Hello there! I have built a from parts that I received for Christmas. The parts are as follows:

 

I3-6100@3.7GHz

MSI Z170 SLI Plus

EVGA 500W

2* Seagate 2TB HDD in Raid 0

Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3

Cooler Master Masterbox 5

I have already ordered a Samsung 960 Evo 250 GB to use as my main drive, but for now I am stuck with my Raid HDDs.

I hope to get a GTX 1050ti 4 GB or a GTX 1060 3/6GB from EVGA to use, until then I use the Intel HD 530.

 

I know the cooler is overkill for an i3, but I plan to eventually get an i7-6700k.

Under load I get about 40*C maximum temps with the fans at 500-900RPM.

It's very quiet

Not the best choice for a cpu, I would've gone i5 6400. But its a solid build.

The geek himself.

If I had the money I would have just gone for a 6600k.

The i3 was 110 USD, which was in my budget at the time. I figured it would be an okay start since it has four threads. It is fine for running Garry's Mod and Portal.
