$600 Build

[Chicken1353]

Ok so this is my second build first one for me. I'm building a sorta gaming computer I'm not a heavy pc gamer but I want to start getting into it and I only have a laptop right now and I put an ssd and more ram but that's not enough for me. I've always really liked computers since I was little and am finally getting into it since I have a job. And  before anything is said yes I know this doesn't have a graphics card I'm going to add one later when the prices aren't crazy. I'm thinking of a RX 480 or 470 eventually 2 if I need it in the end. Just like some input on this build thanks. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/chicken1353/saved/6gFJ7P

As said above, dont bother with a Z170 unless you want to overclock with a unlocked CPU. Get a B150/H170 motherboard to save money (Unless getting 6600k).

So $600 without a GPU?

 

I recommend this.

It's an overclokcable CPU build that's in general pretty great.

 

Oh the venturi fan is great and is there to replace the crappy LED fan on the CPU cooler, which is otherwise amazing performance.
