Looking for review of this build and suggestions on changes.
Primary use will be gaming but no particular games yet as I've been out of the gaming loop due to my current boat anchor. I believe the specs should be adequate for Oculus. I have DVD, keyboard, mouse, monitor(will need to upgrade this soon though), 5.25" floppy(had to add some humor).
PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/spLbXH
CPU: Intel Core i5-6600 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor ($215.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K4 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($141.88 @ OutletPC)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory ($68.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Samsung SM951 256GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($167.96 @ Amazon)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($47.49 @ OutletPC)
Video Card: XFX Radeon R9 390 8GB Double Dissipation Video Card ($308.71 @ Amazon)
Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case ($92.98 @ PCM)
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($87.98 @ Newegg)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit ($83.89 @ OutletPC)
Total: $1215.87
Some of my reasons:
CPU: I5 seems to be the preferred CPU in this range. The 6600 is only $15 more than the $6500 but I'm not stuck on this.
Motherboard: Was looking for M.2 support but not sure it's worth the extra $100 for the M.2 SSD drive and motherboard. Some input here would be nice.
Memory: Wanted 16GB so I don't need to upgrade anytime soon. The 3200 was only like $10 more than 2133.
SSD: Again, looking for M.2 plus it has 512MB cache.
Video Card: I'm actually thinking about spending an extra $100 on the GTX 1070
Case: This case has gone up $30 since I last looked so I will probably change it. Suggestions on basic case would be nice.
Thanks in advance!
