Hey I'm working on my second build and I'm looking for some suggestions/opinions on the build. I have a budget of about $850. Most the parts marked purchased are what I'm taking off my previous build except the GPU. I got it at Bestbuy for cheap. I also already have all my peripherals i.e. keyboard, mouse, etc. I MUST have a genuine version of windows for college and work.
edit: I'll be using this for gaming and CAD. I also reside in the U.S. I'll also be crossfiring two 390's early next year. Apologize for not originally posting this.
edit 2: Thank you everyone for your input and help!!!
Get a better cooler, or cheaper one... Those Corsair 120/140s are, let's try to be nice, poop... For that system you don't need more than 650W... 1050 is overkill of an overkill... If you don't really love this case, you can also go with slightly cheaper one without loosing much in terms of quality, and get yourself into i7 territory. Not sure if your software will take advantage of the hyperthreading though, so you may want to check that...
Ok, I haven't had much experience with Corsair water coolers. Any other brand you'd recommend. The reasoning behind the PSU is that I'll be crossfiring two 390's early next year(sorry I forgot to put this in OP). The website isn't very clear if it does or doesn't though I'm assuming it does since it recommends a XEON E3 and/or i7.
I would get away from an all in one watercooler and use a good noctua, corsair, or other nice air cooler until the budget allows for a true custom loop. the all in ones do not really cool any better than the better air coolers out there, and the air coolers do it for %60-%90 of the cost. there is an all in one out there that is expansible, but it's name eludes me.
EDIT: i just remembered, AlphaCool makes pre-picked part kits for custom loops.
Or EK's Predator. It's $199, but it's an AIO built from their custom loop accessories and allows you to change out parts if you decide to make a custom loop later. That way you don't have to start from scratch.
I don't have the mounting brackets for the xigmatek... Just found an intel water cooler that's in my budget. I've never heard of it. Has anyone heard/used it??
Join the NH-D15 master race. I get mine tomorrow. It shall be gloriously poop coloured.
To be honest, why the holy nutbars would you be bothering with anything over a 212 EVO with that CPU and mobo? You can't overclock with those... no? Or is skylake a special snowflake? If you're using it for CAD get a 1231v3 (it's essentially a 4790 without the iGPU) - extra threads should help, no? Or, if you can afford it, a 4790k. Only with the former option should you consider anything over a 212 EVO really for cooling.
I considered a 4790k, but I'm attempting to get more life out of the pc with DDR4 and the new socket type(LGA 1151). The i5 6600k can be OC but the i5 6500(to my knowledge) can't. I'm trying to buy so when I upgrade in the future I won't have to buy a better cooler.
...you're using up more money buying a 6500 and a badass cooler only to throw out the 6500 later on. Do it the other way round, worse cooler and a 6600k. Loss of throwing the cooler out will be much less, and so gives you more money to spend from the get go considering the savings from getting a worse cooler will probably outweight the price increase from a 6500 to a 6600k...
Yeah, I'm planning on doing crossfire at a later date. I considered going cheaper, but the only manufactures I trust are Corsair and XFX. At least as far as PSU's go. But thank you for the recommendations.
Rosewill and seasonic are gooduns. One or the other makes the PSUs for like all the other brands. My memory's flaky af. Some google-fu'd help. It's seasonic.
