Budget: close to $1000, can stretch maybe +/- 200 if it significantly helps
More specific use (what games, what programs): atm I mostly play D2, D3, PoE, and Smite (none too intensive)
Planned time until purchase: idk between now and up to like month or two, if parts still need to come out
Do you need an Operating System?: Yes, Windows 10 or Linux is fine
Do you have any specific preferred components?: Heard good things about the GTX 1070 and the intel i5 skylake
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: idk, i think i should be able to get an ethernet cord to the modem, and my monitor doesnt have built in speakers, im okay with headphones though
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: stock cooling is fine, most my games i play are older don't require overclocking, but might need to overclock in the future
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: i have a 144hz monitor, don't have keyboard or mouse but probably buy that myself
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): 41051, or might go to the microcenter store in close to my house in Cincinnati (most stuff is cheaper at the store than at newegg)

Sorry completely computer ignorant, just want to throw away this pos 5 year old laptop and get a desktop that i can play games in good quality that wont need to be upgraded for awhile, but is able to be upgraded easily.

Feel free to pm or post any questions or anything.

Thanks alot!

Here, just add a GTX 1070 ( ~ $380) when the custom versions release.

/e If your budget can handle it...I would recommend this instead...

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/WwNycc <----damn...$25.00 combo discount. :)


/ee ...and this GTX 1070...when available. I would guess...soon (1-3weeks?)

2nd build

why a optical drive?

why a $220 mobo? better for cheaper.

if you can stretch to $1300, you can swap the 6600k for the 6700k which is like $80 off right now.

Well with the combo discount..why not? That, and it's a far better board. :)

I always include Optical drives. I like them, if person doesn't want, they can edit it out of the parts list. :)



/e This is also why, I like that motherboard so much...I mean besides just it's stats...

Navigate to socket 1151, ATX, Z170 chipset, and then sort by rating. :)







Best of all, you can get it all from Newegg...note the shipping charges...
