Hey I'm back with another build:

 

PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZDYBZ8
 

CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($238.98 @ NCIX US) 
CPU Cooler: Corsair H60 54.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler  ($59.99 @ Newegg) 
Motherboard: MSI Z170I GAMING PRO AC Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard  ($182.98 @ Newegg) 
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2666 Memory  ($79.88 @ OutletPC) 
Storage: Transcend MTS600 512GB M.2-2260 Solid State Drive  ($189.99 @ B&H) 
Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 390 8GB Video Card  ($254.99 @ Newegg) 
Case: Thermaltake Core V21 MicroATX Mini Tower Case  ($39.99 @ Newegg) 
Power Supply: LEPA MaxGold 500W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply  ($85.20 @ Amazon) 
 

Unfortunatley I cannot use the above pricing becuase I live in Japan - where everything is for some reason either hard to source or expensive.

 

The SSD is on sale for 8000JPY.

 

Couldn't find the H80 at a good price so went for the H60 which I recently used in a build for my sister's new rig - I found it to perform extremely well for OC - I got the same 6600k that i'll be using in this build stable at 4.6ghz - I saw on some forums that some people have gotten almost up to 5, but alas I couldn't make it work.

 

The mobo/psu is a combo around 4000JPY off (woot!)

 

The case I found really cheap @ only 1500JPY.

 

Tis my first Z170 build so I'm pretty excited about the OC potential.

 

Neho, parts arriving over the next two days - will post pics.
