Hi. I'm from Spain so sorry if I use weird expressions, English is not my first language.
My current computer needs an update and here is what I planned
Components to mantain:
Graphic Card GTX 770 2GB (I'll probably change it next year)
PSU Corsair TX650
SSD Crucial M4 128GB
Some HDD
I plan to buy this:
CPU i5 6600k
Cooler (AIR) Noctua NH-U14s
Motherboard: Asus ROG VIII Ranger | Asus ROG VIII Hero | Asus Z170-A
RAM GSkill 2x8GB speeds 2666-2800-3000
Now the doubts
CPU
This machine is mainly for gaming, said that, I don't think an i7 makes sense.
And please, do not recommend and 4690k or similar. I want the new skylake+ddr4
Motherboard:
I plan to OC, as much as the air cooler can support.
Can't find reviews of the Ranger. How does it compare to the Hero?
I can see in the pics that the Hero has a lot more "stuff" around the cpu area. Can that "stuff" affect the overclocking potential or stability?
Do you think the extra 30-40€ make sense.
Asus Z170-A is another option, but with worse onboard sound.
Colour scheme doesn't matter.
All I wan't in the board is 4 internal usb3.0, decent onboard audio, at least 1 m.2 slot, many pwm fan headers.
RAM
What speed do you think is the best?
Brand? Now I have GSkill and no problems.
Well,that's all.
I hope you can help me to clarify my ideas.
Thanks.
