Help on new pc

[HYHY123]

Hi all, will like to buy a new pc for some gaming. Probably getting aftershock..

Will like some advise on the following.

I5-6500 vs i7-6700 (205 bucks difference)
Gtx 960 vs gtx 970 (154 bucks difference)
120gb ssd for additional 85 bucks ( is Ssd worth getting ?)
8gb ram vs 16gb ram (additional 98 bucks)

Based on the better of the 2 configs above, the total price will be 2187, looking to reduce the price to about 1800- 2000.

Is i7-6700 with gtx 960 recommended or i5-6500 with gtx 970

Thanks in advance

Forget about Aftershock, DIY can give you 250GB SSD and GTX 980 Ti...

Btw, i7 is useless, better GPU is paramount. SSD is a very practical upgrade at improving system responsiveness.

Or get it fixed by 3rd-party system builder like fortran that can offer paid aftermarket support.

Just note that buying those from Lazada will save you a whopping $165. You should get the rest and fix them by fortran for best possible savings...
