So finally decided upon this:
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £587.50
(includes shipping: £11.70)
I read a lot of problems regarding Win7 USB installs and the 100 chipset, but there seems to be a workaround offered by Gigabyte and I have slip-streamed the USB drivers in to my Win7 USB and it appeared to work.
Does anyone have any info or expierence on this? I don not want to go to 8 or 10 so using 7 x64 is a must and am aslightly concerned in case I have to go out and buy a SATA DVD just to get Win 7 installed.
I know what I am doing and have built PC's as far back as P2 & Socket A but there does seem to be a lot of moaning online regarding the Win7 issue with 100 chipsets, are these just noobs? am I worrying about it too much.
£600 is a lot to spend then find I cannot install it without either getting a SATA DVD or purchasing win8 / win10.
I plan on ordering this week when I get paid if everything is still in stock.
Any advice greatly received, and any possible changes to my spec would be considered.
It's just a basic machine for HD/SD HVR, TV, media (music & video playback) and some light video editing & a fair bit of encoding and of course web browsing.
I have a GTX650 I can throw in which will beat the on-board HD530 on the Skylake, but may just opt to use the integrated as it should be more than sufficient for my needs.
