    I pretty much have my next build planned out, but I want to see other people's creations with a budget of 1200 US dollars.

    My build must have roughly costed € 1.000,-, which is a bit less than USD 1.200,-. Maybe it costed even less. Without screen and peripherials ofc.

    Nanoxia Deep Silence 2
    beQuiet 530 W PSU
    MSI Z170-Pro (because what's the Point of a "Gaming" MB, beside looking good and costing more?!?)
    I5 6600K
    Corsair Hydro 280mm
    EVGA GTX 1060 SC
    SAMSUNG M.2 NVMe 256 GB SSD (TLC toggle)
    Samsung SSHD 1 GB
    ASUS BD-RW

    Oh forgot to say: If you have planned on building it within 6 months or so, wait for PCIe 4.0 and Coffee Lake (maybe even Cannonlake?). Hopefully, this will all come with a new MB Chipset that supports higher DMI Transfer rates.

    Nah, that won't happen since the x99 platform is quite new
    It's releasing within 6 months?

    I don't get how they place their priorities at Intel R&D. You could basically pump 100 or so GB/s into the chipset but this has all to go through the DMI bottleneck so RIP. Good thing the first PCIe is directly connected to the CPU.

    If I could I would rate my own post optimistic. Intel promises, you know...

    I have the crappiest Win10 tablet around and it still can run MC on low settings. How come you can't?
