Go to solution Solved by antisleep,

i7-6700K / GTX 1080 / 16GB RAM / 240GB SSD

Hi, i am about to build a gaming pc but i am not so expirienced and need a bit of help with the compatibility of motherboards, cpu, ram and graphicscard's. I have 16000 kr (Norwegian currency)  wich is about 1900 $ but the prices are a bit different so if you just know the us price it will be about 1800 $ and i want to get the most out of my money so i am buying at blackfriady. So if you have the time and expertize let me know and tell me what you know. ps: you don't have to think about monitors, keyboards and mice.

What resolution will you play at? This is complete overkill for 1080p60Hz but good for 1080p 144Hz and 1440p 60/144Hz and decent for 4K 60Hz

Ok so i hate when people say like "I have a 3000 euro budget which is about $4000 US"

 

That does not mean your gonna have the same specs with a $4000 budget in the US and in Norway as a i7 6700k is $310 in the US while it could be $400 in Norway

Are you buying your parts locally or having them shipped from stores like Amazon UK/Germany?

 

If locally, know any site we can browse parts from?
