Best PC Build for 1200 dollars??

ok but why would i run low settings

 

Nice. But you better get that GPU running on first try, your MB doesn't support onboard graphics....

 

To run it at all, maybe?

 

i have 3 laptops and this is my school laptop so it doesn't really matter oops

 

it does.

 

I can't seem to find any connectors?

 

oo your right
weird, it says it has onboard graphics..
ill change out the mb on the list

edit: new list Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core, GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB 6GT OC, S340 Elite (Black) ATX Mid Tower - System Build - PCPartPicker

 

My laptop costed £600. I don't think it's anything special tbh.
I don't really know much about computers though, so good luck asking ME.

 

I spent over 1000£ on my computer, if you want details just ask. Also, make sure you take in to account that you need keyboard and mouse and monitor and cables, other wise you just have a box lol

 

This time you have a H170 Chipset. So it has only 16 PCIe lanes instead of 20, supports less USB 3 and less SATAe connections. But since you will probably stay with only one GPU, this should be enough. It doesn't support SLI anyway.

This also means you could take a smaller PSU. You will never use 650W.

BTW I found a 256 GB M.2 SSD with MLC toggle for the same price than the SATA SSD you have chosen. Just saying

 

AMERICAN MAN, AMERICAN!

^^

What are your opinions of this: Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz 6-Core, GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB GAMING X, S340 Elite (Black) ATX Mid Tower - System Build - PCPartPicker

 

That's a Haswell! Why step back? Also, nailed your budget. Also, X99... has only DMI 2.0 (see bottleneck-story). I'm not a fan of X99, it's hugely overrated. 8 lanes?!? WTF? Your previous build was cheaper AND better.

 

would probably be @ budget if I changed out the case to the original s340, change out the m.2 and the ram.

More cores and threads. This build won't be really used for a lot of gaming.

But I can keep upgrading if I wanted overkill. With a Z170, you stuck with a 6700k.

 

Wrong. Cannonlake will come out on LGA 1151, and NOT on 2011-3. Keep in mind X99 came out in 2014, the LGA 1151 chipsets are from 2015. That makes a huge difference. See the DMI and the available lanes. You can only have an advantage from X99 if you take a broadwell CPU, wich has 40 lanes directly to all PCIe (skipping the southbridge).

 

So a Z170 board would be better because of the new processors coming to that platform?

 

Aha, I wasn't aware of Cannonlake lol, thanks for the insight Frederic

 

I have a $550 build.

 

CPU clock is already arrived at dead end. According to Intel, it will take ages to get from 10nm (Cannonlake) to 7nm and then to 5nm architecture, because they will have to use new materials. Adding some cores. And that will be the dead end. There is no known material that could allow for mass production of smaller transistors.

*Glances at quantum computing*

 

7nm by year 2020?

 

So limited supply of processors made out of the new material
