First PC Build

Earth G

Hi all.

So i'm planing to build my first Gaming PC.
Will be using it for Games like Anno 2070, Diablo 3, Battlefield 3.
Be able to run COD Black Ops 3, Battlefield 5, and Anno 2205 when they're released on Ultra setting.

Is there anything i should change?

These are the parts i'm planing to order.
Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor €330
Deepcool LUCIFER 81.3 CFM CPU Cooler €50
Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard €197
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2666 Memory €101
Corsair Neutron XT 480GB 2.5" Solid State Drive €242
MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Video Card €607
EVGA 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply €135
NZXT Phantom (White) ATX Full Tower Case €99
Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM (64-bit)

If everything is bought on Newegg.
Grand Total:* €2.014,82 Shipping included.

And for Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM (64-bit) I will need Optical Disk Drive.
Would i be able to use one from an older PC?

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Quite the PC, you could knock €500 or so off tbh if you wanted, a lot of that is OTT.

A 600w PSU is all you need, and a cheaper Z170 board will make no difference.

You can install Windows from USB, but an oldish disk drive will be fine too

You should probably add a HDD

booooring!

I'd keep the bigger power supply in case of SLI down the road.

Digital Solitude

He'll want a 1200-1300 for SLI 980Tis and itd be ridiculous to start with one, he may as well start small and upgrade

If you buy on Newegg you'll have to pay import charges and vat on top of your price.

Runs to 23%

A semi-modular power supply will be a bit cheaper and everyone needs a 24 pin Mobo connector and CPU fan header anyway.

As you mainly want to play the three games you could use a smaller SSD (or perhaps 2 little ones in RAID) and Perhaps Bump the RAM with the difference More RAM gives the option of running things in a RamDisk (I like Raedon's - Free one is 4GB so you can try before you buy)

That is a very popular GPU card and I am sure a little hunting around will save you a few euro on it.

So now i downgraded from i7 6700k(€330) to i5 6600k (€232)
Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 Mobo (€197) to GIGABYTE GA-Z170XP-SLI (rev. 1.0) Mobo (€130)
And Corsair Neutron XT 480GB 2.5" SSD (€242) to Corsair Force LS 2.5" 480GB SATA III MLC SSD (€170)

That dropped the price from
Grand Total: €2,015 Shipping included. to Grand Total: €1,776 Shipping included.

Make sure you take note of superg's point above. Import charges will add a huge amount of cost to this. You'll be charged VAT and Import Duty on total shipped price - could easily add another €500 to this!

You're better off buying from Europe if you're based here, I don't think you'll have fill warranty from Newegg either

Based on SuperG's and Michael Collins advice i moved to overclockers.

Based on Digital Solitude's and battlestar's advice changed few things.

Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI - Intel Core i5 6600K Bundle €397
Samsung 250GB 850 EVO SSD 2.5 €112
Kingston Fury Black 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2400MHz €108
Be Quiet! Dark Rock Advanced CPU Cooler €67

MSI GeForce GTX 980Ti Gaming 6144MB €757
EVGA SuperNova G2 850W '80 Plus Gold' €155 (LOOKING INTO SEMI-MODULAR)
NZXT Phantom Enthusiast USB3.0 Full Tower Case - White €129

Grand Total: €1,750 Shipping included.

And does any one know, why i can't edit my Posts?

Digital Solitude

A 600w PSU is about half that price :eek:

Other than that, looks solid.
You need a certain post count to edit, dunno what it is

If buying from the UK try Scan.co.uk. Always cheaper than Overclockers anytime I've bought stuff.
