Hi guys , I want to set up one gaming computer.
I need your help for the name of the items required and prices.

I already buyed the CPU i7 6700K 4.0Ghz ( turbo boost 4.2Ghz) 8Mb cache etc..
Now I need the name and the price too for :
Motherboard
Ram
cooler
I'm thinking to buy the GTX 970 ( 200 $ )
I dont know if I forget something , If I do let me know it , and prices if possible , thanks
 
Solution
1. What is your budget?
2. What will you use the PC for?
3. Which version of the GTX 970 are you thinking of buying?
4. Do you already own a case, power supply unit, and other parts you didn't mention? If so, what are their manufacturer names and part numbers?

It's easy enough to suggest a list of good parts that will work together, but without more information, it's much harder to guess whether it will be what you need, or affordable for you.

Here are some ideas to start with, though. I made this list assuming that you'd like to game at 1080p, need everything except a processor, and that you have some money to spend, but not a fortune. It can be adjusted higher or lower as needed.

(I just picked a cheap GTX 970 and set it at...

(I just picked a cheap GTX 970 and set it at $200; you can substitute whichever one you're actually considering. Or, you may want to consider the new Radeon RX 480 instead.)

Hi dude! And thank you for answering!
I will answer your question
1) 800-900$
2) It's for gaming
3) I really dont know witch one... but for sure , I will take one of 4GB
4) No I do not. it's my first time seting up one desktop. I always buyed Gaming Laptops.

No , I not thinking about the Radeon graphical cards... I already tested some and I had very bad experions with the R9 290 ( laptop )

We can take off Optical Drive and Windows ( -100$ )
For the moment I'm not thinking about the Over clicking but , what is the diference between Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 3 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard and the GA-Z170 Gaming 7 ?

No problem!

The Gaming 7 is a higher-end version of the Gaming 3. The Gaming 7 also has a couple of extra AHCI-only SATA ports, more power phases, thermal armor, nicer heat sinks, support for higher overclocked memory frequencies (up to DDR4 3866 rather than DDR4 3466,) more USB 3 rear ports, a different (and presumably better) sound system, buttons for a couple of preset tuning profiles, and a few other bells and whistles. Their video ports are different, but that only matters if you're using integrated graphics, which you're not. Both boards have red LED lights.

There's also the Z170X-Gaming 5, which falls between those two feature-wise.

Overclocking is not something I have personal experience with, so if you plan to do that, then you'll want to seek advice from others here. But this build should accommodate it.

All right, see how this grabs you:

I don't think any of the GTX 970s have actually reached $200 yet, but I've seen that predicted too. You might want to wait and see what happens to 970 prices after the GTX 1060 and the RX 480 partner cards are released.

I'm up past my bedtime and must turn in, but I'll be around tomorrow and we can make further adjustments as needed.


ETA: I lied. Here's a more souped-up version of the same build you can check out.

Oh ! I see . I was watching some videos about who they're seting up PC and I saw that the Motherboard Gaming 7 have like 3 or more ports for fans . And another big mother board like Gaming G1 ( one of the best ) have 5 ports for fans... For what do we need funs? One for CPU ( cooler ) and the other one for the Graphical cards , but the other 3? for what?

And what about the Case? Do you think the desing of the Case It has dimensions compatible to all motherboards?

One question about the SSD and the HHD. I know that the SSD is a lot faster than any HHD but , when I want to install the windows , where should I install it? In the SSD or the HHD?

Another important point for me , maybe people do not consider it so imortant for the mother board , but I think have something to be there. The PING in the game online. I know , that dipend of your ISP , conexion and protocols TCP/IPv4/6
, but with my 2 comuter laptop that I had , they have the same configuration , using the same windows , same router , the same programe reduction of lag ( Nimaking) and ( WTFast ) , one f them got 44ms , the other one got 60ms

Anyway dude , thank you very much for your help , I will start buying all this items one time I go back to home , it will be 12/07/2016

I will coment every time I buy something and And I hope to work with me to set it up

Watching videos and reading tutorials before you begin is an excellent idea. Newegg's videos are very helpful, if you haven't seen them.

You need case (or 'system') fans to draw fresh air into the case and then push out the hot air that the CPU, video card and PSU fans are pulling away from the components. Your graphics card and PSU have cooling fans built right in; those fans don't need a separate connector on the motherboard. All your other fans do. There's one connector designated specifically for the CPU cooler, and then depending on your setup, your case could have anywhere from one or two, to six or more fans mounted in it.

Two case fans is the minimum I'd suggest to prevent the system from overheating; the Enthoo Pro M comes with one exhaust fan installed at the back, and you would want to put at least one intake fan at the bottom front of the case (that's why I added the one fan to the build, but you can add more if you wish.) There's room in this case for several more in the front (intake) and on top (exhaust) if they're needed. Both the Gaming 3 and the Gaming 7 have connectors for 3 system fans. There's also an extra connector meant for a water cooler that you can use to power a regular case fan in a pinch - I do this with the big fan at the top of my Antec 900. You could connect more fans by getting a splitter extension, if you find it necessary.

The Phanteks Enthoo Pro M is an ATX mid-tower case and should accept any standard ATX motherboard. The Gaming 7 is a full-size 12 x 9.6" ATX motherboard.

The Gaming 3 is slightly narrower than most, and as a result, won't reach one row of standard ATX standoffs. (As an aside: please be very sure you screw your motherboard into the standoffs, not directly to the inside of the case!) Some folks find this disconcerting. I have the Z97X Gaming 3 (Haswell version of the same thing, basically), which is also unusually narrow, and I found it didn't cause me any real problems; it just meant I had to be a little bit more careful to support the edge of the board when I was plugging in cables near that edge.

You would want to put Windows and your games and programs on the SSD to speed up your startup, load and save times, and use the regular hard drive for storing anything you don't access constantly, like pictures and videos.

(By the way, if you don't expect to need that storage space but do want to be able to install a large number of games, mods, etc. you do have the option of leaving out the hard drive entirely and just putting in a larger SSD. The Samsung 850 EVO 500GB would cost just a little bit more than the other two drives together, and would double your space for games and programs, though it would leave you with less than half as much total storage space on the system. http://pcpartpicker.com/product/FrH48d/samsung-internal-hard-drive-mz75e500bam )

All sorts of subtle factors can cause two different computers or components to perform differently, even if they appear to be identical. Ping time is not something I've looked into personally, so again, you may want to ask advice about that from others here. I'd be fairly surprised if enthusiast gaming boards like these didn't at least get acceptable speeds, and a quick search of various reviews and ratings doesn't turn up any complaints about it that I can find; but if it's very important to you, then it's certainly worth asking around about a little more before you purchase anything.

I'm happy to help...let me know how it goes. Just do me a favor and verify that $800-$900 is your budget, not including the price of the processor you've already bought? I realized last night I hadn't asked for a clarification on that, so you'll notice the price of the 6700K is not included in any of these builds, and we'll need to change things accordingly if that was a mistake.
