Hey all, 

 

Me and my girlfriend are planning on building 2 identical PCs, but just in different colours, like things such as the case, the cables, the SSD (or the wrap we choose for the SSD), you know, things like that!

 

Heres what we got so far: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6mhHtJ

 

Any opinions you may have on the build also feel free to say! Thanks :)

Im carrying that over from my last PC, I've had it for a while now but I just don't see the reason to upgrade for a while :) @Max_Settings

if your building 2 pcs, id use the 6800k in one and a 1600 or a 7700k in hte other.

 

That psu is way to big, id get a smaller 500w, save some power and money.

we are also looking too upgrade in the future, do you think an 800 would cut it?
