Can somebody tell me which of these 2 builds is better?

GamingEnthusiast420 · Feb 4, 2017

I have built 2 different part lists and I want to know which is better gaming wise.

The second one.

But if you're going to use a B250 motherboard there's no reason to use a K-series CPU.

The second one but don't get a k series if you aren't going to oc and didn't take a z series motherboard. Also whats up with the storage? No ssd and an extremely small hdd.

Isn't a K series processor better? I'm new to pc building so forgive my lack of knowledge... I also chose the B250 because I got compatibility issues with B150/H110/H170 motherboards

The 7000 series works with the 100 series boards but only if the bios has been updated which in most cases hasn't happen yet. The k stand for unlocked and they are only a very small amount faster compared to the closest non k part when not overclocked. Since you can't oc on a b250 board you are spending a premium for a feature that won't be used so I recommend you take the next step down which in this case is the 7500.

So I got a standard i5 7600 instead of the 7600K. Can I overclock with a different 200 series board? ( e.g Z270)

Yes but overclocking isn't that amazing either. Sure you can get a good boost out of it but you first need the more expensive stuff (z270 + k series + decent cooler). If I were you I would just leave it behind.

Also whats up with the storage on the second build? Did you select the wrong hdd?

Whoops lol, thanks for pointing that out. It's supposed to be a 1TB HDD with another 128 GB SSD.

Don't get a 128gb ssd those thing are instantly full even if you try to keep it clear. At least get a 250gb ssd trust me.

I only want to install my OS on it so that it will be faster but I guess I'll do a 256 just in case

Thats what I also did with my ssd. The same with my parents but we both ran out of space on it in 6 months even when actively trying to keep it empty.
