Hi guys sorry for being lazy for not searching around that being said is this budget build ( http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JPfPRB ) good enough for gaming? Lets say last gen games ( FO4, DARK SOULS , DRAGONS AGE, GTA 5, FAR CRY, BF, ETC ETC) any recommendations? Atm i cant afford an i5 and i prefer lga 1151 so i can upgrade later. Also what are the benefits of having am SSD? should i get a 8gb For windows files? And can i overclock non-k processors? I know i need a z170 motherboard so any recommendations for that same price? Thanks in advance

You can overclock non K skylake CPUs via BLCK, just like in the old days, dont bother with a SSD, i'd pt that money instead on a better GPU. Asrock motherboards already support overclocking on non-k CPUs, so i'd go that way:

You wont be able to OC that processor. You should be able to run those games - also - you're forgetting a PSU and a case (I take you've got this covered). Don't expect to be able to max them out though.

Hi thanks for your reply, is there any other brand instead of Asrock? I have had bad experiences with Asrock and Biostar mobos so i prefer not going for an Asrock



Why would you say that? Also i went for intel cause that mobo only support intel processors

Hi, thanks for sharing your build it's really cool but i'm planning on updating un the future so i prefer lga1151 compatible mobos also i was gonna go for that card but its power consumption is extremely exaggerated, but thanks anyways i appreciate it
