for my friend

[Shippogirl161]

i have a friend who has maped out this build but to me it looks like he is wasting money on his storage set up what do ya'll think ?  http://pcpartpicker.com/user/shippogirl16/saved/gbwzyc

depends on what he is gonna do with it, he has a lot of ram but if he is going to video edit with it its worth the price if he is only going to play games he wont need more than 16 gb

[Wyzzy Moon]

With those components that is not the only thing he is wasting money on but if that is your budget it looks balanced to me

[Godlygamer23]

What's the purpose of the machine?

[JHY]

SSD is worth getting if he needs to load up files very quickly.

[Shippogirl161]

he doesnt really have a budget, he is kinda a brat and whats the best of the best

gaming and streaming mostly some light editing

That the storage, the GPU, the Mobo and the CPU are overkill.

but i think going with a hhd would save him some money and give him more memory

I doubt he'll need 32GB of RAM then. He could also save some money by using a hard drive rather than an SSD for the secondary drive.

It's also a good idea to get into the habit of quoting people as most people do not auto-follow threads that they post in.

no he has two different ssd and i think killing the smaller one and replacing it with a hhd and using the ssd for you start up storage would save him a little money and make it where he can have more wiggle room with his pcie slots

Does he even plan to overclock?

im not sure if he knows anything about over clocking. i would push for him to do it in the longing run but i also don't know how much he knows about the subject, or is welling to learning how.

If he doesn't, or says he will never do it(doubtful of anyone who says that), he could go with a 6700 perhaps and purchase a Hyper 212 Evo instead. Though he will lose CPU performance since the 6700 does have a lower clock speed.

Well if he has money,why not?

I think value is important even if you have the money to blow.

Since he will game+stream and even edit, it is not bad to have 32GB

But, is it necessary? The OP mentioned light editing, not heavy.

And there are cheaper X99 MoBos, that is really damn expensive

32 GB?

make him get a 6950X and a Titan XP, then when he can't afford food he'll realize how stupid that is. Alternatively, there's always this: https://www.redcross.org/donate/donation

he is about to go into the air force so im telling him to wait till he is out so it doesnt just sit around not getting used
