General Discussionpc build advice

not sure where you live, but 16gb of ram should totally be availalble for 70-100$
could also go down with PSU a bit

i should have mentioned this is in AUD, so its pricey

ah yeh you're screwed

Looks fine, I googled the Mobo and I found 2 sites (amazon and Newegg) selling that mobo for $100.
I'd peruse websites for the same stuff just so you could get it cheaper.

Make sure your case has good ventilation, and make sure it's easy to open (so you can clean it without having getting a headache from opening it).

Shouldn't you just get an i7 7700 if you're planning on pairing it with a B250 anyway?

Also, if you're just using it for gaming, you kind of don't need an i7. Alternatively you can wait for R3 and R5 and see how that compares if you're not in a hurry. If you're a multitasker/using it for much more than gaming, you can benefit from more cores.

But if it's within your budget, it looks good

Edit: Also probably better to ask tech sites about this

What do u want to do with that PC?

jerk off to hentai and play jungle lc

I would just get an i5 6600k or whatever and save money. With that gpu it'll be the bottleneck on every game not the CPU. Which is fine. You'll get 60+ fps on everything at 1080p, just maybe can't max msaa

Asrock B250 Gaming K4, CPU: i7 7700k

XD pls get z270 if you're buying that cpu, even if you're not overclockign and get 3000mhz ram or I will get cancer, aids and ebola at the same time.

Also, if you're just using it for gaming, you kind of don't need an i7

I get aids from every comment like this where I hear "oh i7's are not for gaming, you're not going to benefit at all, not worth extra 100$" and other nonsense like that.

well, for many games a 7700k is overkill unless you have a beast GPU. in dota however, the cpu is almost always the bottleneck. and OP do not buy the 'k' version of a cpu unless you have a mobo that supports o/c. you are paying more money for an unlocked multiplier that you wont even use.

but please post your performance after building, i have the same GPU and have been waiting to upgrade cpu for quite some time.

But it's true. His system with a 960 with undoubtedly be gpu bound, and when people say asinine shit like dota is CPU intensive they are trying to go from like 120 fps to 140 which is fucking stupid cus u can't see the difference. Op probably doesn't have a 140 hz monitor either. i7 is overkill and just intels way of suckering you into more CPU than you need. Only workstations need hyper threading now. And for the future it'll be a while before games catch up and well be on our next pc by then.

Just look at this comparison, not a single game posts more than 1-2 fps difference between i5 6600 and i7 6700. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1646?vs=1554

this is the point of the tread to make sure I am not over paying.

ok fine, ill get the ASRock Z270 Pro4 Motherboard instead which costs $19 more.

Im gonna get a z270 to support O/C

What do u want to do with that PC?

Mainly for gaming ( b1,dota and others) sometimes i edit videos with moviemaker. Also, a cheap gpu so i can play VR games

Don't build. Buy Laptop

i7 with that motherboard doesn't bottleneck?
