[hollow_ataraxia]

Hello. planning to build my first PC. Here are the parts.

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/W6jmgL

 

I am kind of stuck with the motherboard and the case. I really want the board has the Build-in Wifi, and there isn't much (cheap) choice. 

The goal is trying to build something better than gaming but not professional. Having the potentiality to upgrade. Also enough for VR.  

 

What do you guys recommend? Plz help!

Forgot to post reasoning. That motherboard is overpriced for your intentions and a waste, so I lowered the motherboard which would work just as fine especially if you're not overclocking, which you can't even REALLY do with the i5 6500, so, I also added a 6600k with that saved money and switched to an evo 212, in the event that you don't overclock, which I don't think you will be. With this saved money, I switched it to a 1070 and then I also switched the SSD out for a cheaper one, which will run slower, but it will likely be hardly noticeable if you're not transferring files like your life depended on it.  I also added a 1tb hard drive for mass storage, and a define R5 which you can switch out for any ~$100 case, its sort of a placeholder but is good as well. You save $100 which you can spend on an OS or more storage or anything you want like a keyboard

Also i would change that PSU,since its the 2nd tier which is not bad,but you can get the Corsair RMx 650w for just $1 more which has 100w more and is Tier 1 + IS Fully Modular for better looks from @STRMfrmXMN PSU Tier List

Eh, his will work but the RMx isn't bad, no.

 I don't really need a 1TB Hard Drive. 512 SSD is enough. Thanks! not that much things to store.

Yeah like i said it will work just fine,but for $1 more you get a 1st Tier PSU,650w (100w more) and is Fully Modular while the Seasonic is Semi-Modular

DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT spend so much on cpu cooler when won't be able to overclock since it's a k series and do not waste money on an overclocking motheboard like a z170 because you won't be able to overclock, you will be fine with something like a b150 mobo.

How about this? http://pcpartpicker.com/list/nCnb8K It's a bit over budget but it does have a GTX 1080.

Motherboards with built-in wifi are usually expensive, so I'd go with the PCI-E solution

Oh yeah, I forgot to include that in the partslist I sent. That's a good build but he's not looking for professional, just a bit above gaming, so maybe drop the 6700k to a 6600k and save some money as it seems like a waste in his case.

[GarnetDevil]

@Shd0w2 Or just go with i7 6700 + H170 board, having a beefy CPU while budget allows is kinda good though

Thanks!

Thinking I might use this one. 

I might change the i5 6600k to 6600, delete the Hard drive and get a better looking case!

Yep! That works fine and you'll end up under budget too, so you can spend it on the OS, a monitor, keyboard / mic / headphones, etc.
