Hey guys is this a good build? im thinking of building a powerful pc for 4k and stuff.
Intel Core i7 6700K
Asus B150 Pro Gaming Aura Motherboard
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 WindForce OC 8GB
Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR4 Ram
Corsair CX-750 Modular Power Suply
120 Gigabyte SSD
1 Terabyte HDD
Some flaws:
>i7 6700k
Get a ryzen 7 instead.
>Corsair CX PSU
Avoid these like the plague. made from cheap Chinese crap. Mine broke after a year and fried my GPU with it. Luckily I was able to refund the later.
Also, why get a k Intlel chip and a B150 motherboard? You won't be able to overclock it.
Can the B250 OC?
You'll have to change the movie as well if you get ryzen 7, but it will probably be worth it.
The B350 or B350M (both with the suffix "Pro") are pretty good quality and have a chance to upgrade + native OC +M.2 drive +NVME drive
The i7 6700k is a pretty good CPU, but for 4K I'd also recommend like the ryzen 7 1700 or 1800 with 6/8 cores for better processing
Agree with you on the PSU part: never cheap out on one
No. The only way to clock an Intel CPU is a k unlocked chip and an X170/270 Mobo.
my CX600M has worked over 2 years now without any hiccups...
>i7
>2017
no get a ryzen 1700 or 1700x instead
Op here so basically motherboard and psu, i already bought this a week agi waiting on it to arrive, kind of wish i asked beforehand now, i will get a new motherboard but is the psu really that bad?
Lol this build is a total mess, why did you not put in the little effort to check if what you chose is actually proper stuff.
so assuming i just use it for 1440p gaming and shit it should shit over what i need though?
u mean z170 / z270
refuse the delivery when it arrives to get an automatic return/refund, and then place an order for something that's not retarded.
Aren't you better off with a 1080ti, instead of a regular 1080? It's more expensive, but if you are going for a 4k-capable PC, cheaping out isn't really an option.

CXM PSUs are better than CX PSUs. I still wouldn't buy anything below gold for a build like that, though. It's just too much money to risk frying it with a crappy PSU.
Yeah, you fucked up. Get a non-K i7-6700 to save a few bucks.
they're the same unit, only difference is the modularity. both are the same dsaiii double forward design from cwt. however, the new cxm is a good quality dc-dc design, let down by a shit quality fan. instead of it being based on a basic design, its based on something that corsair designed themselves, manufactured by CWT
>fell for the 4k meme
Green label (the new ones) CX PSUs are actually decent.
green are the old ones, the new good ones are the grey ones
the old ones were overpriced but werent that bad if I'll be that honest
I don't know about the grey ones, I just know that the original yellow labels were bad and the green ones were decent.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere the modular versions have higher quality capacitors but it was a long time ago and I can't be bothered to look for the source.
>intel
Please keep this shit to Sup Forums
A single gtx 1080 is not enough, You need either x2 GTX 1080 SLI or x2 GTX GTX 1080 Ti SLI and you STILL have to lower the setting in some games. Now fuck off
quit listening to these autists op, just build it the way you want it
Gpu:1080ti (this is needed for 4k gaming)
CPU: Intel i5 7600k or i7 7700k (Intel gaming option, you don't need more than 4 cores, pair this with a z270 motherboard)
AMD option
you can't do 4k with this rig unless you're coming from console and can compromise at medium settings and 30fps
