New build

[lolgame123]

Hello there!

I've been planing to build a PC for a long time but I would like to ask for your opinion what exactly components I should use.

I mainly want to play games like The Witcher 3, Star Wars:The Old Republic but also watch movies. And also I want to make sure that I will be able to play Mass Effect: Andromeda.

I'm sure that I'll use gtx 1060 and i5 (though I don't know which one exactly) and I would also like for my pc to be able to connect to wifi.

Please help me because I don't know what other parts I should use. My limit is around 800$ but I could probably go a little above it.

need os/monitor/peripherals?

I would get socket 1151 motherboard  "any" I5!  and spend your dough on the best GPU you can afford NOW to get best performance. It is so easy to upgrade CPU later and sell the old one. RAM, CPU coolers, SSD, can come later. However for PURE performance start with the GPU and build backwards with a CPU upgrade path.

you can just as easily upgarde a gpu

 

without those the pc wont run

 

that's just going to unnecessarily bottleneck the system

Explain, because tell me a 6 series/ 1151 i5 chip that will bottlenet a GPU? 10...+ series GPU

[Kickflapper]

also explain where the "bottleneck: occurs?

[Kickflapper]

you are missing my point, sir. While perhaps "bottle necked" to a somewhat small degree. One could easily use their budget to buy the best GPU and have a easy CPU upgrade path. Also the term "bottleneck" appears a lot in stress tests and artificial GPU benchmarks. In reality most people will find a better experience with better GPU

I plan on buying windows 10 and I have all peripherals except monitor (I'm looking for around 24'' full hd monitor)
