Hello guys, I just wanted to make a thread to introduce myself. I'm new here and hopfully I'll make myself learn more about building gaming rigs. Atleast; that's what I'm shooting for, my very 1st build is gonna be a Skylake, intel i7-6700k, MSI Z170A GAMING M5 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard...

whats your budget nice to see a new toms member to this site how much research have you done

Jeffrey_25 · Jul 3, 2016

Oh man, I've done a lot of research, I even found this guy on youtube named
CareyHolzman he seems like a good teacher. My budget is like 1200 bucks so I made a parts list here https://pcpartpicker.com/user/digihax/saved/#view=wTfJ7P Man, I can't wait to build it man lol...

Your pc is very nice, but if its supposed to be for gaming thats not how you go about it. Also a 250Gb SSD will not be enough, you will definitely need an HDD.

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/dJ8tJV this is $100 cheaper

Thank you man, the only reason I chose the EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2GB SuperSC ACX 2.0+ Video Card is bc of the cost, I like your suggestions though.
And thnx for the HDD man i didn't know I need it...
Edit: See the reason I chose the gpu is bc world of warcraft Legion only recommends the 750ti so i figured the 960 would work even better...or so i thought?

A 1070 would allow you to play much MUCH more demanding games, also if you want to build a rig just for games like World of Warcraft, you could probably spend less than $600-700.

Trafalgar747 :

Yeah that's a good idea, I was planning on getting a 1060 but I might instead go with the 1070, but let me ask you about the i5-6500 though. How come you would switch out the i7-6700k with the i5-6500 but you kept the same motherboard? Maybe bc of the price idk lol. The suggestion of the HDD was nice I had no idea I needed that lol...
