Good day all,
After 7 years, my old PC is slow and suppose it is only matter of time before something in it dies. As a matter of fact, power supply already burned out, so I have new PSU which to be used for the build, XFX XXX 650 W, modular.
I intend to buy all parts within next 30-60 days max, so I will miss out on desktop Kaby Lake and Zen processors. I hope processors presently available will be usable for 4-5 years.
PC will be mainly used for playing several games I am yet to complete, StarCraft II, WoWs, Fallout 4, hope one day Half Life 3. Other than that, I watch movies on it and plan to improve on Dell 2412M monitor with something bigger (30-34") and preferably in 4K resolution.
At Croatian system builders forum, I was suggested as below, FYI it costs roughly 1.200 Euro (or USD as exchange rate almost 1:1):
1 x MS Windows 10 64-bit Cro
1 x Intel CPU Desktop Core i5-6500 (3.2GHz, 6MB,LGA1151) box
1 x MSI B150M Mortar (s1151, USB 3.1, SATA III, LAN, DDR4) mATX
1 x GIGABYTE GTX 1060 G1 GAMING GDDR5 6GB/192bit, HDMI, DVI-D, 3xDP
1 x SSD Samsung 250GB, 850 EVO Basic
1 x HDD Toshiba P300 1TB, 64MB, 7200rpm, High-Performance
1 x Patriot Viper4, 2800Mhz, 16GB (2x8GB), CL16
1 x Fractal Define R5,
Please let me know your suggestions, which parts to be replaced or improved to obtain significantly better performance.
In case one or 2 parts could make really big impact, I am ready to invest 100-200 Euro more.
Should I use stock cooler for the processor, air cooler or water cooling?
