I am planning a new PC. Main objectives are gaming and future proofing. My budget is 1000 CAD$. Here is the build I am considering at the moment. The Graphics card I already own from my last one and plan on changing in the next few months.
Any thoughts?
Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler Asus Z170-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive NZXT S340 (Black/Red) ATX Mid Tower Case EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Just bought all me parts gonna be building mine this week. Was on a budget so couldn't spend much but abused the shit out of black Friday deals to try and play vidya smooth.

I'd suggest you go with gtx 1060 or higher and do MSI for motherboard. And you could upgrade core to i7 6700k. And still manage being under 1k
Hunter Hall
I could cut down on the mobo, but I fear I would loose on upgradability a few years down the line. Do you have a specific MSI mobo in mind?
And i7 would bust my 1000$ [i]canadian[/i] dollars limit. Plus the benchmarks I've seen don't seem to give it an edge gaming wise.
Camden Ramirez
You went for an i3?
Robert Morgan
Yeah. Was on budget but it has hyperthreading.
Nathan Flores
Self-bump for why not.
Jace Morris
I've read a few reviews the last two days that suggest hyoperthreading is mostly for video encoding and the like.
Zachary Phillips
I5 6600k is good too. I would say this MSI motherboard
I use Vegas pro 13 a lot. But also want to do mid gaming. Overwatch, smite, gtav. Etc I saw benchmarks anf reviews for it and played a smooth 1920x1080 at 60fps.
Will be doing bunch of YouTube, FB, Netflix and shit.
John Walker
My boy get the i5 6600k and the MSI H1110m Mobo
Fry's electronics sometimes sells refurbishes liquid coolers for about half the price.
I got a H80i GT for 60 bucks. Definitely give Fry's a look.
Ayden White
for the love of god get a better gpu
Owen Foster
You wanna game so you buy a gt520. Are you retarded.
Christopher James
K, our need are not the same.
Can't seem to find that piece in Canada
Checking it out
I'm too broke for a good gfx card right nowm that will have to wait.
Connor Perry
Just get 6600k and the cheapest mobo you can find. Spend the rest on your graphics card.
Lincoln Thompson
Swap out the SSD for a 1TB hard drive and use the extra cash to get a better graphics card. You won't get anywhere with a GT 520 nowadays.
Aaron Smith
bitch you said you have a 1000 budget
Blake Torres
Hyper 212 meme is dead. It's all about the H7 now.
Kayden Walker
its okay i guess but the video card just isnt. you need to change it.
Robert Anderson
I don't need to be able to play right now, I want a very good build exept the gfx card and then buy that piece later.
1000$ canadian
I have external storage, I could always open one to get the HDD for a temporary solution
Ayden Green
My comp atm
Charles Ross
Gtx 950s r good
Nathaniel Morales

Joshua Carter
So... you're planning on overclocking in the future right?
Gabriel Peterson
I do know the video card is shitty as fuck, but my reasoning is that it would be better to have a good base system and then save up the money for a good graphic card. Unless I can shave something off without compromising future-proofability.
James Sanchez

Jacob Sullivan

Christian Cook
CPU cooler might be changed in a few years.
Robert Turner
future proofing is a meme
Jeremiah Ross
Nah, only two memory slots, not future proof.
Joshua Brown
You're a meme
Caleb Bell
Go with 1050 or 1050Ti. Really solid graphics cards for a low budget build and mid to high end gaming.
Juan Gonzalez

