Hi guys I have been working on a build for a gaming PC and this is what I have come up with for my build at the moment I'm wondering if there any changes I should make/something I'm missing.

YOUR BASKET
1 x MSI GeForce GTX 980Ti Gaming 6144MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (GTX 980 Ti Gaming 6G) £559.99
1 x Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail £319.99
1 x Asus Z170-Deluxe Intel Z170 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard £224.99
1 x Crucial BX100 500GB SSD SATA 6Gbps 7mm Solid State Drive (CT500BX100SSD1) £121.99
1 x Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C15 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15) £113.99
1 x NZXT H630 Silent Ultra Enthusiast Tower Case - Matte Black £95.99
1 x EVGA SuperNova G2 750W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply £94.99
1 x Noctua NH-D15 Dual Radiator Quiet CPU Cooler with two NH-A15 Fans £77.99
1 x Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s SSHD - (WD10J31X) £68.99
Total : £1,696.61 (includes shipping : £14.75 Ex.VAT).



I'm aiming to run dual monitors with a 2560x1440 144hz monitor as my main with a 60hz monitor for secondary stuff, also intending on running the HDMI to my tv. I have my monitors picked out so I'm ok on that end.

I'm also in the market for a mechanical keyboard (not included in the pc budget) I wanted to get the Corsair k70 RGB with Blues but they are not longer available, I was going to just go for the k95 but I really don't have any need for the macro keys. How are browns in comparison to blues?

I'll be doing a bit of coding and stuff as well on the computer probably nothing too taxing.

Any and all advice is very much appreciated.

P.S. This is my first post on these boards if I have made any faux pas' please let me know.

Thanks again

Oh wow, just looked up those benchmarks, that seems much more like what I am looking for thank you very much
 
my last couple of gigabyte boards have just been a bit clunky, I got the Asus X99-S and the bios is just so much better laid out and things actually work when you change options
 
Don't bother getting a hybrid hard drive as you already have an SSD in your spec. Just go with a regular 1TB WD Blue.

For a single graphics card then you can go with the 650W EVGA G2/GS. For SLI you probably want 850W+

Also check out the Fractal R4 and R5 if you are looking for a quiet case.

Yeah, I think I accidentally but the hybrid drive in there it was supposed to be the one you mentioned.

I'll definitely look into the lower wattage PSU and those case choices.

Thank you very much for the advice.
