Best middle ranged PC

[TheLegend 27]

Hi everyone! I am building my friend a gaming PC. I have recently completed my personal build thanks to you and now i seek help once more. He wants a rx 480 8gb strix, and wants an i5 6600k/7600k build. I told him an i5 non k cpu bundled up with an b150/250 mobo would be a better value. Thanks!

Around 1200-1300€. For people across the ocean the prices are: strix 480: 325€,

i5 7600k: 295€, msi z270 tomahawk: ~160€, 16gb ddr4 2666mhz: 160€.

the 6600k is not a bad value if you can afford it. the problem is most cant afford a z170 motherboard and a 6600k into there budget so instead they get a h110 motherboard paired with a 6500.

also you need to factor in the cost of a good aftermarcket cooler too because the 6600k and the 7600k don't come with one.
