First Gaming Build

[anushka.samarasinghe]

Hi everybody, I've been wanting my own rig for a while now and I've put together a list of components that can be purchased in my residing country(Sri Lanka)

 

This PC will be primarily for 1080p Gaming and Video Editing and I will upgrade to at-least a 1440p monitor in the near future.

I want this PC to run the latest games for the next 3 years at max settings 1440p

 

Please advice on my build list and i have attached two of the store price list links if anyone wants give me a better alternative.

Would recommend upgrading to a 1080 if your looking for 1440p maxed out for the next 3+ years, the 1070 may need some tweaking of settings. Also, you should get an SSD for boot drive. Once you go SSD you will NEVER.... EEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.... be the same again... Also, from personal experience the Cooler Master JetFlo fans.. they literally sound like a jet engine... I would highly recommend NOT getting those and get something from Corsair like the Airflow 120mm Quiet Editions. 

 

 

Oh, and welcome to LTT!!!

Recently used JetFlo and they really do sound like jet engines

THESE ONE'S OP!

[Herman Mcpootis]

Not the corsair vs, not good. Especially for a rig like this. What other choices do you have?

Thanks legacy99, I don't think I could go for a 1080 at this juncture cause it's just too expensive, however thanks for the fan tip, is 4 fans overkill though?

no, just that the jetflo's are extremely loud, they do legitimately sound like jet engines even with LNA's attached. The Corsair AF120QE's would be ideal.

I want to get everyone's advice on each component, and tell me if I'm not being practical with the processor,ram,VGA etc..

 

And are Palit cards good?

 

Should I go with an RX 480 8GB?

[Skiiwee29]

Palit is exclusive to Europe so I can not comment on them, but I do believe TTL at OC3D does review them so I assume they will be decent and near identical to all the rest of the mainstream cards.

Here is a video of the fans.

 

 

[anushka.samarasinghe]

I'm a bit confused as to which motherboard I should go for, the MSI z170 g43 or the Asus z170 pro gaming?

 

Also any major benefits between the i5 6600k and the i7 6700?
