He's from Denmark, and there's no real budget, so his currency is DKK

Your sentence is very confusing. First you're saying he doesn't have a "real budget" and then you tell me his currency is DKK. Isn't everyone eligible to have a budget of their own?

Looks really solid to me. Are you sure about the Astro's though? For that price I would go for a pair of Hi-Fi Headphones and a Blue Snowball mic or something like that.

Already bought the headset though. I'm getting a snowball ice too.

I'm sitting right next to him, and I know his build plans. That's why I answered that he has no real budget and that he is from Denmark and in Denmark we use DKK (Danish Krone).

Best regards, Mikkel

Well, your friend just said his budget is in between 12000 to 15000 DKK. Isn't that his budget?

Looks nice! But if you're going for a black and red theme you may just go with the normal Asus Z170 Pro Gaming. Also, what will you use it for?

Is the normal Asus z170 Pro Gaming red? And do you mean what i will use the computer for?

That was just to give you some numbers to work with so you didn't suggest TITAN X double sli for him. He even asked me if he should actually give you a budget.

@BlackLivesMatter, I got a cheaper Z170 motherboard with a black/red design which will suit your theme. The PCI-Express slots are also reinforced to prevent it breaking off when fitting in a heavy graphics card. I also doubled your storage to a 525 GB SSD and a 2TB HDD. :)

Doesn't everyone need to start with a budget before they build a PC? :)

I looked at Computersalg.dk and saw that this just costs 100 kr more than the samsung SSD, i'd suggest getting that instead, it's over double the capacity

Well, we just have a max limit of what we know we can't afford, but there's no set budget we can't go over.

We're kind of at our limit right now, but if it benefits the performance by enough we look into upgrading to that instead.

Best regards, Mikkel
