This would be my choice, a little over budget but I'm sure you could sell the old monitor for a few quid?! Or you could drop to the non modular version of the power supply, or drop to a 250gb SSD.

Hello again,
I got my insurance cheque and am just waiting for it to clear. I've sold my monitor, ready for the new one and my budget has now gone up to £1750. Is there anything that can be added or bettered with the extra cash. Also a cooler needs adding.
Thanks
 
I would think that a GTX 1060 would suit your needs perfectly for gaming @ 1060

Slight downgrade on the motherboard and CPU, but the i5-6600k is still considerably better than your last. Many will recommend a g-sync monitor at 1440p, but realistically unless you are willing to shed out £450+ on a monitor you wont get one.

The monitor i've speced is a 1440p 60hz Dell ultrasharp monitor with great reviews and 99% sRGB

You won't see below 60fps on any game with this setup unless you max out a couple of games like the witcher 3 at native resolution, even then it would be high 40's-50's. It also allows for upgrades in future.

I was actually going to go with the £500 dell monitor and also this is list has a 1070. I was just asking if the extra £200 could improve anything like case or anything else. Thanks

Unfortunately the monitor has gone up to £530 from £450 since I made the list :( it is available elsewhere for less though if you google it.

Case is down to your personal preference really, you don't need to spend any more and the one I linked is really nice and good quality, but you might like others.

As far as the extra cash, you could swap the 6600K for the 6700K, but to be honest anything above that spec and you are getting in to diminishing returns, by that I mean not a lot of extra performance for you money.

I would stick to that spec and just add a nice cooler. I prefer big air coolers as they are more reliable, but you could get a nice Corsair AIO water cooler if you like the look of them.

If you watch the video it illustrates the games are few and far between and the FPS is negligible.

Look at the max cpu usage for the i5. Total Warhammer shows a 10% difference, Hitman shows a 7% difference, Cities Skylines shows 9% and Ashes shows 18%. I wouldn't call that negligible.

It will probably only get worse for the i5 once DX12 is fully established.
 
Hi guys. I received my order. I didnt know that I was getting a free power supply. Do I use use what I ordered, Super Flower Leadex GOLD 550W Fully Modular '80 Plus Gold' Power Supply or the free one, GX-188-GI: Gigabyte B700H 80+ Bronze 700W Modular Power Supply. Thanks
 
easiest might be to keep the free one and return the super flower one for a refund.

the super flower is probably a better PSU over all, but the option would be to keep it and try sell the gigabyte, which may not get you as much money.

Use the SuperFlower and keep the Gigabyte as a spare. If you ever have to rma the SuperFlower for some reason, then you can use the Gigabyte as a temp measure.
