So contary to my earlier posts i have decided to build a new PC over the next month or so.. I build a i5 6400 - gtx 1060 - 8gb DDR4 - NZXT S 340 Razer ed. build for my friend yesterday and needless to say i caught the bug again..
I sold my old i7 2600 - r9 290 build a few days ago to reshuffle funds after dropping £1,500 on a laptop for work/university etc but obviously a laptop can't compare to a desktop..
I have been comparing parts and wanting to build a computer that has upgradability options in terms of GPU (SLI, 1080ti) in the future. And i am aware by the time of purchase kaby-lake will most likely be mainstream.
Would this build hit the point? I heavily use Unity, After effects, Premiere, Photoshop, Play games and do various java coding and hyperthreading plus plenty of ram is essential. Thanks for any tips.
PS. i fell in love with this case and it's pretty much on my bucket list.

Total: £2,095.68
