Hello everyone!
So I'm thinking of building a gaming skylake pc and I'm not sure what parts I should get. My budget is $700 but I can scoop some more if necessary til $800. (preferably around $700). For the build I would want a i5 or i7 (if possible) and 16gb of ram, I'll be doing some rendering aswell. I also do not plan on overclocking. (I have an OS already, monitor and mouse/keyboard, I will not use wifi or use any speakers.) I just want the PC parts to make it run :). Also I'd like a Nvidia GPU.

Thanks. :)

Sorry for the late reply. No I do not need any of those cause I already have them :).
 
I know this is at the top of your range, but you really get a lot for the extra $100. If you need it less expensive, let me know.

Hey bearman, thanks for the reply!
I'm more of a nvidia person when it comes to gpu's, Think you could make one with a nvidia gpu?
Thanks
 
The GTX 970 isn't quite as capable as the R9 390, but it runs much cooler and this MSI one with the twin Frozr fans is super nice.
