forgot to mention that i haven't bought anything else yet, is there anything i can improve?

[Insert Name Here²]

Well it'll be hard for me to figure out where you can improve, you haven't really specified your budget and your pc list doesn't have any prices on it which doesn't really help lol

Samsung 850. Its basically the standard for SSDs currently. But I don't think it will really solve your slow computer issue. What exactly is slow? General usage or games? Is it just when you say, copy and paste files? Install things? These differences can really mean the world when given such a broad statement.
Sounds very cool! I'll definitely start saving for one, thank you. Do you have any recommendations, or one's you've had good experiences with?

I actually messed with the drivers and reverted to an old version and now it works just fine :p! Thanks for the recommendation though!

I have a budget of $500 but I can stretch past it a little bit and I'm unsure of why you cant see any prices.

Have a person on Steam looking for a good PC setup.
They want something that can run games like Battlefield 1, Overwatch, TF2 (and other source engine games), etc. The PC also needs to come with some sort of wireless adapter, a keyboard, a mouse, a monitor, and speakers (please remove the speakers if the monitor has them built in). The max budget for everything is $1000.
Can anyone draw up a good build for this?

Do they have any hardware that they can transfer over, any at all? Even something like a keyboard & mouse? Or do they really need everything from scratch.

are you looking for high-class peripherals? do you want a "gaming" mouse with a mechanical keyboard? are you fine with cheap 60hz monitors with questionable color quality? do you want a case that's 999m^3, but open to expansion, or do you just want a giant gamecube-sized computer?

Do they have a copy of windows that they're okay with transfering over to their new computer? Are they okay with using their current harddrive? Do they want an optical drive? Do they have some sort of unjustifiable rage towards nvidia/amd/intel and will only take a certain brand of videocard/processor?

[Ipquarx]

Well, I put together an initial list. It assumes you don't have to buy headphones, an optical drive, a cpu cooler, and can transfer over their copy of windows.

The ram is at 665 mhz, that may be the culprit because that is insanely slow for ram

Its dual channel. Multiply it by two.

You already have the radeons correct?

I'm not sure how hard you really want this to be. Any overclocking in the forseeable future? This build here has a z170 and an i3, but it allows you to upgrade to the i5 6600k for overclockability. I also noticed your lack of storage so I'm assuming you don't really want a lot of space/already have a hard drive? Again, not really sure what you're expecting from this system. I've kept the case despite every bone in my body saying no, in the end of the day it is personal preference after all.

Alternatively, here's a build the utilizes your budget better without the z170 chipset.

They're basically the same. Just ask yourself what you really want from this. Do you want one to upgrade later or something you'll be happy without touching longer?
