£1500 build help

Darr2cool78 · 30 Sep 2015 at 12:34

Friend asked me to do up a build for £1500.

Could you experts take a look at this and see if it's a good build and if you have any suggested changes please let me know. In addition need a simple cheap case that can house the gfx card if anyone knows of a good one like that. That cooler didn't list 1151 but im guessing skylake is supported or?

Purpose of this rig is for heavy gaming and he wants Intel only.

Cheers

When I realised it was the wrong chipset, had chosen a haswell originally. Thanks for spotting

edit: ah didnt see that bundle, nice saving cheers! will 550w be enough?

Yes 550W is enough for a single card.

As for the cooler Q: - yes socket 1150/56/51 are the same.
