New Build

[Fate Zero]

Hi there. I got great advice from here a while back with my first build so I've come looking for more lol. Basically, I'm looking for a skylake build, focused for heavy gaming at 1080p. I'll need everything except for the GPU (GTX 970 G1 gaming), OS, HDD/SSD and keyboard/mouse/monitor. Budget isn't really a huge concern so I'd be interested to see what suggestions you could provide. I probably will in a year or so move on from 1080p, so I'd like the rest of the build to be good enough for playing at a higher res once I get a new GPU. Thanks

Or if you have the budget and want the option to SLI/Crossfire then swap the i5 for an X99 CPU/board. If you are thinking of going the multi-GPU route then up the PSU to an 850w unit
