[Intel Build Suggestions]

[Hikkarii]

Hello, to first start this off I'd like you guys to know that I am currently running a AMD build. What I am trying to achieve, is to build a computer with top graded components but as well not severely expensive. (Like a 1K CPU). I'd like to max out my games when I can on single player, get a good high FPS on them, and have game-play smooth as butter. However, I recently bought myself a GTX 1070 FTW edition GPU and it's bottlencking my AMD chip as well making my PSU (CXM) have a very very severe coil whine. Severe enough to where it hurts your head hearing it. 

 

So here is my current build which I put together thinking it'll be adequate enough.

Please note; I do understand that some of these parts may seem "rather overkill". So instead of telling me so, just accept it I guess :p. 

 

Also, please note that the CPU and Motherboard are just placeholders. I will be getting the new Intel i7 7700k and a decent motherboard like the one placed here~

 

Current Intel Build:

CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($329.99 @ Newegg) 
CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X61 106.1 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler  ($114.99 @ Newegg)

Storage: Samsung 850 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($121.69 @ Newegg) 
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($52.99 @ Newegg) 
Case: Corsair 750D ATX Full Tower Case  ($99.99 @ Newegg) 
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA P2 850W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply  ($138.49 @ SuperBiiz)

Total: $1266.52

 

* I did not include a GPU due to me already having a GTX 1070. Other than that, can anyone help perhaps make sure these parts are good quality / performance? I suppose. This'll be my first High-End build.

Go for a high capacity MX300 SSD over that Evo/Blue combo you've got rn

So, like buy a 750gb and store everything on that?

That's one option, if you really need the extra space then stick with the 250GB variant, it's equivalent to an 850 EVO without the "industry standard" price tag

 I see. It's not all about the space, just I currently have a 850 Evo and it's starting to show signs of slowing down or something. Perhaps due to all the factory resets I done, or all the data that's been put onto it. Though honestly i dont know if it really is the ssd, or some other part problem. An example would be mainly when I drag programs to another area, or when I click and copy all the files in my download folder to delete. Sometimes (most of the time) it hangs and loads for a while before popping up the option to delete. Kinda weird, I just feel as if its the SSD.

 

But it's also the idea of putting all the files on the ssd. xD. But i'll take your choice under consideration. ^^
