Build check

[TonySimpson1980]

Hi.

i know there are lots of build me a system threads, but this one is to check i have not done something stupid in my build. looked at other builds and made personal choices on some items.

Build is for general use, but also for iRacing. Single monitor only.
Don't need mouse/keyboard/monitor.
Have a 1Tb NAS drive in house hence no second HD, but also i have only used 170Gb on the one i have! (might use that as a slave drive.....)

Aim is to have a build i can upgrade RAM + grpahics + processor over the coming years. to max out life of motherboard + windows10

Anything in the build below that is total rubbish, and a simple change will make a big difference?


BitFenix Comrade Midi-Tower - Black
MSI Z170A PC Mate Intel Z170 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard
Intel Core i5-6400 2.70GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail
Raijintek Themis Black Heatpipe CPU Cooler PWM - 120mm
Samsung 250GB 750 EVO SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps Solid State Drive
Kingston Fury Black 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 PC4-17000C14 2133MHz Dual
Sapphire Radeon RX 460 Dual X 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Super Flower Golden Green HX 450W "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit DVD - OEM (MS-FQC-08929)
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound (3.5g)
OcUK 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM


Cost comes to £721 for the above.
Happy to spend a little more here or there but not £200 more!

Thanks for any advice you can give!

thanks for the advice. obviously did not research the K CPU properly

i have overclocked in the past, but i am not interested in the last 1% improvement, so makes sense to get a H110 board with a increase in CPU.

Zen sounds interesting as a longer term option, but not sure if i can wait long enough based on my current system.... (AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+, with 4Gb of RAM, and an AMD 5570 graphics)
