Help for a friend.

[Kryptic BladeZz]

I have a friend in Belgium who is thinking about buying a new PC. 

Was wondering if anyone would like to put together an Intel/NVidia PCPartPicker build. Budget is 1500 Euros.

Think of it as a competition, best build wins.

Yes, I know it's in euros, look at the symbol.

It's $30 over, if he can spend $1500 I'm sure an extra $30 won't kill him.

the symbol is English Pounds not Dollars lol. Pound is more expensive then euro.

 

Even though the pound to euro rate has gone down to like 1.16 from like 1.4 after great brittan left EU but it is still more expesnive

Then he can get a Z170A instead of the board I recommended.

Why a xeon, why a hitachi HDD? I'd say replace the hitachi one with a WD one. And replace the xeon with a 6th gen i7

the Xeon performs very similar to an i7 6700, just without an iGPU. hitachi drives have one of the lowest failure rates, on par with or even better than western digital ones.

Thanks guys!

I'd agree with hermans build I have a build with a 6700k but it's very pricy the Xeon is a nice sub if you don't want integrated graphics ?

thats my build you might want to check with others but it is a strong build and under budget room for some storage upgrades
