Hello people,

I decided to build a new gaming system. The budget is that of 3k Euros.

After browsing a bit, I came out with this spec. What do you think of it, any parts that you would change of.

Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - OEM
Corsair Dominator 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C15 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black )
Asus Maximus VIII Hero Intel Z170 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard
Corsair AX760i Digital ATX '80 Plus Platinum' Modular Power Supply (
Corsair Hydro H100i GTX 240mm High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
Crucial BX100 250GB SSD SATA 6Gbps 7mm Solid State Drive
Corsair Carbide 540 High Airflow ATX Cube Case

Hello Rowlii,

Thanks for your output. Yes I was reading on the CPU forum part that an x99 version seems to be better somehow.

Build wise, I am only in doubt with the motherboard, since I never owned an MSI board. How do they perform in terms of reliability?

Thanks again.

I think that I will use an x99 ASUS board but since from my point of view they look better

Nuh ATX will do fine. I used an atx board for my father build
