Final Build for Gaming

[Vanisho]

Hey,
I would like to Thank everyone here on ocUK for all the support I've received in that past few days / weeks. You guys are amazing, I will definitely stick for longer!

So I decided to build a new pc for gaming with budget of £600 + I can put up to £100 extra if needed (will buy gpu separately when 1070 is released)

Here is what I decided to buy (possible changes):

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x OcUK Tech Labs - Pre Noise Dampened Case - NZXT Phantom 410 Midi-Tower Case - Black/Orange= £106.99
• 1 x Kingston Fury Black 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C15 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (HX424C15FB2K2/1= £49.99
• 1 x Gigabyte Z170-Gaming K3 - Intel Core i5 6600K Bundle **£10 Saving**= £280.98
• 1 x Corsair RM Series RM 650 '80+ Gold' 650W Modular Power Supply (CP-9020054-UK)= £94.99
• 1 x be quiet! Dark Rock Advanced CPU Cooler= £46.99
• 1 x Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound (3.5g)= £5.99

Total: £597.63
(includes shipping: £11.70)
​

is there anything you guys would change??

Thanks once again

Hi

Fractal Design R5 is a silence orientated case. It has sound damping already installed.

SuperFlower Leadex is a much better psu (If you don't mind the White LED connectors which you can see in one of the listing pics)

Alpenfohn Matterhorn is a very good budget cooler. You don't really need extra thermal paste as the cooler will have some.

Thanks for your feedback

I will stick with my case as it will be something I will see everyday and I really like the look of the Phantom.

SuperFlower looks good

Im not really looking for budget cooler, did that mistake once in the past and it didn't turn out well + from what I've heard be quiet! is top tier these days

This bundle will offer you sli in case you decide to add another 1070.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI - Intel Core i5 6600K Bundle **£20 Saving**= £293.98

Total: £304.48
(includes shipping: £10.50)
​

​

If I don't plan on going SLI at all, is there any other real benefit for this motherboard?

Thanks

Thanks guys for all the help

I've asked ocUK stuff and they said that it should fit

already ordered - now waiting for GPU

 

[Vanisho]

looking good.
Ive looked at the same motherboard bundle you have bought.
If it wasnt for me upgrading to an i5 4690k last year I think I would go for that.
have you decided which GPU youre going for?

GTX 1070

 

[Vanisho]

yea Im thinking the 1070 might be a nice upgrade from my 970 once I start seeing actual benchmarks and hopefully a few comparison videos it will help me decide.

There are already benchmarks for 1070 and 1080
