Hey people!

 

i am looking to build my first pc, and have been looking around for hardware and stuff

 

CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz 
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D9L
Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS VIII GENE 
Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4-2133 Memory
Storage: Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 240GB 2.5"
Case: Corsair Air 240
Power Supply: Corsair CXM 650W 
 

As for the video card i was thinking about a rx480, but was considering waiting for some costum ones to come out. 

my plan was to start with a single one, and then upgrade with another one for crossfire in a couple of months.

 

What do you think?

dump that v300 for an adata sp550 or ocz trion ssds, the v300 has terrible performance for an ssd. otherwise it looks fine.

Budget and country of origin.

I will most likely not respond to you in a thread unless you quote me.

$500 PC | $800 PC | $1000 PC | $1200 PC | $1500 PC | $2000 PC | $2500 PC | $3000 PC | $4000 PC

Spoiler

Damnit Carl (My portable POS):

CPU: Core i7-6700HQ

Motherboard: Toshiba L55-C5392 Mobo

RAM: 8GB DDR3 (even though I have Skylake)

GPU: Intel HD Graphics 530

Case: Toshiba L55-C5392 Case

Storage: 525 GB Crucial MX300 SSD

PSU: Whatever power jack comes with it

Display: Some 1366 x 768 garbage + an OK 1080p monitor

Cooling: Not enough + an external laptop tray

Keyboard: The included one

Mouse: $4 Lenovo 3D Optical Mouse (not as bad as you (rightly) assumed)

Sound: The Skullcandy branding right under the power button should clue you in

around $1000 without the video card(s). i live in denmark, so availability and pricing might be a bit different
