[JustAnotherGeek]

Hello all! I wanted to get one final approval before I order all my parts. I received a lot of help from another member but deicded to make a change to the motherboard. I didnt want to bother the other member so I decided to post again to get everyone's approval. Please review and let me know if you see any issues. Computer is for video editing on a low budget. Thanks in advanced!

Replace the motherboard for a different one. That is used for overclocking. You've chosen a locked one.

Why an i7 for an RX 480?

Seems like a bit of a waste.

 

Motherboard is also quite expensive, and you could get a better SSD for the price.

Either replace the motherboard for different chipset or step up to 6700K.

 

And PSU is overkill, a good 550W is all you need if you never consider to Crossfire that 480 in the future.

I want a motherboard that I can handle upgrades within a year. This one was recommended on my last build

but I thought about getting something a little better for future upgrades

The problem here is your processor choice.

If you're going to stick with that 6700 non-K version, then you won't need Z170 motherboard.

I'd say just get the 6700K for $50 more.

 

Okay, you know what, give us the budget and we'll cook something else for you.

Personally I find the case and PSU overkill and you can't decide on the proper CPU+mobo combo.

Lets stay around $1300 for the budget.

Do you absolutely need that optical drive?

I do not need that specific one

I mean if you need it then I'll include it in the build.

If you don't really use any CD/DVD then just get rid of it to fund something else in the build.

 

And do you prefer any specific color scheme?

I added just in case if I needed it. I know it is rare that I find that I need a optical drive but I want it just in case. I was going to go with a white case /blue LED scheme

I didn't change the case, that's personal preference, just change few things here and there and 650W is enough for crossfire 480 if you want to add another card in the future.

Obviously not the best I can do without proper research on every single components, others can help fix the list later.

Buy a i5 6600K and GTX 1070. Mobo is so useless with that locked i7 when you get a b150 or h170 you can get a better SSD. And do not buy that case because it looks like you are not custom looping your system so why full tower? If you want a sharp edgey design case i recommend you corsair spec alpha here is a link http://www.corsair.com/en-us/landing/specalpha. Have a good day mate.
