    Question About MMO-Champ "Unicorn"

    So, for the first time in my life, i will be able to get proper gaming PC in next week or two. It will be in price range of MMO-Champ Unicorn (with 1070), and it seems like both solid and popular set up.

    First of all i would like to ask for opinions about it.
    I will play @1080. I would like stable 60 fps.
    Most of the time it will be WoW + some HotS or Diablo.
    I know i can play WoW preset 9 on way cheaper machine right now, but i have a feeling i wont be geting new machine for next decade lol. So i need to have it future proof as much as possible.
    And i would definitely like to launch some kind of Witcher 3 as a bonus on very high details to admire graphics and play for few days.
    BUT playing WoW / HotS with as high as possible settings for years to come is the prio.

    Secondly, after looking through some tests, benchmarks etc. i started to think about switching:
    * I5-6600k + custom heatsink
    for
    * I7-6700 + boxed heatsink
    The price would stay similar, as well as performance, with I7 being better for Video / Photo related job. And i guess non-OC CPU will have longer lifespan than OC one, even if i buy good heatsink for the later.

    Finaly, if i would go with I7-6700, is it still good option to buy Asus Z170 mobo? I know it is praised and awsome mobo, but it feels like it is mostly due to OC support.

    I wouldn't go by those builds mmochamp does, they often choose parts that make no sense. PC part pricing changes daily and can be quite drastic, the best you can do is give a budget and someone here can give you an idea what best suits your needs. When you have the money make another post.

    Lifespan of silicon components mainly depends on Voltage fed and subsequently operating temperature of the component.
    Keep both low and a K will last just as long as a non K cpu.
