    Looking for enlightenment with a new pc build.

    Hello, like the title says, i am looking to build a new pc for around 1500$. Asked a guildy who is into pc build and he came up with this http://pcpartpicker.com/list/Qyh3RG

    Now my question is, for the amount is there anything that could be changed for the better.
    If there is some piece that would cost a small amount i wouldn't mind spending a bit more.

    Please use the Sticky first so we know what you rly need.

    Include the following information when posting a request.


    Budget
    Resolution
    Games / Settings Desired
    Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc)
    Country
    Parts that can be reused
    Do you need an OS?
    Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)?
    The build looks good but if you only game a I5 6600K is enough, if you dont overclock a 6500 save you some bugs, also a cheaper board will do it then.
    I would go with WD Blue 1-2 TB HDD and a OCZ Trion 150 480GB SSD maybe switch to 2666Mhz Ram if its cheaper.

    This is what id do. I assume you are playing on a 1080p monitor (well, cause thats what most people have) a 1070 is just too much graphics card for that resolution. Also an overclockable i5 will give more benefit than an i7 for a lot less money in a gaming rig.

    The only thing I would change is the RAM, go with http://pcpartpicker.com/product/zsL7...x424c12sb2k216 instead, almost 20$ more but the CAS is so much better.
    PM me weird stuff :3
