An i5 6600k and 1070. 1070 SLI will be better but thats if your budget will allow

if he wants sli just get a 1080.

[A7XX]

i think a 1080 is better than 2 1070's

[Wonton]

Yea ok. wat kind of monitors r u planning to get just curious

[A7XX]

am not sure, but at least they gotta be 1080 full hd, maybe 22-23 inch!

[Wonton]

Go with 1080 it'll hv great performance as for cpu just smth that won't bottleneck it (i dunno if i5 skylake will)

[A7XX]

thanks, what about power supply and mb?

[Wonton]

mobo depends on the cpu ur buying but if ur getting a K one id get a Z170 AR (ur budget allows it so yea) and mobo I think a 600 watt will do?

[A7XX]

ok thank you very much

Save it for things you might learn you want later on... headset/speakers/keyboard/mouse/hard drive docking bay/etc... a chair?

You could get a faster SSD, but it won't make much of a difference... or a bigger CPU cooler, but that won't make much of a difference either.  The more you spend on performance at this point, the less you get in actual performance.

 

The next step up is the i7 6800K (X99 socket).  Then you will need a bigger cooler to get a higher clock.
