    So I've spent the last week doing research on parts for a custom gaming PC I wanted to build, and came down to the following parts. Yes, it's my first build, so I may even have parts on here that aren't good or won't even work with the whole set up. Please leave feedback! I'm not a hardcore gamer, but I would like to play games on maximum settings with little to no lag.

    wouldnt go for a 970, better off getting a 1070 or a 1080 if its in the budget.

    Why ddr3 memory with skylake and a ddr4 mobo? Quite sure it's not even compatitble.
    If you can afford a gtx 1070, I would go for it!

    Is i7 not the latest? What makes the i5 6600k better?

    Would you suggest going with a ddr3 memory and ddr3 mobo or ddr4 memory and mobo?

    I have an i7 and a gtx 1080 gaming series gpu.
    They work brilliantly.

    I was talking abut the gpu, not the cpu.


    &&&
    Definitely the ddr4.

    i5 is a lower tier chip but you'd be better spending ur money on a better gpu

    With that liquid Cooler you should get close to a 4ghz overclock

    why ddr4? It doesn't make a noticeable difference
