My friend says my pc would explode

1080p gamer nah im noob · Dec 2, 2016

I'm going to build dis pc :

Intel-Core i7 6700K
Gigabyte Ga H170 Gaming 3
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 FE
800w PSU (Modular)
Corsair Dominator Platinum 32 GB (4x8)
Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500 GB
Seagate 3 TB Sata III 64 MB.

He says my motherboard is too cheap and i should get the $500 one.Is that true?? i don't really trust him but still,im scared that my pc would burn/explode

No. The motherboard will not explode, or catch on fire, or melt.

The motherboard is fine. Gigabyte is a reliable brand, you shouldn't have to worry about anything.

Your friend has no idea what he's talking about, but that build can be greatly improved.
Budget? Color Scheme preference?
Intended Use?
OS/Peripherals/monitor needed?

Well, that motherboard would run those parts just fine, BUT if you want to get an i7 6700k, you need to get a Z170 motherboard. There is NO reason to buy a $500 motherboard or even a $300 motherboard. You do not need 32GB RAM. I would get 2x8GB DDR4-3000 RAM. I would also not buy a Founders Edition 1080. Get one with 2 or 3 fans. I would also get a better psu. "800w modular" is enough information for me to know that you could do better for your money.

i7-6700k is cpu for overclocking.
H170 motherboard doesn't support overclocking. For OC you would need Z170 motherboard.

Or stay with H170, and change cpu to i7-6700. It will be a bit cheaper and comes with CPU cooler in package (i7-6700k doesn't have it).

BTW - what PSU are you getting (brand/model name)?

wait a few weeks for new cpu and mb from intel to drop. look for i5 and 270z mb as your base rig. look at the new 960evo m2 ssd. with the new z cpu you need a cpu cooler. look at the h100i units.

I don't even think they make a $500 1151 motherboard. Also you don't gain much by going with an extremely expensive board nor is it worth it. $100 motherboard will perform just as well as a $300 one. Minus the expansion slots, the extra bells and whistles that most people don't even use anyways.
