Build The BEST $1000 Gaming PC September 2015 - GTX 970 / i5-6600K

2015-09-09
so it's time to give you guys a budget build for September 2015 and this is going to be a skylight build ladies and gentlemen welcome back to tech yes City this is brian coming back to you guys today with an interesting pc build this month I've been getting a lot of requests for skylake builds so I'm gonna be doing just that today however that being said I'm going to be putting a link in the description below for the Xeon Haswell build as well which honestly is better value for money in my opinion so I'll be putting the links for both these pcs in the description below though for what it's worth we'll be focusing on the skylight build today so let's get on with it so for the cpu we're going with the Intel i5 6600 K now this is a four core four threaded beast of a CPU it's also the latest and greatest out from Intel at the moment so not only that you'll be able to overclock this thing and you'll have the best IPC out there so this thing will give you a snappy desktop experience as well as play all those latest games that you need it to play and with dx12 around the corner as well the four core four thread debate isn't much to worry about now when overclockable sleeping you wouldn't be complete with a CPU cooler so for that we're going with a cooler master 212 Evo this thing is going to be able to keep this CPU under control it's going to be able to tame this hot beast and it's gonna be able to do a good job of that for $25 now for the motherboard we're going with the z170 from MSI this is the m3 now this thing comes loaded with everything that I would want from a motherboard on a z170 solution we've got good onboard audio we've also got a good anti C and a very solid v RM and the vrm has some solid heat sinks covering that so you'll be able to game 24/7 even overclocked knowing that nothing is going to go wrong now next up for the memory we've got 2 8 gigabyte sticks of ddr4 memory from g.skill this is the Ripjaws series now this comes a little bit over $100 though with a mail-in rebate or a promo code I think it is you can get it under $100 now it does command a premium over ddr3 though one good benefit about ddr4 is if you buy this memory today you'll be able to use it as a future-proof sort of memory for years to come so you'll be able to use it in your next build even though it's more expensive today now for disk drives we're going with two solutions today the first being a SSD from P&Y this is 240 gigabytes and it comes in at $70 that's right $70 for 240 units of SSD really good value for money and P&Y have a decent reputation in the hardware market so that's a good thing too now for the backup drive we're going with a Hitachi Deathstar and this thing honestly has been gaining reputation in the tech world for being one of the best hard drives in terms of value for money so good work from Hitachi now for the gravis card the most important part of the PC build and we're going with the GTX 970 from ZOTAC this thing comes in just a little bit over $300 and at this price range it is really good value for money you're gonna be playing any game at 1080p perfectly fine you'll even be able to play most titles at 60 FPS on 1440p so ZOTAC have you covered with a really good graphics card with the GTX 970 now for the case we're done with an interesting solution this is the animatics thorax now I've tried Animax cases in the past and they are really good they're lightweight so if you're carting them around you're not gonna get a hernia also you've got ample room inside to install all your components with these and you've got a lot of room for cable management and all that it just comes over $30.00 so it's really good value for money now for the power supply we're going with an EVGA 500 watt bronze rated power supply this thing comes in at $30 that's after a mail-in rebate there were $30 it is exceptional value for money you're getting a solid power supply and 500 watts is going to be ample fine for our build today so if you did want to step it up on the power supply which I'd always sort of recommend then you can get like a Coolermaster 650 watt gold raider power supply for around about $70 so I'll put the link in the description below for that too if you want to step it up on the power supply would you kind of give you more options in the future so we'll know this build comes in just a little bit over $1000 so if you count in those mail-in rebates and promo codes you can get this thing for under $1000 now the good thing about this it will be a really solid gaming PC though one thing I will stress is that if you do want to save money and you want to get the best value for money in my opinion then I'd be going with the house well 1231 v3 build now then you're gonna be saving around one hundred and twenty dollars you're also gonna happen hyper-threaded CPU so yeah you guys can do what you want but honestly if I was building a new PC I probably be going with the Haswell 1231 v3 build just because it is really good value for money so links in the description below and if you like this video then please give it a big thumbs up and if you have any questions or comments about today's
