Finally decided parts, need some opinions

Hardware Hub Build a PC
1

Hello,

After about 2 months of waiting for skylake, saving and researching parts I finally have my list of parts to build my new gaming pc, I have never built a full pc but have done jobs like installing new GPUs, PSUs and RAM and swapping cases so I think it will be fine just need a check to see whether I have good quality components.

Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor

NZXT Kraken X61 106.1 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

Asus Z170-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2666 Memory

Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

Western Digital BLACK SERIES 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Superclocked Video Card
(I went with reference because I personally love the look and if I decide to go SLI in the future the blower style card will be better for that, I will need to get a higher Wattage PSU but this is all I can afford for now)

Fractal Design Define R5 w/Window (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case

EVGA SuperNOVA G2 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

I have asked alot of questions and wanted to thank the community for helping me decide on these parts!

Many Thanks,

Budget and Country?

3

I live in the UK and my budget is about 1400 pounds

I'd probably go this route then, it includes a 4k IPS free-sync display

I haven't changed the build in a while I think, so a few parts could probably use some updating, but ya you really only need the unlocked i7 if you're trying to game on a high refresh rate display

I already have a Asus ROG swift this build is because my old pc couldn't run it well enough to take advantage of the refresh rate.

my second monitor is the benq xl2430t which is a 1080p 144hz monitor

Spose you're stuck with nvidia then, should be fine otherwise, though you should really get an after market 980ti so you can OC the crap out of it, any heat issues are going to be solved with a simple side case fan if you ever SLI it, which you probably really won't need

You could also maybe save some money on this cooler over that one, I can't find that one on the part picker, though the high end I saw was already 80

Yeah, I like the acx from EVGA so might get that, thanks for all your help, is my PSU good enough to run a 980 ti with the quality and wattage?

8

You could always bump it up to a 750W just because, the price probably isn't going to be too far off

9

I have had a look at some of the pricing the 750w it does still push my budget would the 650w power this system OK?

10

If there's nothing available it'll be fine even with a slight overclock

For the HDD Western Digital you choose, the Part # WD2003FZEX has the best reviews. Also, going to a Platinum PSU just gives you better components and cleaner supply and that in turn will look after all the rest of the PC,

but, ..... not the case.

i have to mention nvida's track record and would recommend against the 980TI in favor of the fury x or even a fury. come this time next year the 980TI will have been gimped just like the 780TI has been and the world keeps turning for amd users who get progressively better performance as time goes on.
