I know the RAM was overkill x10 but with 2 screens and usually 40 things going on in the background, I figure I could always use more ram. Other thing is I was thinking of running a virtualbox which then would take more RAM as well.
Thanks for the power supply option, will definitely be worth...
been doing alot of research, do you mind taking a look at my build currently? I took in consideration all the above builds, and added my own thoughts.

CPU: i7-6700K having a sale on newegg so seems like a good deal
MOBO: Z170A, I guess I could go to Z170E...
thanks for the info!
might up my budget a little actually so certain things might be within reach :)
I searched around for a similar guide on DDR4 but couldn't find anything... am I thinking too much that there should be differences on the DDR4 brands?
thanks so much for all the information above!
everything else is pretty standard, there are a few sales for SSDs going on newegg right now that I am tempted to buy. Anything I should steer clear away from?
Also I noticed that both are i5 and not i7, understanding that it's a bit cheaper, but...
no I want to have the potential to be a semi decent gaming machine (if I decided to play some more intensive games in the future), not hardcore gaming.
so I would need:
-SSD
-DDR4 RAM (16GB is what im aiming for)
-I7 (not sure what to get here)
-Decent graphics card (can anyone confirm that has...
Hi all, it's been a long longggg while since I've built my last system... but I think it's time :)
I found this thread earlier :

But I figure I would at least list what I need and maybe you guys...
Would i5-760 be better than i5-750? It's got a higher Ghz. Although the bench for Wow is showing 750 with a higher FPS than the 760.
So far I have:
i5-7(5/6)0
does the mobo that you listed earlier have the capibility to overclock the cpu?
case - doesn't really matter(right?)
dvd drive...
sorry for the delayed post, i'm still traveling for work lately.
Both of you guys listed the i5-750 instead of the AMD black edition. The benchmarks show intel beats out AMD, but do ppl pick the amd based on it being a little cheaper and able to overclock more?
I'm still entertaining the idea...
What do you think of the 8gb ram special:

Thank you mfenn and DominionSeraph for the specs. Im getting horrible internet at the hotel room here so won't be able to pull up all the detailed specs till tomorrow. But I am thinking of going for the 8GB ram and possibly a SSD. Is a SSD going to have a significant performance increase?
wow thank you for such a detailed and fast response!
I thought to get a SLI/crossfire setup all you have to do is buy another card of the same kind? Is there more to do other than software setup?
Was trying to pull up a benchmark for the 6870 in anandtech, but can't seem to one. Searching...
I posted this in the wrong forum the first time so sorry if some of you read this in another forum. Hopefully I can get more help here :)

bump for some help :)
I've found 3 barebone kits from newegg that seem to have a good starting point.
Trying to get a system that I can play current games(mostly WoW and SC2) at max settings. And be able to at least last me a few more years(possible crossfire/SLI upgrade)

Hi there!
I am trying to build a new computer in the next few months but was wondering if I can get a few ideas from you guys.
I built my computer years ago, but the last 7 years or so i've only been buying pre-built computers and upgrading the graphics card and maybe adding some ram...
