And there always this. Not my case tho...not ever probably.
The Z1 Zalman is cheap. However i have a love affair with the be!quite 600 window. Just look at the beauty!
Please don't get any Zalman case. I built a PC for my gf in Z9 and was very dissappointed in the quality of these cases. Get any SilentiumPC case, even RG1 is much better than Z1 Zalman and the price is very similar.

I finally saved some money and it is time to say goodbye to my old computer. The Phenom X4 840 has served me well.
About one month ago i have purchased the Samsung S24E370D monitor with FreeSync . I was always set on amd . Cuz their cheaper. However i don't ever wanna look at a amd cpu again. I had enough.

What i need: 3 years future proof gaming pc for 1080p .
I have a 1080p smart TV,that still delivers great image & and now a new freesync 1080p monitor.

The list of components i consider buying in the next days or weeks (i' not in a hurry)
Motherboard MSI H170 GAMING M3 Socket 1151 . Because the msi mobo B150 M3 is 10$ cheaper The only difference on paper is PnP and BIOS 128 Mb Flash ROM. Do i need these things. Not really. But its only 10$ for a higher cipset. I read many reviews and comparisons between LAN Killer E2400 vs Intel i219-v. I chose Killer.
http://goo.gl/RrVwBF
CPU Intel Skylake i5 6600k . Because my cousin just got the i5 6500 3,2 . I get to pay 17$ more for the 6600k , and i will gladly do so.
RAM Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 CL16 2400 MHz Vengeance LPX . Because 8 gb for me is enough but 16 is cheap even for my budget so why not. 32 is absolutely too much.
CPU Cooling be quiet! Shadow Rock 2 . I look at this as an overkill. I do not intend to OC the cpu. But i want a very quite PC. A cheaper cooling would do.
Case Be quiet! Silent Base 600 Window MiddleTower http://goo.gl/Ji5O6E or Corsair Carbide Quiet 400Q http://goo.gl/c2LFUf
PSU Corsair RMi Series RM750i 750W, 80 PLUS Gold . I am a bit afraid that this might be a bit overkill and there many reviews telling the corsairs tend to have coil noise. I want gold cert and i think i need 700W but i could go with something cheaper.
For now i will postpone buying a ssd. I think the ssd is a some how a trifle. But i was considering the Intel 535 Series, 240GB, 2.5'', SATA III
Graphics card: not out yet. The reason why i haven't bought my pc yet. And also i wanna buy the card and test it first for 1 week or more on this pc to see with my own eyes just how much of a bottleneck for cpu can be. I am convinced 99% i need the AMD Asus Strix RX 480 . Not only that its amd, but it's budget....and i just fell in love with it the Polaris 10 XT. I have to have this card!

Note: I do not intend to overclock this pc what so ever! It has to be dead silent. Capable of running 1080p now and in the future of 2-3 years with high-medium settings.

Give me your impressions . Tell me what i need to get (to improve). My budget right now is 1500$. It's impossible for me to go over this budget.
I also feel that 1500$ is a bit to much considering i don't need more than 1080p and i don't need crazy performance. I am the type of person that runs the operating system as stripped to the bone as possible and when in game i shut down all other app's just to get best performance without stressing my pc .
this is what i would build! get the h170 and you are golden! :) this system will easily handle 1080p for the next 3 years and maybe more, if the 480 gains performance through driver updates and dx12/vulkan games.

Aaaa another Phenom brother :D yes...i know ,right ?! 3years +....let's face it. Games are asking for more than 1080 now a days. In 3 years 1080 will be like 1024x780 :))

Haha, yeah, it's a really rare pokemon, but the catch is that when you catch it, you can't transfer it anymore xD it's going to be 8 years now, a fiance in fact. We are getting married next year :p

Who are you talking to????
Might be wrong thread.

yeap, beside the fact that the asus rog strix looks amazing, the sapphire from the numbers and benchmarks is very impressive, second close by the msi. considering the noise and low performance the asus is behind.
The Sapphire has "black diamond chokes" for lower coil noise (if any) and some say it has nothing to do with it the noise; diamond chokes are just to improve core/ram voltage control . At 1,342 MHz the Sapphire is the highest .The noise level is unknown

You really need to stop swimming in the minutia and make a choice already... :)
I am still swimming, cuz there's no fish yet to catch. These graphics cards are not out yet. I keep refreshing the online stores pages and gathering as much intel as i can. And the more i read, the more i see the beauty that gtx 1060 is.
But never fear,AMD will provide! One year from now on, the rx 480 will swim in a sea of vulkan optimized games !

yeah its overkill u can save a bit more with the evga ... BUUUUT i just realize u r from romania :v

So no cheap EVGA G2 :(

Right now 550w or 650w should be the sweet spot for 1 GPU

Best regards

Good reply @NeDix! Thing is i think i am good with CX 600 for now. Before the psu i have other things to buy. Been trying to sell my current pc for some time. Nobody wants it. Will try to sell it for parts, but it might be a mistake. it's how much money you get in the quantity of time. If i would sell the pc now ,i can use the money cuz i have the entire sum. However getting little bit in the course of 2 years, is absolutely useless. Not only with every month that passes the parts lose more & more value, i need all of the money now ,not in 2 years. If i sell the graphics card now for 20$ and the ram six months from now on, and so on...it's all useless.
So i figured i could put money in it,instead of selling it. Found a HD 5970 at not a very expensive price. A better gpu is all i need to put new life in this thing.

Seriously tho
Threads like these are incredibly useful.
One takes a long time to gather a sum of money, and does not want to blow it all away randomly. Asking people for advice is great. Some are very king and patience, and help so much.
For me this thread was a huge eye-opener. I understood that :
i do very much need a ssd.
asus strix rx 480 is not the way to go
be! quite is very good and always will be
and very important , don't buy a quad core when you already have one. 8 core is the only option. i7 or maybe ,in the near future, Zen.

I will keep posting updates, when that cards do get released. Witch is absolutely ridiculous. Amazon is only selling the LAST 17 msi cards (why there not making more no ideea), asus is yet delayed again for 2 september (but who cares about that) and Sapphire is absolutely nowhere in sight
