$1500 Skylake 1080p gaming pc build?

batpinkyman · Aug 10, 2015

Is it possible to fit a Skylake 1080p gaming pc build into $1500 or is Skylake more in the ~$2000 range?

Thanks

I would think you could realistically do it for under $1500. It should not cost too too much to max out games at 1080P.

Any specific questions you have?

You don't necessarily need a build of this level but this shows what you can do for $1600. However you could get a quality 1080P gaming experience for hundreds less.

Actually, now that I look at this link I realized it is a bit dated but still you can get a great build in for under $1500

Dude! Im amazed as how you managed to fit so much into just a mere $1000! Well, Im not interested in a better gpu as the gtx 970 is enough for and as Ive heard the better ones are not worth their price... However Im sure I could fit in the i7 6700k, 16gb ddr4 ram, a bit of more storage, etc. With my $1500 budget. Anyways thanks a lot. I think i could make the changes to this build but wow. Sorry for long answer

Yes nice, but it would be even better if the motherboard price was actually included in the build for the real cost which is more like around $1200.

wish i could but some of the parts are still to new for parts picker and the web. there no prices listed for it online yet. dont forget guys it only been a few days for skylake and mb that have come out it wont be a month or two for the full line for both to start hitting the web.
