Posted July 21, 2016 You don't need a Z170 motherboard as said before, you can save a bit of money that way. And since you don't plan on buying an overclockable CPU, you will not need an expensive cooler. Something like a Pure Rock or Hyper 212 will be just fine, like any sub-50$ cooler. Corsair mechanical keyboards are incredible when it comes to build quality, but they're not cheap.

I'd suggest to go to a physical store or friends to try some out as the keys feel different Just now, vberl said: I live in sweden and currently the i5 6600k is only 11 usd more expensive than the i5 6500.

Corsair mechanical keyboards are incredible when it comes to build quality, but they're not cheap. You can BCLK overclock this CPU pretty well with a Z170 as I just found out today. He might also want to get a K processor in the future maybe with Kaby Lake. Unless he denies both of those things I would not specifically advise him to not get such a board. 38 minutes ago, vberl said: Also are there any keyboards that you could recommend with mechanical keys? You might have a look at Ducky Keyboards and what they cost in your country. Incredible build quality with very basic and minimalistic looks. I love it. Depending on whether you want to overclock your CPU or maybe upgrade it to something better in the future I'd go with a bigger noctua one. If that is not the case just get a 212 Evo and spend the extra money you get from the cooler (and obviously the money cou can safe on the motherboard too if you don't want to OC/upgrade to a K processor) on the keyboard.
