Hey, so Im about to build my 1st pc.
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/7Q2DxY
Here is what I am planning to buy, but Im still not sure yet, and I would really appreciate the help from u guys.

The cpu;
Here is the deal, i need a very solid since im going to play games that are very cpu intense (gtaV, cs go etc) Im currently decidig between the i5 65/600 or the 6600k , and I really dont know which one to buy, since the 6500 is 60$ cheaper than the 6600k and 30$ from the 6600, and Im not sure if 60$ is worth it (these priceses are in my country)


The mobo;
Now im not sure if I should buy a z170 chip for the future, just in case(i only have GB and asus models in my country) or to buy a cheaper asus/gb mobo

Any other recommendz will be appreciated.

it looks good.

a few tweaks:
- the fans you selected run 35dba loud and move more air than you need. a Noctua NF-S12A FLX 120mm / Noctua NF-S12B redux-1200 moves more than enough air by being not nearly half as noisey.
a bit cheaper but of good recommendable quality are the 120mm Cougar CFD D12HB fans
- the 6500 is considered the best bang on the buck, the 6600 the best gamer CPU right now. The K is only worth it when overclocking, but you need a Z170 board for that, which adds another 30$+. So if you can afford it, sure, go for it. if you can't, then it's no dilemma.
- the case is nice, if you wish it was a bit less....strikening, I'd go with the Define R5 or the F31 suppressor. but it's a very nice case.
- for 144Hz you might wanna consider upgrading the GPU to a 1070 (doesn't have to be the overpriced Strix) bcs I see that card struggeling in GTA5 with 144Hz unless you're fine not maxing out all settings (in CSGO it should be fine)

Ye I know the noctua are far superior but I only have CM,deepcool and corsair fans (is the af better than the sp?) also I know the r5 is lovely its one of my fave cases out there but in my country is very very overpriced... I am currently considering between the gigabyte z170x ultra gaming or the asus hero viii , Im not sure which one is better , but the gigabyte one is 50$ cheaper. Im not really sure if i should pay 140$ for a b150 chipset when i can get the gb one for 30$ more. I will mostly play cs go, so I dont really need the 1070 since its waaay more than it should be.
If I oc the 6600k to say 4.5Ghz will there be a big difference towards the non K versions? Also if I buy the 6600k which cooler would u reccomend me? I have only CM coolers. Thanks for ur response !!

for CSGO teh 1060 will be fine, but in GTA V I'm not so sure. it will struggle with 144Hz, but if you don't need 144Hz Maxsettings, it could be fine.

I recently saw a comparison of the stock 6600 vs 6600k @4.5 GHz (Testing it's in German, but at 4,5 GHz they got an advantage of roughly 2%
however if you go higher it could be worth it.

I personally like the Scythe Mugen, if there's only CM & Corsair I'm a bit out of my depth here. The CM 212 Evo seems to be a favorite amongst many for CPU cooling

Yes but I also read that with the hyper evo can do minimal oc , saying that it will barely do 4.5, any good liquid coolers out there? CM that is, or the corsair h55 since thats the only 1 they've got. Also will the 6600k OC'ed have an advantage over the 6500 in csgo? Csgo uses all its cores for gaming and if im right it should have 50fps more?
I wont game gta that much tho, csgo is my main thing, been playin it for over 4 years now on 40fps and anything more would be huge for me! :) Also is the zalman z11 hf1 plus a good case? Ty again for ur response m8 !!^_^

a buddy of mine has an ivy bridge i3 and on competitive 128 Tick servers he has 150+ fps
so the difference is negligible

case is alright, gotta be careful though because GPU is supported up to 490mm --- the ASUS Strix wouldn't fit the case for example (492mm length)

Oh.. The zalman has been my fave case since forever, and they finally have it in my country.About csgo i know that but I think i should spend the 50$ on the 6600k now rather than another 200+$ in 3-4years.Last question, should I get gb z170x ultra gaming or the asus hero(or ranger)

290mm* in the Zalman case, the Strix got 298mm*
where am I with my thoughts...

couldn't find quick specs on the V2, but the ordinary deepcool dukase looks like a good case.

you could just get a 1060 that fits.
the strix is a bit bigger than most cards
for example the MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming 6G will fit easily, as will the Gainward
as for cases, I like the F31 Suppressor by Thermaltake if it's available where you are. offers plenty of space.