Austin Sullivan
>My budget is 1000 CAD$
No one wants your Castro-loving loonies bitch.
Charles Rivera
K, my budget is 700 freedom-loving-dollars.
Adrian Thomas
That's more like it. Freedom loving dollars are accepted everywhere.
Brody Peterson
The CPU showcased on that table is quite awesome, but alas won't fit my preferred case.
Justin Martin
One last shameless self-bump.
Logan Torres
Your argument is that you want future proof thus put a shit tier gpu in your build. I'll go straight to the point: you are retarded. Building a PC is about balance, you can't purshase a 90$ USD case and say ''I'm on an budget'' and can't afford proper GPU. For intense, you can buy a 20$ case and buy a dream case later. Also you can just stick with cheap cooling and upgrade it as you like in the future. because what's the point of overclocking if your build is not even done. Your powersupply is fucking 130$ USD and has nothing to do with future proofing. The only thing that does is your mobo and CPU which are fine. Cut all the rest and buy a 1050. If not I don't get your shit logic at all. You can always sell a used 1050 and buy better gpu if you want, like wtf.
Liam Morgan
Cooler is 35 CAD Memory I could get 8g but would need to upgrade pretty soon anyways. SSD, HDD aren't much cheaper and I already have external storage. Case and PSU I would like your suggestions. I would like your suggestions everywhere else in facts, but considering it would be easy and (relatvely) cheap to change only the gpu in a few months rather than change many lower quality pieces withing two years, I would think this is a good strategy?
Elijah Howard
niggers
Zachary Ramirez
>but alas won't fit my preferred case
Hmm, quite the conundrum. Perhaps a larger case or one of AMDs budget offerings will prove more suitable.
I might suggest more cleverly designed games - like chess or blackjack in Vegas, or ugly girls as sources of entertainment.
Jack Howard
After a prompt research, I have found a perfectly adequate case for this marvel of modern technology. It shall fit right next to my IBM 7090 mainframe.
Nolan Allen
It's only lacking a window.
Dominic Peterson
I feel you, but I would not mind switching a couple piece to be able to have a proper build. Pic related, these cases have some real discounts going on. I just went on newegg and sorted them by lowest price (CAD). Anything work for cases really, just take the one you prefer. For PSU, you don't even need 300W for thw whole build. Buy I get that 500 would be cool for high end GPU in the future. The hec HP585DB 585W is fucking 30$ CAD atm, if you can't afford to loose 30$ (15 if you resell it) then maybe waiting to have the cash for the full build would be the solution for you. By the way there you go, I just saved you a shit ton of money to put on GPU.
Jack Hall
>Gaming PC >Future proofing >Only gets one 250gb SSD
god speed user
Isaac Cruz
Would I buy these? No. But that's the point, the PSU/case I recommend you are only exemples. You can take anything in that price range. You can upgrade them eazy since changing case = unplugging PSU anyways, I takes what, 20mins?
Ryder Cox
kek. i just bought and assembled a very similar build. same cpu noctua cpu cooler asus z170-ar corsair 16gb ddr4-3000 samsung 500 gb solid state corsair mid tower case evga 650w 80+ gold ps and i'm borrowing my buddies 520 gpu waiting for prices to drop on 1070's.
it really weirded me out seeing this post and just had to comment. i love my pc and coming from a 7 yr old pc that i first built i'm feeling pretty good about the longevity. you'll be happy user. get yourself a gpu when you can and you'll be a.ok for a good while
Jaxon Walker
Don't think that will be big enough. On the first run of 4004's, they inadvertently reversed the lithographic optical train, resulting in comically large chips on the meter-wide wafers of the day.
Blake Taylor
I loved my 212 Evo but it's a meme. I got 4.9 GHz on my 4790k before I got my new build. Watercooling is so worth it.
Mason Price
k, so cheap case and psu leaves me about 150 $ for a gfx card. I'm a little reluctant to go for a cheap psu tho. Safety wise.
Nicholas Brooks
I currently have the MIS GTX 1070 Twin Frozr and I love it. Sooooo worth it.
Owen Ramirez
Or is it preferable to wait 2-3 months to have enough money to get a whole system. Are there new piece that will come out that will get current pieces pireces down?
Owen Cooper
with the psu you got, the bronze one, I would not be alarmed. They offer really good customer support if it fails and evga is trustable. Also for future proofing 16GB of ram is important imo, but at the moment 8GB of fast ram like yours will do the job and you will not even notice it. Also buying a stick is eazy and fast. That would leave you with more than a decent amount for GPU. But hey, you can always wait to have cash for the whole thing too. But personaly I would either go my way and have a functional build or wait everything.
Jacob Bennett
fuuuuuuck yes. really good to hear. i'm a casual gamer and dont really care too much about stellar graphics but i do want to have an enjoyable rendered experience. just couldn't afford it at the time. what kind of gamer experience do you prefer? like, do you care much about ultra high settings and 144hz? is the 1070 getting the job done for what you want out of it?
Xavier Fisher
How about this?
Jonathan Gray
dude it's one of those things you just kind of have to pull the trigger on or else you'll never end up getting the components. or you'll wait too long and newer components will come out. buyers remorse can suck, but next gen gpus wont be out for a while so its probably a good time. just dont look at prices after you purchase and assemble. its cyclical consumption at it's finest, so you just have to not dwell on it and enjoy what you've spent so much time researching
Jason Williams
I play CSGO at a like, really shitty semi pro level, and well, I get over 600 FPS at 144hz. I also play Arma2/3, heavily modded, and get 60+ FPS max settings 1080p. It helps that I'm running a 5820 at 4.2GHz
Bentley Scott
dubs xD I actually have 16 GBs of RAM but I have no clue why only 8 show up in NVIDA when I use 12+ GB when using Vegas Pro. kek
Camden Hall
Do you know a lot about 5gen vs 6gen CPU? I heard it's basicly same shit
Brandon King
Ok, so now I need a decent 100 to 150CADE$ GPU.
Or I could still go for my initial build, wait a while and get a 400-500CAD$ GPU...
Whit four slots I could later get two sticks of the same kind of RAM to get 16G at a later date. I've read conflicting reports on that subjects, some saying it's not optimal, most saying it's perfectly doable.
Leo Russell
ok
Connor King
Indeed.
Jaxson Jackson
Honestly it depends, I love my 1070/5820k and it's so amazing. But the 1050ti is also a really good price for performance card. Maybe ask around the linustechtips forms, not Sup Forums
Oliver Cook
Personally I just got this new PC less than a month ago. I really didn't see a point for going with the 6800k? I think it's called, idk, but they're pretty much the same.
Also OP, you could always resell the 1050ti used and upgrade to a 1070/80 later. Personally that's what I would do
Caleb Ross
>The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact. I am pitching a first draft.
Caleb Anderson
trips checked
Levi Russell
true, but hell yeah. thats awesome. i haven't even overclocked my 6600k yet but it's been outperforming what i thought it could right out of the box which was really cool. yeah again really good to hear because i was used to 720p windowed gaming and since this build i've been really happy with that 520 gpu i have. really excited to geek out on stupid settings when i get the 1070.
Lincoln Long

