Getting ready to buy hopefully later this week(end). Everything look good ? http://pcpartpicker.com/list/CKrq4C

Also, how do I install windows important games onto the ssd? Drag and drop or does that not work like a USB would?

I have a 500gb external I can use if need be


I'm gaining interest in multiboxing 5 clients of WoW... a buddy of mine that multiboxed recommended:

32gb ram
liquid cooling
800W PSU

thoughts? refer to link in quote for build

Yeah that's gonna be expensive.
Watercooling is at least 350$ for lower end. (Without gpu blocks)
800w why? 500w would actually be sufficient.

32gb ram that would be overkill
An instance is about 1gb ram per. So running those multiboxes would take up 5gb ram. Windows is about 1.5-2gb. Then you got another 25gb ram.. so 16 is more than enough.

Hey that's my build :thumbsup:
You gotta reinstall windows from new. And it would be wise to install games from new as well. You can move over save files and config game files from your old system.

If you got a win key and a 8gb usb key you can download windows on windows own site.

Yeah I was looking into that. So would I download the usb downloader on an external, boot my new computer with my old HDD, install W10 on my SSD then change the boot preferences to my SSD? And wipe my HDD of windows or is that not necessary?

Okay I don't need that much RAM :) what about the cpu getting too hot if I'm running that many clients? Would that cooler work? I can spare some more money if it's necessary

Yeah that cooler would keep it way under any dangerous temperatures. And even room for some overclocking when ever you feel like trying that. Well first you gotta be on a random PC. Go to their website and download a USB windows10 boot maker from their site. You need an usb stik with at 8gb which totally clean. It will then make the usb stick bootable like a CD. Put it win your new PC where your SSD is install. Installing it is quite easy.

Just put everything you wanna save from your hdd over on your external. And then format your hdd so you can get that Windows removed from it. When it's done move back what ever you need from the external. And you can now use your old HDD as storage and games if you like that.

Samsung 850 Evo do not lose performance like other lowend ssd and regular hdd's when getting full. You should tho keep a few GB unused for updates. So you can go ahead and use like 240gb for os, programs and some games you priority loading faster.

E: most likely field with errors, I hate typing on my phone xD

Yeah everything fits and it's quite balanced and even pretty future proof in the sense of good quality, K cpu and z170 chipset.
Like in a few years you don't fell like you are getting enough fps in the new games. You could just put in a new gpu. Because the cpu market is standing stil right now.
