So i am building two new pc's for me and the lady. Building them both identical and have most of it figured out. Need some help though with the rest.

Trying to keep the budget under 1500.00 for each.

1. Intel I5 7600k CPU
2. Cryorig H5 Universal CPU Heatsink
3. Crucial MX300 525GB M.2 SSD
4. EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB FTW+ Video Card
5. EVGA Supernova G2 750W Modular Power Supply

So that is all i got. I would like some help picking out a Mobo, Memory and a Case (Nothing to crazy, just something with good airflow). Don't need backup drives as we already have 1TB backup drives.

Any and all help would be appreciated. Also, if something isn't good with what i have picked out so far, please do tell me. I have been out of the PC game for a while so any help is very much appreciated. Oh and buying from Amazon would be my first choice.

Thanks again.

For the case, the Fractal Design Define R5 is my personal go-to. It's spacious, quiet, and is at home practically anywhere. It is a bit larger and heavier than you might expect, though.

For the motherboard, Asus is known for making reliable boards, but they're more expensive than other brands. For the best value, though, check out the best motherboards article here:

The Gigabyte Z170-HD3 is a good all-rounder for a reasonable price, but may need a bios upgrade to support that CPU.

For memory, the G.Skill Ripjaws series is a good value, and in my experience, it's quite reliable. The Corsair Vengence LPX series is another good value. Between the two, get the one that's...

You can use PCPartsPicker.com to play around with various combinations to make sure it fits your budget. You can even specify that you're only interested in Amazon pricing in the options.
