Hi am in wheelchai and only have use of 25% of body, stroke 12 yrs ago. Wish i could build have tried with 2 builds and was a didsaster trying to get help. Last build is ok but heavey, to big of case, and the water loop is going to be to much for me to maintain. Motherboard fried almost impossible to get to shop. So ill try again first AVA or Cyberpower, have most variety. 2 build is up so any opinions welcome. Am type Altima is great but love Maxima so got it. Some parts arent neen but i like. But could be wrong, but thing looks and down road. On other hand know im no great with computers so more imput is welcome please give reasons. Live in Greenbrier Ar. Cant find gooc builder for reasonable price near......Screwd any ideas

Well the nice thing about AVADirect is that you you aren't forced to buy any part and opt out of it so if you have parts from your previous builds that you can reuse that will save you a considerable amount of money. As far as the Asus motherboards failing they should of been under warranty and replaced for free but that is strange that so many have failed from a reputable company. MSI does make good motherboards or even Gigabyte is good.

The build looks good, all high quality parts (6700 uses a different socket then those other two CPUs *1151*). If your just gaming though and to balance out the build a little bit I would go with the i5-6600K & GTX 1070 (or even 1080). And the EVOLV Tempered glass cases are beautiful but require quite a bit of cable management to make them look perfect but its still a good choice.

Kind of sucks you live so far awake (Mass here) or I would of been more then happy to help you build it. Also I wouldn't recommend water or even AIO coolers as (1) If its difficult for you to maintain/*heavy* (2) Skylake overclocks pretty good on air. Getting a decent cooler such as the Cryorig H7 is plenty for Skylake and most aftermarket GPU coolers are sufficient if your not running SLI. Personally I would try to find a PC enthusiast locally that would help you out build it before resorting to a company like Cyberpower.

Ok, so yea I would go with the i7-6700K since its a good CPU for the price and I don't think you'll need the extra cores the other two have and the GTX 1060 6gb is plenty for 1080P/60hz games. If you can post a budget and color scheme you want then I can help you pick parts via PCPartpicker, then you'll just need to find a local PC enthusiast that can help you build it. If for some reason you can't find someone and want to get it through a building site such as cyberpower I can help with that as well to make sure they have decent parts in the build (most important being the PSU).
