Hey guys! I´m planning on setting up a PC for gaming and just wanted to ask if the following setup is OK or if you have better suggestions: CPU: Intel Core i5-6600, 4x 3.30GHz, boxed Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K6 GPU: Sapphire Radeon R9 390 RAM: Crucial DIMM Kit 16GB, DDR4-2133 HDD: Seagate Desktop HDD 1TB, SATA 6Gb/s SSD: Samsung SSD 850 Evo 250GB, SATA Monitor: Dell Professional P2416D, 23.8" (2560x1440)cCa Case: Nanoxia Deep Silence 3, black Keyboard: Sharkoon Skiller Pro+ PSU: Enermax Platimax 850W The reason for the 850W PSU is that I whant to keep me the Crossfire Option open since I plan on using this setup for at least 5 years or so. But due to the higher resolution of the monitor sooner or later I will need a better GPU or Crossfire. I heard many negative things about Crossfire/SLI, but the ones who get it to work properly seem to have no regrets. I don´t necessarily plan on overclocking, but maybe I will give it a try if needed one day. The keyboard is not the best, but since I´m very happy with my Sharkoon mouse I thougt to just give them another try. I hope to have provided all necessary information; sorry for eventual mistakes, I´m not a native speakter. many thanks in advance
If you think you might overclock, then it would be a wise idea to invest in a CPU cooler. The Intel ones are fine for stock---nothing spectacular, but they do the job fine for the purpose. Do you have an OS? If not, factor that in.
The OS seems to be kind of a trouble in terms of installation. I have a windows 7 home enterprise disk and plan on installing this and then upgrade to win 10. for USB-installation a patcher would be needed, but as for the disk installation the information wasn´t distinct. Also is overclocking with a non-k CPU possible? There too I found different answers on the net.
You cannot raise multiplier so for overclocking K models are much better. I also would avoid TLC drives, like Samsung 850 Evo. Samsung already have two crap TLC models (840 and 840 Evo).
