Well have you considered getting at least a 1tb hdd as today's modern games tend to be quite large in it's size, but first things first can you tell us the budget of yours and is there any other purposes besides gaming for your new PC, also do you have a monitor and an operating system.

I think he would have included them in his list if he would need them...

Sapphire Thunder :

Well sometimes they don't or forget to add them by mistake, better safe than sorry

zallim :

yea I have a monitor and and operating system. 500gb would do for now, and I could add more if I come around to need it right? Well other purposes then are going to be video editing, and im going to start practicing makeing games myself and also streaming.

zallim · Oct 9, 2015

Alright then, for video editing, streaming and designing or developing games the i5 is very good but the i7 is even better, also you are choosing an "H" motherboard along with a K cpu so you won't be able to do some overclocking if you ever decided to go into that as you need a "Z" motherboard for that purpose, anyway getting an i7 will increase the total cost of your PC along with a "Z" motherboard so that depends on your total budget, so how much you are willing to pay for the PC ? and you are currently in EU right ?

zallim :

Yes im in the EU, well my budget is 1000€ and already the price sits at 1150€. Im just wondering if this is all I need? Is overclocking something I would really need to do? Should I get a Z model instead? I also switched to a 1TB HDD "1000GB WD Blue WD10EZEX 64MB 3.5" (8.9cm) SATA 6Gb/s" --> http://
Im also wondering will everything fit into my case from what I understand they will. The reson I picked that motherboard is because it supports DDR4, but should i get a Z model to get the most out of everything?
I found a motherboard Z would this be a better choise for me "Gigabyte GA-Z170-HD3P Intel Z170 So.1151 Dual Channel DDR4 ATX" --> http://

For this budget I would stick with your build in general, I have made a few changes so it can be affordable as much as possible and remain efficient

This is just a general demonstration for reference purposes, anyway I was able to find the psu only at amazon maybe you would be able to find at another store and I would recommend Evga over Corsair when it comes to PSU, so you are already on the right track within this budget, stay with a non K i5, a Z motherboard won't be necessary, 1 tb is perfect, and all this stuff will fit in inside your case nicely, 8gb ram is quite sufficient and 16gb is more than enough but in any case more RAM never harms as long as your system can support it, gtx 970 is an excellent choice and I suggest the Evga SSC for you, and that's about it you are ready to go mate, hope this helps and good luck mate

why not the gigabyte gtx970 and dose the fact that cpu isnt K version cut down performance. the parts you suggested is what I rather should get? and will this perform well with the tasks i mentioned. Anyway thank you very much this will help me a load and you are awesome helping me out! Would you say im done if i make these changes to my shopping cart? would I be ready to order?
when it comes to the motherboard is there any bigger differace than size? microATX over ATX

zallim · Oct 9, 2015

For choosing the Evga over Gigabyte is because of it's performance as of now nothing is better than Evga gtx 970 SSC and in the future always check the SSC versions as they tend to have higher clock than most cards for about the same price or maybe even lower for a top notch quality and an excellent customer support, as for the non K versions they never mean to be a downgraded versions, the idea of K cpu is that having more overclocking potential than non K cpu's because it's designed to be overclocked but that's about it, and by the way you can still overclock non K cpu on this Asrock B150 Pro4 for example but it won't worth it because you will have to get a cpu cooler and it will not have the same results as overclocking a K cpu over Z motherboard and to be honest K or no K, Z or no Z you are way better off without overclocking, just get the components you preferred the most in this discussion and go to the online store and claim that awesome PC of yours
