This is also a nice one, but a little more expensive.


That's one of the reasons I like the K CPU, trying to future-proof it a little.
The PC I'm buying this to replace was a $800 PC from 6-7 years ago. Hoping for it to last similarly as long.

Not a fan of the Seagate HDD (minor thing, I know, I've just had problems with Seagate and Zotac in the past).

Yes I have SSD + optical drive + OS already.


the reason my build is more expensive is because of more durable parts (from my experience). you can opt for a msi or gigabyte motherboard, but for me i WOULD NOT use one again myself. Ive NEVER had an issue with ASUS boards, thus why every build i make has one. I dont like the idea of fighting with RMA's... ( you pay for what you get right? )

also for best efficiency from a PSU, you do not want it under more than 65% constant load, which is why i generally try to build a pc with a psu with x2 the requirements.


if you have the ssd/optical/OS, they can be removed from my build and re-used?

without ssd/optical/OS:

Right Z170.
It's true about PSU, not necessary to have full. Tinkering around, got a semi modular bronze 550W. Stepped the memory up to 2400 as well.

550W is more than enough, right? I was using http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator and the highest wattage I could get it to that I might actually do in real life was 368W. (pc part picker says 337W)

This is probably very close to a final build (if not THE).

Thanks a bunch for your help, and the others as well.


get this instead
