Why not get i6700k?
How about another ssd? Your 950pro can use for os while another ssd for games
Max out rams to 64gb since you use a lot of tabs or you can try sourcing for 32gb ddr4 stick x 4

Z170 Mobo, H115i Cooler, 1200W PSU and just a 6700 processor?????? You say you are not playing any high end gaming but 1080 SLI?? If you wanted a pc which is super solid and not lag, you could have saved yourself $$$. 6700+H170+1080+650W PSU+SSD+16gb ram is all you need. This is overkill but hey, its your build so enjoy! However, your CPU can't be overclocked so you cpu cooler and power supply and motherboard is abit of a premium + waste

Hmm, thanks for the opinion. I m not really a MAC guy, i prefer windows interface, like files xfering.

Hi guys, let me clarify b4 you just whack a post without even reading. I ONLY pay a tiny deposit, while waiting for the GPU, so if any tech-savy guy or expert could give an advice, that could be a big help to me.

This is the my first DIY computer and i would be using until the computer stop breathing, that y i willing to buy.

Thanks to those who gave me advice with explanation, much appreciated for the help.

Hi! once again, thanks! But i will be using at least 2 monitor cause i do a lot of comparing, is it still okay to use 1 gpu? My concept is to use 3 monitor. That is y i go for SLI, wanted to go for 3x GPU, but the staff told me for 1080, '2' is enough.
