I have stupidly built my old PC, ok, it's not old, but I want to build a new one.

My current list is here, it has not been refined and this is the best I can come up with so far.
I am still relatively new to this as well so any constructive criticism is welcomed.

I am looking to build a PC that can be upgraded in the future. My budget is MAX $2500, I have the HDD and SSD so I can't need that.

Currently this is costing me $2200 (not sure why it says $1400, I must be missing some other parts from this list)

Power Supply: EVGA 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($48.99 @ NCIX US)

Fan Controller: Aerocool Touch 2100 Fan Controller ($59.99 @ Directron)
Total: $1422.45

Anything I can improve for cheaper, get a cheaper version or just generally fix?

Altought z170 would probably be even cheaper and better for gaming.

I am one weird person lol :p
also why not get SLI with that money? also you said you didn't need the SSD and HDD?
also no need for a CD drive. do one uses those anymore. USBs are awesome.

the 6700k one.

also remember the 980ti are the placeholders for 2 1080s. each should be around the 650 mark not the 600.

the current Motherboard can support up to 128GB of RAM. I'm hopefully eventually going to expand to 128GB or at least 64GB.

I do want a CD/DVD Drive as I use some CD's sometimes for installing some games and/or software. That can be super cheap as long as it works.
I'm not 100% sure why it only says $1400, I'm out now with only my laptop, when I get to my desktop I will post my actual list that is $2200, I can't really go more than that.

Unless you push the gpu hard, this build will run almost silent to the point where the power led will be the only indication it's actually running. And it'll keep up and surpass the 5820k in many things. Unless you have an absolute need for 64-128Gb of ram, anything more than 16Gb is a waste. And don't even consider the idea of skimping with a $49 p.o.s. Corsair psu , the psu is the most important component in any pc.
