£1500 gaming build ideas

[Draknoth]

Hello, I'm needing help in building a computer, I want the i7 6700k and gtx 1080, other than that I have no idea what to build, I know 16gb ram is ideal though.

I thank you for all help and advice.

Does that budget need to cover the monitor, mouse, keyboard and operating system? Also what size case are you looking for?

 

[Draknoth]

Nope, I don't need any monitors, keyboard, mouse or anything else along those lines, it's strictly for the computer.

He's a starting point. 6700k, 16gb of ram, gtx 1080, 500gb ssd and a 2tb hdd for storage. I left a bit of room in the budget for the OS or if there's a specific more expensive case you have your eyes on. power supply is ok, but you can stump up for a gold one if you want a little more efficiency. Also I just picked the 1080 that I like the look of, still a bit of a question mark over which is the best bang for your buck. (some would argue that none of them are good bang for buck )
