I need help choosing the right parts for my pc build.
The build will mainly be for gaming (Dying Light, GTA V, Mafia III, etc) and for video editing at 1080p.
I plant to play on max settings mostly and still keep the 60+ fps If possible.
I have chosen all the components including the graphics card which is a nVidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Armor, because it's the only one I can afford.
I am having problems choosing my CPU and Motherboard so far because of prices and OC stability.
Should I get the i5 6600K or an i7 6700K and a Z170 motherboard, like Asus Z170-A?
Or should I go for an i5 7600K or i7 7700K and a Z270 motherboard, which I'm still not sure which?
I personally prefer Asus motherboards but I guess may end a MSI would either be fine, I just want all the components to be fully compatible and to have a good performance while still being able to overclock.
UPDATE:
Approximate Purchase Date: probably in the next few days
Budget Range: 1000-1100€
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Videos Editing, Programming, Surfing the internet
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: No
Please note that if you're using an OEM license of Windows, you will need a new one when buying a new motherboard.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: globaldata.pt, chiptec.pt, alientech.pt
Country - Portugal, and I will be assembling the everything
Parts Preferences: Intel, NVIDIA and Asus
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: I plan to play Dying Light, GTA V, Watch Dogs 2, Mafia III...
I have been doing some research a came across the following build, but I am still not sure about the processor and motherboard like I said before:
ATX NZXT S340 White - 69,90 €
NOCTUA NF-P14S REDUX 1200RPM 140MM - 14,90 € (2)
MSI GEFORCE® GTX 1060 ARMOR OCV1 6GB GD5 - 299,90 €
SEASONIC S12II 620W 80+ BRONZE - 74,89 €
SSD SAMSUNG 850 EVO 250GB SATA III - 94,90 €
INTEL CORE I7 7700K (4.2GHZ) SOCKET 1151 - 351,41 €
MOTHERBOARD ASUS PRIME Z270-A - 177,90 €
CRYORIG H7 - 39,90 €
Total: 1138,59 €
So, keeping in mind that besides gaming I will also need to do some video editing, what do you think is my best option? Should I save some money and buy a 6600K/6700K and a Z170 chipset motherboard or go for the 7600K/7700K and a Z270 chipset motherboard?
