OS gets full with antivirus software, videos running in the background and the like.

I'll get a 6800k for the heck of it and a 1060 when they are available
