Thanks for taking a look and offering any thoughts.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
-Primary use is gaming. Fallout 4, Battlefront, GTA V type games as well as Sims. Secondary is Lightroom.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
-Let's say $1500 is my limit for the parts discussed below.
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
-US, CA $50 in gas and a day off to get to a microcenter.
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need.
-CPU, Motherboard, RAM, Cooler and Win10. Large cap HDD if there's room in the budget.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
-Reusing case (FT-02), drives (Samsung SSDs, 240pro for the OS. office and lightroom with cat on the HDD, 850 TB and an old 120), 2 GB WD Black HDD, EVGA 680SC+ and seasonic 860.
6) Will you be overclocking?
-Mild OC attempt but amount depends on heat. Office is small and will see how heat goes.
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
-Current monitor is 1920x1200 with the plan of buying a 4k monitor and SLI 980ti level cards around January (not in this budget obviously) when I change my desk around.
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
-Within 3 weeks.
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.
-Lots of USB and Sata. Power and heat savings.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
-Yes 7, but moving to 10 with the hopes of good 4k support. That's part of the budget.
Here's the plan:
6700k
Asus Max VIII Hero
Corsair 4x8 DDR4 3000 C15
Noctua D15
Win10 Pro
Anyone see any problems for a 2-4 year build while moving to 4k gaming?
Thanks for any advice.
