Advise on gaming rig

[evilrion]

Hello Guys,

Currently have these in mind.
Please kindly advise if this rig is good enough for future gaming.

Intel i5-6600
Msi z170A krait gaming (LGA1151) Mainboard
G.Skill Ripjaws V 19200/2400MHZ 8GBx2
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD
W.D 1TB Blue 64MB
Samsung 24x SATA DVDRW
MSI GTX 980 4GB DDR5 Gaming Edition
Seasonic X-Series 750W 80+
Coller Master N400
Corsair H80i GT CPU Cooler

Hmmm...

i5-6500 more worth it than i5-6600
Dun need z170 mobo if you are not overclocking
For gaming RAM no need fancy one, and 8GB is enough
With all the savings here and there you can get a 980Ti or Fury X
For power supply is OK, but can consider Superflower Leadex 650W silver oso
Water cooling not really needed unless overclocking

That's about it from me I guess. Casing is a personal thing so I won't comment too much lol

Most SuperFlower Leadex PSU are currently OOS except for Leadex 650w Gold I think.

superflower psu better?

Seasonic X-Series 750W 80+ is highly rated.

there is no point of getting z170 if you going for a locked cpu.

Pretty good, the attractive part is the pricing compared to most other PSU

Alright,if not going to overclock.
Which mainboard + cpu or diy rig will you recommend given a budget of 2-2.5k?

like they say you can go for h170 pro gaming from asus and get the i5-6400 or i5-6500

your budget is quite big to get some pretty high end specs

get i7 6600 then no regrets

maybe this yr COD or BF5 will stun everyone with multi core op and legendary D12 enhancement finally come to life...

Edit: i7 6700

i7-6600?

Actually the money save on a non-oc mobo and non-k cpu + up to 2.5 k budget, TS can consider a m.2, add more rams, and a big 1440p monitor.

yup, who know future games may support multi core and go for i7-6700 instead of a i5 cpu?

Thanks for the advise.
Do you all have the whole sysyem build in mind?
