First time PC builder needs advice

[denz03]

Hello guys,

 

It's my first time building a PC. I've done some research and came up with a parts list that I feel would satisfy my needs.

I was wondering if anyone would like to check the parts that I am planning to go with and give me further advice?

 

Parts List:

 

CPU: Intel i7-6800K

GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 1070 Strix

Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix X99

Ram: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory

Storage: Mushkin Enhanced Reactor 1TB + Samsung 850 Evo 500GB

CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15

PSU: EVGA 850W 80+ Gold

Case: Corsair Obsidian 750D full tower case

 

I use my current PC (MSI GS60 Ghost Pro laptop (i7-4710 & GTX 870M)) to game (usually fps and racing games), model and test parts for small engineering projects (SolidWorks, Catia, Ansys).

 

Thanks a lot for your input

Tone down to a 5820K and a cheaper X99 motherboard (namely Asus X99-A II), and you can get a GTX 1080 instead of the 1070

looks good! Just making sure, that power supply is a g2, correct?

Yes It is. It's an EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 to be exact.

Funny video

You could skimp on the 850evo and go crucial to save some coins to put toward that 1080 which I second as a good idea.

My brother accidentally poked a straight hole through his motherboard with a screwdriver and it still works

You're lucky he poked it through a bit that didn't have a circuit in ti

 

That or it fucked a bit of a parallel circuit and only that doesn't work

I put a deep scratch straight through a circuit once and it still worked, no clue what that circuit went to to this day
