Suggestions to lower price on new computer.

Hello!

I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions about changing my computers specs. I plan on purchasing. Don't know if I should invest in a i5-6600k instead, etc. Any advice you guys might have would be great if I can lower the price.

Yes, this is also a pre-built computer as I'm not able to do one myself for reasons. Thanks again.

Well it depends what you plan on doing with it. 850 watts is a bit too much. Something like 550 to 650 should be enough. Do you really need a liquid cooler? I understand it keeps temps down lower than a standard cooler, but I have a 6600K with a Hyper 212 EVO, and it stays below 55 C when rendering 1080p videos. Also, I am sure Gigabyte's Z170 are a bit cheaper (maybe 10-15).

Stay with the i7 if you can. It will have a better performance than the i5 (obvioiusly) plus you can do so much at the same time without freezing or performance issues.
