Hello, I have been working on putting together a i5 6600k computer since my old one died.
I have come to the conclusion that I value the CPU higher than the GPU and hopefully this reflects in the build. This will be my first build so there could be some real rookie misstakes in there.
I am mostly afraid of any parts not fitting together, forgetting to order some cable, paying more for an old version or something like that.
I want a stable, semi-powerful, affordable computer.
Country: Sweden
Budget: Not much higher than the current list (1372 USD)
Usage: Older games (Skyrim, Dota 2 etc), Processor intensive games (Europa Universalis 4) and the occasional AAA game (Fallout 4). There is no need to future proof AAA games on ultra for many years.
Thankful for any/all questions, comments or suggestions!
