Just sharing my planned build:
i5-6600K
Gigabyte GA-Z170N-Gaming5
2x 8GB DDR4
Samsung EVO 850 500GB M.2
Silverstone SX500-LG
Silverstone SG13

Re-using:
MSI GTX760
Corsair H60
HDD etc

I think within $2000 if everything new too. Can consider and modify from there

you reuse gpu but for TS case I think better to get new gpu

Yeah, so probably can drop the M.2 SSD to get standard 250GB SATA SSD and channel the funds to GPU.

MB can consider AsRock I guess. And if no need K-series, i5-6500 + AsRock H170 ITX. TS can consider

hello - just sharing my recent build; i think you might need to bump your budget up a little if u are looking to brand new for all the components, as it will likely cross 2k for a 1440p High Settings setup

As a high level reference - my CPU with OS alone is 2k, excl. the monitor; hope this helps and good luck !

Processor
i5 6500
Mainboard
MSI B150I Gaming Pro AC
Graphics Card
PowerColor R9 Nano 4GB
Memory
Kingston 8GB DDR4 2133mhz
Display
BenQ XL2730Z
Storage
480GB Crucial BX100 SSD
Optical Storage
NA
Casing
Corsair 380T
PSU
Silverstone SFX 600W GOLD
Audio

Hey guys!

Thanks for all the comments and recommendations.

How about if I can up my budget to $2.5k?

I don't need colour theme, led lights, overclock. But I do like a mITX case with side panel window so I can see through.

As I won't be getting it so fast, maybe like three weeks later.

 

[MoneyFace =p]

With $2.5K, GTX 980 Ti build will not be an issue.

any particular case in mine? cause some case got restriction, especially for mAtx/Itx form factor unless you are going for atx case, than you would not need to restrict yourself to a mAtx board which is normally a bit more exp.

 

[MoneyFace =p]

Do you need WiFi btw?

I'm actually thinking either bitfenix prodigy or corsair 250d.

Do you need WiFi btw?

I don't need. I will be use LAN.

yeah. But now not much promo..

 

[mwkong]

Hi guys, sorry for my fickle-minded!

What if change my requirements to mid-high settings for gaming instead?

Can $2K get everything I need including monitor? If not, I think $2.2K is the best I can fork out.

Monitor wise I'm looking at Dell U2715H.

Thanks!
