Posted November 24, 2016 I've been deciding on my parts list for some time now and I can never seem to find a list and stick with it. At this point my budget is around $1000 but my parts lists more than $100 over this. I'm wondering if any of you guys have ways that I could make my build cheaper. I'm tempted to buy an i5-6500 with a cheaper motherboard rather than a i5-6600k. This is my current build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 24, 2016 you could get cheaper ram. at least go for 2133 hz in stead of 2666, the difference in performance is very little. maybe even go for 8GB in stead of 16GB ~i5-7600k @5GHz ~Be Quiet!

Posted November 24, 2016 You could always drop the Z170 chipset to save some bills on the Motherboard and swap the 6600K for a standard 6600, 6500, or 6400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 24, 2016 52 minutes ago, Oswin said: that is a 6700k vs 6600k I know, but 6700 is equal to 6700k when not overclocked. You are probably afraid to see your point wasn't right and 6700 is better at gaming AND much better at rendering because of the extra threads.
