So i have finally decided to build a new PC, My current budget is 1500 but maybe if i wait a little longer i can up my budget more, Not sure what i should go for parts wise though that is where i need your guys help.
Any help would be brilliant. Thanks :)
 
Possibly overkill for you although just in budget but something like this is what I'm aiming at in January.

MSI X99A SLI Plus - Crucial Ballistix 16GB Memory Discount Bundle **£45 OFF** - £214.98

Intel i7-5820K 3.30GHz (Haswell-E) Socket LGA2011-V3 Processor - Retail (BX80648I75820K) - £305.99

Samsung 500GB 850 EVO SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 32 Layer 3D V-NAND Solid State Drive (MZ-75E500B/EU) £119.99

Asus GeForce GTX 980Ti DC3 Strix 6144MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (GTX980TI-6GD5) - £524.99

Corsair RM Series RM850X '80+ Gold' 850W Modular Power Supply (CP-9020093-UK) - £104.99

Corsair Graphite 780T Full Tower Case - White (CC-9011059-WW) £159.95

Corsair Hydro H100i GTX 240mm High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (CW-9060021-WW) - £94.99

£1,525.88

I'd probably spend less though if you're not planning on upgrading your monitors.
 
If you want to save some money, go with a Skylake i5 build. If you plan on doing Video rendering/editing etc then an i7 will help.

You can also cut down on the cost of the cooler by getting an air cooler such as the Alpenfohn Matterhorn Black.

Phanteks Enthoo Luxe or Fractal R5 are cheaper cases.

Zotac 980 ti is also cheaper and has a 5 year warranty after you register it. If you only have a 60Hz 1080p monitor though then it is a bit overkill.


The shop isn't loading at the moment so I can't do you a full spec.

Thanks for the help mate!
 
Honestly, people are recommending way overkill. I'd get an i7 6700 + 390x. It will more than do for 1080p. Overclocking Skylake is also very overrated, expensive and has poor returns.

If you prefer Nvidia then change the gpu to a GTX 970.
