PET's High End PC

[PET]

Hello beautiful people!

 

The time has come to upgrade my old rig:

 

CPU: i5 2500k - OC to 4.3gHZ
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce 670 OC WindForce 3X 4gb DDR5 256bit
Mainboard: P8P67 WS REVOLUTION
SSD: SSD Intel 530 Series 240GB
RAM: 16gb Corsair XMS3
Cooler: Scythe Ninja 3
Sound Card: Crative X-FI Titanium PCI-E
Case: Corsair 650D

 

Got this one in 2011, Video Card in 2013. It still works really really well. Anyway...

For my upcoming PC I actually had to make a 5 year loan. I feel a little bit bad & strange about it. My budget is about 2300$ let's say... but this also includes a gaming chair.

 

From this old PC I will keep the Case, the HDD's & the PSU (Leadex Gold 650W)
So this is what I want to get right now. Everything is open to suggestions:

 

Motherboard: 

ASUS Z170 DELUXE

I think this card is a beast. I like that it has 2 LAN ports. Current motherboard also has 2 and they actually proved useful. My PS4 doesn't want to connect to the wi-fi so I'm sharing a connection with it.

Also, this card wasn't in stock for the past 1 month ... and right now it appears they only have 1 in stock so I have to move fast. I might order this one right now. So guys... should I?

 

CPU:

Core i7 6700K 4.0GHz box

Pretty straight forward. Right?

 

Cooler:

I'm really open to suggestions. Something that it's max 100$. Maybe maaaybe if there is something good I might take it. I was looking at a Noctua NH-D15 but I think it might be to big?

 

RAM:

Corsair Vengeance LPX Red 16GB DDR4 3000MHz CL15 Dual Channel Kit

2 sticks... good MHz... and the price is around 110$

Corsair Vengeance LPX Red 16GB DDR4 3200MHz CL14 Dual Channel Kit

About 120$ ... they seem better than the first one?

HyperX Predator Black 16GB DDR4 3000MHz CL15 Dual Channel Kit

Those are actually in stock and I can get them in 2 days with the rest. 126$

 

Video Card:

I want to go for a GTX 1070. I find 1080 to expensive. Right now it's a big problem because they don't have to many in stock here in Romania. They do have some founder's edition... I also have NO idea which one is the best, advantages/disadvantages. I heard that the STIX might be good?

EDIT: They do have a GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1070 G1 GAMING 8GB DDR5 256-bit. The price is about 587$

 

3TB HDD:

Right now I have 1 SSD. 2x 1TB HDD. 1x External 1.5TB HDD. I want to get rid of the 2x 1TB HDDs and get a 3TB one. I heard that HGSC have a low fail rate but I can only find a NAS at a decent price. I also see a Ultrastar 7K4000 but that's like 300$ ... way to much. So any suggestions? Let's say maximum 150$?

 

Chair:

DXRacer King

I'm sick of having cheap chairs. I want something that can support my back. I'm 1.82m talk and ... about 125 kg... so I'm fat. From the reviews I saw I would fit nicely into a King.

 

USB Sound Card:

Creative Omni 5.1

Well I used to do streaming & videos in the past and I found it very useful to be able to have a normal sound card & a USB sound card. I could switch form windows where to output the sound. Can I do this with this? The current USB I have it's from a crappy Steelseries Headset & it's pretty bad. I want to replace it.

 

 

So this is it. I'm open to suggestions. 

 

Thank You Guys! <3

Well, I'm a bit sad because I didn't got any replays

Ordered the stuff, put the stuff in, got a shitload of BSODs so now I'm returning the motherboard, cpu and ram.

 

CPU will remain the same.

I really like this Motherboard features so maybe... I will get the same... But I'm open to suggestions. I want something with 2 lan ports.

I want any 2x 8gb Ram that the new motherboard will support.

 

The problems I had were pretty nasty. In the end I wasn't able to boot Ubuntu, not Winows 7 on DVD, not windows 10 on USB or DVD... whenever the win loading screen appeared I was getting a BSOD with a lot of different errors.

 

Anyway, please... guys... any suggestions?

 

Thank You
