Hello Everyone,

My name is kanu and i'm new to this website as this is my first post.I want to upgrade my pc and would require some help.

Current Build :-

I7 2600 @3.40GHZ
WD 1TB HDD and Samsung SSD 850 250 GB
MSI GTX 970 OC
16 GB DDR3 RAM

So I'm think of getting new processor,graphic card,mother board and would like some advice on it
The one I chose are below

I7 6500k 4.00GHZ
MSI GTX 1080
ASUS Z170-A ATX DDR4 MOTHERBOARD

Any recommendation would be helpful

If you are not planing on upgrading monitor than 1060 is more than enough for 1080p even if your monitor is 144Hz. GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 are for higher resolutions and monitors that run at 144 fps.

Also if you want to save money go with 6700 non K if you are not planing to overclock, you also save money on motherboard, you can get one with h170 or h110 chipset instead of z170 chipset.

Well it depends what you are plan on doing. Also, do you have a budget? For CPU, I believe you mean i7-6700K with the Z170 motherboard. The GTX 1080 is powerful enough to push out 4K gaming. You are also going to need DDR4 RAM. I recommend G SKill, but I see a lot of builds with Corsair, it's really up to you.

What monitor do you have? GTX 1080 is overkill if you are using 1080p monitor. Also i5 6500K doesn't exist, there is 6500 without K or 6600K, if you want to save money go with non K version and buy a cheaper h110 / b150 / h170 motherboard instead of z170 if you don't use the extra features. If i was in your place i would buy i7 6700 with a h110 motherboard and GTX 1070.

I do a lot of 3D work and plus Gaming too.I do have a 1080p monitor and thus was thinking which would be better 1070 or 1080 and budget is around $1500.

@xstampede - And i was talking about this processor Core I7-6700K 4.00 GHz 8M Processor Cache 4 LGA 1151 BX80662I76700K
