EDIT: Made an updated list

Also new best cheap case because who spends 100 quids on a case?

i dont think that board would do too well with overclocking. if he's not going to overclock he could get that board and then might as well swap the 6600k for a normal 6600, otherwise: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/XFsGcc

also i kept the ram at a single 8gb stick w/ no heat sink bc then he'll have room to more easily upgrade to 16gb in the future + it's $10 cheaper, and lets be honest who really overclocks ram to the point where a heat sink is necessary if they overclock their ram at all. especially on ddr4 running 1.35v

What are you even basing this on? It'll do fine

[Zloff]

everywhere i've read, you can't oc a cpu on an h170 board like you can with a z170

[espio100]

k

I chose 2x4 because dual channal and HyperX are awesome sticks.
Also they look coolio. I dont even oc anything in my system beside the boost clock from my cpu and I have HyperX.

[Bisjac]

need (z)170
goes side by side with (k) cpus

need that match up to do any overclocking.

p sure that H boards aren't designed for overclocking

would this be good as a budget setup? (the pc budget is 520 at the dead max, no r9 480 or gtx 1060+) the thread I made went quiet without any opinions and I'd really like some

flfpsdlghdh this hurts meeeee
I see 2 things wrong with this build.
- 16GB of ram in a budget build. Unless you're gonna be using RAM intensive software, go with 8GB.
- DDR3 1333 is the max frequency supported on your mobo. 1333 is really slow by today's standards, 1600 is like minimum I'd say.

The only thing I can see wrong is that you have 16GB of ram in a budget build. Unless you plan to be using RAM intensive software, just go with 8GB, which will save you like $20.

I do plan on using software that'll be more RAM intensive like editing video and the like. Plus I won't have to upgrade it in the future if I get it now

Yes, but your motherboard only supports 1333mhz ram, which is pretty slow. Get a motherboard that'll support like 1600 or 1866mhz, it'll be so much better.

I think it should be fine with me but I'll take a look into it

[Willco2]

It turns out im wrong, I looked at ASUS' site for the motherboard and it supports 1600mhz as its max ram frequency.
