I apoligize in advance, this is my first thread and i am new when it comes to building pcs and yes i know the i7 6700k is overkill but im preparing for the future. I am also planning on overclocking my gpu and possibly the cpu.



I have:

Gpu: Msi GTX 1070 Gaming X
Cpu: i7 6700k


Need:
A motherboard

A Tower

2 TB hdd

120gb ssd

16gb ram

Power supply

Liquid cooling not necessary

Any other parts required for pc to run
I do not need an accessories including monitor,mouse,etc.

I need best bang for buck parts with a budget of $1500.
This budget does already include the purchased gpu and cpu which was $754.56 in total

Would prefer for parts to be in the $1100-$1300 range but $1500 is feasable.

Well I'm partial to mine of course but they're pretty near identical save the differences I listed.

Are you wanting to go with a case with a window to show off the build?
Do you care about color coordinating your system?
Do you want or need an optical drive? This can affect case choice.
Are you doing anything other than gaming?

Well performance wise, my build would have a slight edge from the RAM, but it'd be hard to notice without benchmarks.

The motherboard Isokolon picked out is a slight upgrade from the one I picked out that is a bit friendly for easy overclocking and has an extra PCIe 1x slot on it. So it might make things easier for OCing in the future if you aren't doing all the settings by hand and relying on the built in OCing methods of the board.

The 2Tb drives will perform the same, but the Hitachi has a lower RMA rate.

The PSU, both units are very well built. I've had to cable manage too many computer to ever recommend a non modular PSU unless it absolutely will make or break a budget so I'm biased towards a modular PSU. A 550w will work just fine, but the 650w will give you some head room if you go to a higher end water cooling right down the road.

With your budget you have the luxury of getting to have a nice case if you want to. If you don't need an optical, something like the Nzxt H440 http://pcpartpicker.com/product/KBcMnQ/nzxt-case-cah442cm8 is a really nice looking case, with an optical the Thermaltake we recommended is supposed to be very good. Both have sound insulting foam and allow for larger radiators down the line for water cooling.
