Hey guys, i am building my friend a Pc. This pc will be used for gaming and also for some programs like autocad and java. For now, the cpu will be intel core i7 6700K, 32Gb of ram ( 16x2 ) hyper x fury, Msi gtx 1070 gpu. What do you suggest regarding the Psu and motherboard ? By the way, we can switch to a 6700 cpu so it is not a big deal. Thank you.

AsRock Z170 Extreme4, as it is as good as the ASUS Z170-A and is a lot cheaper.

And for a PSU a good budget option would be the new Corsair CX-650M and if he wants to spend more money, he should get an EVGA 650 G2

I have an Asrock z170 extreme4 too but guessed if something better should

be applied to his system. Thank you for your reply and it seems the mobo and psu will fit well as you suggested.

The Extreme4 is a great option. Not the most aesthetically pleasing (compared to some options from MSI and ASUS) but the best price/features motherboard for Z170!

as for motherboard, something Z chipset that also satisfies your other needs (case formfactor, aesthetics, etc.)

 

as for power supply, corsar RMx or up, evga G2, P2, GS, PS, or pretty much anything seasonic. (although seasonic's lower end units look hideous and arent the most quiet i've heard)

depending on what you're into i'd consider the extreme4 to look better than some stuff asus comes up with :P

As I said, some options from ASUS :P
