    Im in need of upgrading my CPU, which in turn requires me to likely upgrade my Mobo & RAM (Currently have a i3 2120)

    Im really liking the specs on the i7 6800k, can anyone recommend a good Mobo & RAM combo to complement it.

    I play mostly games, no animation or rendering. I dont really intend to SLI, and im working with a 700 euro budget to cover CPU+MOBO+RAM

    Actually, you could just get a 3rd gen i5 or 2nd gen and above i7, both still excellent for the latest games. i7-2600 goes for around 100-120, 3rd gen i5 goes for around 80.

    Guy has both here, the 2600K for 100 is a great price. i5-3570 as well for 80 which is still a very solid processor.

    Put the bulk of your money then towards an excellent graphics card.

    What GPU do you have?

    What model of power supply?
