Hello!
I want to build a pc but I have some issues with the motherboard.
My preferred cpu is i5 6500 but I might go with 6600 (non k)
I do not plan on overlocking as 6600k is expensive in my country , but I want to buy a z170 (for faster ram)
is it worth the extra money to buy z170 and get faster ram?
And can I BCLK overclock an i5 6500/6600 ? Some motherboards say they have something that allows BCLK overclocking , such as gigabyte turbo-b clock ("enables overclockers the ability to change their BCLK frequency to a desired value....")
I am torn apart between Gigabyte GA-Z170-D3H (which has a good price imo)
and Asus Z170 pro gaming (which is a bit more expensive)
and MSI Z170 gaming M3 (not sure if I can find it so it's not one of my main considerations)
And I was also wondering if asus applications / "upgraded lan port" / etc are worth the extra money
I also saw another dofference between the boards , the asus one has 10-phase power but gigabyte has 8 . I read that more is better but I dont know if 2 less is a deal breaker?
And is CM V650 a good PSU? I plan to use rx480/gtx 1060 and BCLK oc (if possible) ? Will I also be able to crossfire rx480 in the future? and if I do choose 6600k , will I be able to oc and have rx480 (and maybe croosfire it?)?
thanks!
update
I noticed both the Asus and Gigabyte motherboards had bad reviews on newegg . Do they really have all the issues that are mentioned?
If they are not good I can buy the Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 3 or the Asus Z170A (the white one)
I'd rather buy the cheaper one but quality matters more so , if I have to , I'd spend more .
If any board allows me to BCLK oc then that could be an advantage?
thanks in advance
