Thoughts on Craigslist Build?

[Guest]

I found a 5820k + ITX motherboard combo (just what I was looking for) for $400, so I made a system based off those parts. Any input would be great

EDITEROO: I forgot to change the Ram, just ignore it.

$350 difference not bad

tbh, I'd get an ATX X99 board, because you can actually take advantage of many of X99's features, such as 8 RAM slots, a crazy amount of SATA ports, and a load of PCIe slots

The motherboard was bundled in the deal, so I have to keep both of them. I emailed the guy and he said he's not selling them separately.

ah

tbh, the 5820k isn't the best value anymore, as the R5 1600 can be found for 200 dollars now, and motherboards around 150. Plus, you get an actual warranty with the new parts.

but with those the CPU and motherboard doesn't include a graphics card, so you would be spending more than 400

op will more than likely have a dedicated gpu regardless if its necessary or not.

I would switch your case to an inwin 301, that phanteks case is apparently shite for air cooling

 

Also, a 1700 cost a mere $370 and an inwin 301 is the same size as the phanteks case you are looking at but it accepts mATX

it shows a 980 with it, unless that shows what he is having to buy

Honestly, I don't think $400 for a 5820k and ITX motherboard is a very great deal. You could easily get a Ryzen 7 1700 and a good full ATX motherboard for the same amount of money. This way you're getting an 8 core/16 thread CPU, it's brand new, warranty included, and a full ATX motherboard with all the features.
