¥ Microsoft Word ¥ Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hey HG, read the title Budget: 500-600 USD Brands: Preferably Intel + nvidia, but performance is everything. What do you plan to do with this build?: I will be playing csgo and other easy to run games, also a little school work. Is there a place you'd like to get your parts from: Amazon/Newegg. What parts (if any) do you have already that you don't need to upgrade?: NONE Do you plan to overclock?: Not really, I don't want to pay more for an overclock able mobo and cpu. Do you have an OS (e.g Windows) that you can use for this computer?: Yes -Ya Boi, Microsoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¥ Microsoft Word ¥ Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mzdkqk Went over by 60 bucks ;-; why would you use a non overclock able mobo with a 6600k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kv526 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) If this isn't too late, and you didn't mind seeing a second opinion. This computer will run Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on maximum settings at 1080p over 60 fps. This machine should last you a long time. 1. This build has a slower processor, however significantly cheaper than the i5-6600k. Also, the Kaby Lake processor line is not worth the money for the performance increase, so this build will stick with the immediate last-generation Skylake family. 2. This is a micro-atx build, this is the most common consumer desktop size. Running one of Intel's current-generation motherboard chipsets, the B150. 3. 8GB of memory is plenty for today's computing, and the Skylake architecture states that 2133MHz is the supported memory speed. I went with the lowest latency possible at 13ms. 4. HDDs are finally obsolete in every way to an SSD. The SSD will last longer, perform faster, and more reliably than a typical hard drive.

kv526 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) I would suggest an i5-6400. It's ~62% more expensive and ~21% faster (based on benchmarks). Modern applications will benefit from the multi-core setup. However, older applications that cannot utilize more than 1-2 cores may not run as well.
