Final Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 6600k is still really good, the 6700k is just more threads afaik. Slight difference in clock speeds and CACHE sizes, no additional threads due to no hyper threading like any i5. Who knows, that cache can be helpful. We EU guys gotta remember that we get taxed out of the asshole for higher valued items like this with VAT and all that shit.

Yeah, I remember VAT being a nightmare.
Solution Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Very solid setup, especially for that price. Well balanced build.
Xerifos Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Everything is nice except for the 970, could've been a 1070 since they're in the same price class, but still it's a sweet setup. Did you overclock your CPU?

Did you overclock your CPU? I got the h100i v2 and the 970 together for $220. Overclocking soon, just have been busy setting up all my programs, IDEs, projects, games, etc. again.

Alright let me know how far you can get I got a Noctua F90 or something also with a i7 6700K got to 4.7GHz.
Eliot Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Solid build. If you don't play any games that require a better GPU and assuming you do stuff at 1080p very nice. Personally I use a gtx 1070 and a 144hz 1440p monitor and it is amazing. 8/10
