initially... it was a gigabyte g1 gaming, then qoo10 had a 60$ + asus instore 75$ discount, end up the card was 400. i think it was quite a steal though that's why i bought it! haha

Maybe. At least get the latest gen. Heck maybe your Skylake might be cheaper.

The 1060 will be very pressed in games like witcher 3 on a 1080p ultra setting. I know because I own one before. u need to disable nvidia hair works.

thanks for the tip! anyway for the kabylake. i heard it's only for the K series. which means i'll have to get an Z board eventually? i don't plan to do OC. what do you guys suggest?

 

[morkutao]

am taking a look now in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaby_Lake, it's the i5 7500 right?
seems like 0.2ghz faster in comparison.

What u mean by only for k series. The non overclocked versions will still be released.

lol not really. since there is non k chip as well.

just a h270 board. maybe wait for a little while and see if there is a h210 or b250 board and just get those board.

sorry, my mistake. haha i think what the distro meant was he's only bringing in K series.

so it'll be like i5 7500 + gigabyte ga b250m-d3h?

read some release news and states that it's compatible with 1151 sockets. but any major problems with new chipset in an older version board?

You only need a BIOS update containing a whitelist of the new CPUs. Some motherboards require CPU (6000 series in this case) & RAM to update BIOS, some can do it with just a power supply.

So you may need a shop's assistance to preinstall the new BIOS for you.

Nope. You just lose out on the newer features on the newer mobo. Not like the newer features you will use also.