Daniel Gonzalez
Your ssd is using 4GB ram
Landon Rivera
Well, it's fucking 6AM and I'm browsing Sup Forums like the lonely loser I am, just trying to help out some computer not so nerds.
Brody Young
If you have 4 slots of ram, it's almost always better to put 4 sticks. It's cheaper and enable more line which equal more stability and MAY be a little faster. I personally put 4x4 if i have a build with 4 slots user. So good idea imo. Also your cpu has integrated graphics. I'm not sure but it may be better than your 520...
Ian Thomas
Speaking of my SSD I need to deleted some of my porn xD
Colton Walker
dubs on dubs check
Ayden Watson
6600k is advertised as overclockable by intel so it doesn't hurt the warranty to do so. i think that might be the only significant difference. you could overclock a 5000+ but it wouldn't be covered. this might be complete bullshit but thats the way that i understood it
Juan Nguyen
Yeah I think I have my 1070 around 2GHz without any overclocking. I went from a 970/4790k so it's a pretty big bump from 3.5GBs of VRAM to 8
Jack Baker
Hmmm I think that the 5820-5960x are covered in overclocking warranties because they're all technically 'extreme' edition CPUs. I'm not sure how all of this BS works tbh
Ethan Harris
Might very well be. I'm a bit more wavering now, but I'm still leaning towards the two buying step option. Keeping the gpu in the old one would keep me a bitch computer for whatever task I might need.
Don't worry, you're helping a loser... Yaaaaay!
Zachary Young
you're probably right. i haven't gone near this info since i built mine.
Josiah Green
Hahaha I'm just a typical depressed Sup Forumstard browsing the internet listening to the main menu theme of Deus X Humankind Revolution
Liam Allen
Woah thanks for the tip user I'll go with 6gen think it's worth
Josiah Perez
Yeah I had so many issues building mine because it had been a year since I last built my PC. 2 monsters and a ton of sexting a hot girl I finally got it done. And no anons I don't have any pics
Henry Thompson
Ignore these retards about the gpu and go with your plan for it, it's fine. You might consider waiting for the 960 evo to release though, it's an nvme m.2 ssd, it will be a lot faster compared to sata ssds.
Jose Edwards
Well, thanks for the input y'all, I'll lurk a bit then sleep on it.
Justin Martin
You are wrong about the ram, it's dual channel, as long as you have two sticks in matched slots, there should be no drop in speed.
Aaron Myers
Well boys I feel like the thread is about to 404. It t'was a pleasure. OP, I wish you luck in your PC build!
