Help!!

[jasondavies1999]

I am wanting to build a PC this year for gaming and some other tasks such as editing and rendering. I have been putting some parts together and my budget is around £1700. I have put these parts together https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/f24F3F

 

I was just wondering if anyone has any advice.

Thanks

To answer your question, Get a Z170 board if you want to OC, and you don't need the extra fans. Other than that it looks good.

Wouldnt it be a better idea to have a 7700k in a z270 board? I know the performance is only marginally better than skylake, just wondering why you chose skylake

Why are you using the SP120 performance edition? If you want quiet Static pressure fans for the radiotor you should go for the quiet edition ones

Z board for overclock, otherwise get 6700

7200 rpm hdd is suggested

Founders Edition are usually pretty noisy and bad cooling solutions, i'd wait until manufacturers brings us their 1080ti version...

Im not sure about this but i have heard that TP-Link wifi adapters kinda sucks

 

better thermal compound, Z board, cheaper ram with same performance and lower CAS, faster HDD with same storage

What motherboard do you think would perform best for this budget as I have changed my i7 to a 7700k.

If youre overclocking get a decent z270 board from asus, msi gigabyte etc.

You'd have to get DDR4 ram, but everything else should be fine.

No problem, just add all the parts in PCpartpicker and it should check for small incompatibilities i might have overlooked

Do you think this motherboard would be a good one to use?

Asus generally has amazing motherboards, i have one lying around thats been in use almost daily by my father since around 2004. I personally only use Asus products, and this board should be no exception. I would definitely recommend it.
