SetsulIt's fine, contrary to popular belief overclocking isn't free. It costs money and a lot of time/effort.

There's no reason to go 20% over budget if you don't have to. When radeon said "a wide range of games" I thought he meant AAA titles and for that the 390 made sense. For TF2 and CS:GO it's total overkill, like I said. If Overwatch is the only other game you'll be playing a 285=380 should be plenty.

Here we go, within budget, including monitor:

SetsulFor TF2 and CS:GO on 1024x768 the 390 is definitely overkill, I can't say anything about overwatch yet, but on low settings I doubt you'll need that much power to get 144fps.

For TF2 and CS:GO you should consider overclocking though. Would overclocking be an option for you?

What's your total budget, including the monitor? I didn't max out the builds so some money would be left for a monitor.

I'll adjust them (and narrow it down to one build) based on your answers.

overclocking is spooky :( also my total budget is 1k but i already made a build with ur skylake build that only goes 200 over

ComangliafloeyComangliafloeyTHANK YOU HOLY SHITE

but which of both builds is better though, im planning to play tf2 on 1024x768 with a maxfps config and to play csgo on same res, also id like to get fairly good fps in both (200,300) i dont plan on streaming and other games i wanna play is OVERWATCH. thats it. thank you :>

both builds should perform basically the same in every game, and I'd give a VERY small edge to the skylake build.
do you think they can run overwatch when it comes out? i know theres no way of saying yet but

I'd be surprised if that PC couldn't handle almost any game at 60+ FPS on medium settings. I'd assume on Low Settings overwatch should be an easy 140+FPS for either build, but I have no way to 100% confirm that.

-edit-
assuming 1080p. 1440p / 2160p I have no idea.

im prob gonna have overwatch on low so thank you!

SetsulMy eyes are twitching.

Oh god you edited your post, it's even worse now.
Please stop.
SetsulJust don't get the 212 (Evo) since it's fairly loud.Why are you doing this to me?
And then you get thermal paste for 10$. WHY?!
Let me summarize this:
-You added an aftermarket cooler even though none was needed.
-You picked a loud one so it won't even be quieter than the Intel stock cooler.
-And then you decided to get thermal paste, which will reduce temps by 2°C at best, which you don't need on a locked CPU anyway and makes absolutely no sense because getting a 35$ will do more than twice that while being quieter.

You say he doesn't plan on using Crossfire so you went ahead and picked a Z170 motherboard without proper SLI/Crossfire support. Let me remind you, what the two main reasons for getting a Z170 mobo are:
-overclocking support
-SLI/Crossfire support
He will get neither one and doesn't need them either. So why Z170 ffs?!

Then there's the RAM. Going from 16GB to 8GB should save him about half the price, 50$. Except you picked the second most expensive kit so he'd only save 8$. But hey, it's CL14 instead of CL15. He doesn't need those 50$ CL15, or 60$ CL13 or 70$ CL12, no, paying 92$ for CL14 is the correct way. Great thinking there.

Case is barely worth talking about, I still don't see the need for full ATX.

But the PSU, oh the PSU. I said a 100$ 750W PSU was overkill, so you chose a 650W PSU, which you yourself admitted is still overkill, for 106$.

Now I was fairly close to an aneurysm when you picked 750/650W PSUs for a <350W build. But then you took a look at the 380, which is woefully inadequate for getting 144fps in "a wide range of games" unless you want to get that 90s-no-aliasing-and-minecraft-textures feel, and replaced it with a 370. A 650W PSU for a 265W build.

I will come up with a better build once my blood pressure is back to normal.

#1
Here we go, two baseline builds, one Skylake, one Haswell, and there's still a lot of money left.
If you want overclocking no problem (although I don't think it's worth it).
If you want a 980 no problem either. I didn't put it in there right away because I don't know if it would make sense. I just need to know what settings in which games he's going for to determine how much GPU power you need to get 144fps.
The XL2411Z is my default recommendation. I'm not sure why yttrium calls it outdated then recommends the VG248QE which is older, worse and has less features, and the XL2420Z which is the same age and it's most notable feature over the XL2411Z is a non-wireless remote for the OSD.

Without further ado:
Skylake:
