For a third party. Existing build is a Nehalem i7 (can't remember exact one) at stock (never figured out how to OC it, and some slots on the mobo are failing) with a 6870. Looking to order ASAP.
No real budget but is somewhat price conscious. Already cut down a lot of stuff from the initial build (1200w Corsair PSU, Asus z170 Maximus Hero, GTX 980, etc.).
Gaming focused build with maybe a mild overclock (although it is likely the guy won't ever OC). Plan is a graphics card and maybe a display upgrade or addition down the line (1-3 years, or when it becomes an issue). Not interested in multi-gpu.
Plan is to at least keep the platform as a whole for as long as possible.
Everything will be ordered from Newegg (tax and logistics reasons) except the last 3 items.
CPU - Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor - $360
Heatsink - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - $31
Motherboard - Asus Z170 PRO GAMING ATX - $163
Memory - Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 - $100)
Storage -
Sandisk Extreme Pro 480GB - $180 (SSD: Games, applications, OS)
Toshiba PH3300U 3TB - $93 (HDD: For storage, eg videos, documents, etc.) Will be supplemented with external backup for important data.
Graphics - EVGA 04G-P4-3975-KR GeForce GTX 970 SSC ACX 2.0+ - $330 - $30 rebate
PSU - EVGA Supernova G2 750w - $125 - $20 rebate
Monitor - AOC G2460PG 144hHz 24inch G-Sync Monitor - $400
Case - Nanoxia Deep Silence 1 ATX Mid Tower (White) (Ordering from Nanoxia). Desk won't fit wider case such as the Define R5. Currently fits an Antec 1200.
OS - Win 7 ultimate (retail license) or upgrading to win 10 pro using the license.
Optical - Maybe some blu ray drive. external? or internal?
