The thing is that when you ask for advice with a specific budget in mind then raise that budget right away it makes it difficult to help. The 6700k is a better CPU in every way and the mobo I added was only because of budget constraints. | ||

Currently 1080p - gonna upgrade later this year to 1440p What games do you intend to play on this computer? What settings? Playing everything - simple games like d3 and also games like witcher 3 or farcry stuff or sc2 What do you intend to use the computer for besides gaming? Streaming Do you intend to overclock? Yes, but just beginner friendly level of overclock Do you intend to do SLI / Crossfire? maybe but probably not Do you need an operating system? no Do you need a monitor or any other peripherals and is this part of your budget? no If you have any requirements or brand preferences, please specify. psu i ve had good experiences with bequite and bad ones with cougar. What country will you be buying your parts in? Germany If you have any retailer preferences, please specify. Mindfactory.de most likely - there is also hardwareversand.de but don't know which to pick, if one knows a good seller i would be all ears thou. I saw that the new gpus are just around the corner, could wait for it but would like to get an overall idea of how my rig could look like with my budget. could also buy now without gpu cuz i got a 970 in my old rig and buy the new gpu when they release. Appreciate your help. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/KTJCpg. Price has been adjusted to mindfactory.de, so you still have around 400 EUR, which should be enough for GTX1070. With that budget, you can pretty much go with the super standard skylake i7-6700k build, for streaming purpose, and it will handle pretty much any game you throw at it, no question. Overclock is pretty much the same, beginner level or not, as long as you are not pushing to the extreme limit, but something like 4.5GHz is easily doable on 212 Evo. | ||

I want to buy this headphone on Amazon, link here, and out of the 3 sellers only Sonic Electronix, Inc ships internationally. The one with the tag "Fulfillment by Amazon" does not ship to Singapore .So is it generally safe to buy from Sonic Electronix, Inc, via Amazon or directly from their site? And how will warranty and return work if purchasing via Amazon? Thanks | ||

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3930k CPU@ 3.20GHz (12CPUs),~3.2Hz Memory: 61440MB RAM (I don't know how to check what kind it is, but if it is important I can try to open it up and check) Motherboard: P9X79 WS Graphics card: GeForce 210 What is your monitor's native resolution? Gonna upgrade here, gonna get something like this one, Acer 24" Predator GN246HL Why do you want to upgrade? What do you want to achieve with the upgrade? My dad brought the computer home from his work where it was used for software development, so it was never intended for gaming. But I was thinking if I slap on a better graphics card, maybe it would do for gaming? Intended games StarCraft, The Witcher 3, Counter-strike, maybe some new titles? What is your budget? 850 euro. What country will you be buying your parts in? Sweden. | ||

Return policy you should just check Amazon's site and the seller's profile page. Usually you have like 30 days to return something defective. You make claims through Amazon (which get sent to the seller) and if they're unresponsive/unhelpful then you can contact Amazon for help. | ||

For 1070, there is only official specifications but no benchmarks, but from specs alone can expect something faster than current gen anyway, so definitely decent upgrade. But if you alrd have the 970, just use it, dont need to go to 1070 until you really need super high setting on 1440p or full VR support | ||

Its not really urgent and im trying to get best bang for buck. The only games i play are lol and sc2 so obv nothing hi end. You're probably fine buying a 6600k for OC + fast RAM now, if you're interested in maxing out performance for those games and having a CPU that's a good choice for other workloads too. AMD is releasing a new CPU gen around late q3 to q4 this year which is expected to have a bit worse core performance than Intel's CPU's (so shouldn't be replacing the 6600k for sc2) but will hopefully make good 6-8 core CPU's more affordable. | ||

Got some question again : what's better - AMD FX 8350 - Intel i5-6500 ? Cause from what I read in benchmarking, they are roughly the same in term of performance (mb AMD a little better), but the fact that there's no integrated GPU just lower the marks a looooot. So I was wondering if it's a big deal having no integrated GPU ? I mean, what's the deal with integrated GPU anyway ? When you plan having a GPU, integrated GPU is totally useless no ? Even for putting 2-3 screens ? | ||

It can be handy if you're trying to exceed the 4 monitor limit of Nvidia cards or for diagnostic purposes when investigating graphic issues (e.g. plug something into IGPU instead of video card to rule out hardware problems). Ye ok ty. But I don't think i'll take it noetheless cause it came in a kit with a mobo, and the mobo just supports DDR3, and i'd like to get a DDR4 supported mobo. | ||

would be a value replacement or if there's a big reason to spend a bit more for a samsung or somthing? Its mostly just to hold windows for fast restarts and such. Doesn't need to be high performance, reliability and lifespan would be more important than performance/specs for me. Don't need the best, just the best value if that helps | ||

Don't need the best, just the best value if that helps I think Samsung 850 Evo is your best bet. They come in 250,500 and 1tb versions. However i dont know whats the difference in everyday performance between some first gen ssd and this one. | ||
