Obligatory sticky answers:
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Games
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$650-700 or so
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible. US
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc.
Motherboard/Processor/Memory/CPU Cooler.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Case: Ncase M1
PSU: Silverstone 450W SFX PSU.
Storage: 1TB BX100, 750GB 840 EVO
Video: GTX 970, forget the particular type.
6) Will you be overclocking? Yes, some.
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it? 23" 1080p
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Next few days
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video (as a backup or main GPU)? UEFI? etc.
USB 3.1 Gen 2 would be nice but not strictly required.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Yes, have a Win 10 64-bit license I can use. (free upgrade's very likely going to go bye-bye)
Only other comment is that anything Asus is not going to happen, not going to buy anything from them again if I can help it, their support department SUCKS.
Here's what i'm looking at so far:
Motherboard: MSI Mini ITX Z170I GAMING PRO AC (really don't need the wireless though, may yank the card out for use elsewhere)
Processor: i5-6600K
Memory: 2x8Gig DDR4 2400
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D9L (space limitations, reviews look decent and should fit in the case / not block memory)
