Budget is not really a constraint as of now. Expectation is to browse, perform normal chores, transfer external HDD data to an internal 8TB HDD as quickly as possible.

You are saying that your budget is not limited and yet you use HDDs in the era of PCIe SSDs! For backup purposes HDDs are fine but if you want performance on the go, you will need to have a SSD as your boot drive. I need a budget (a certain amount of money that you'd think twice before spending on your build), then only I can suggest the best out of it.

It has all the features you want. Many tech sites recommend this board. Thanks a lot buddy. Please find the below list with which I guess the build can move forward :- 1) CPU -> Intel Core i7 6700K 3.40GHz 2) CPU Cooler -> Cooler Master Hyper 212X 3) Motherboard -> Gigabyte GA-Z170MX Gaming 5 4) SMPS Power Supply -> Seasonic M12II-750 EVO M12II Series 750W PSU 5) RAM -> Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16 GB) 3000 MHz 6) mATX Cabinet -> Cooler Master Silencio 352 7) Internal HDD -> Samsung 850 Pro 512GB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted April 18, 2017 Administrator Share Posted April 18, 2017 Looks good. Again, make sure you are not going for mATX case. I have heard good things about Corsair 200R, but it might be too simple for you. There are so many options to look at. Now about PSU, 750W is way too much. If you overclock your computer and also go for high powered graphics card, then you will require 500W PSU. One can run this computer on 350W PSU, but as you want to overclock then 500W will be fine for you. Just remember, the PSUs that come with case are total worthless crap, these cheap things neither have quality parts, nor any protections and are not made to run with expensive parts. By most I will recommend 550W or 650W, as 750W is way too much. Another thing, if you want, buy some good CM case fans, also, thermal paste, as the one that comes with the CPU cooler might not be the best I think.

Personally, i'd rather get seasonic X650 or even X550 which is a better tier PSU than M12. Newer hardware are more efficient in terms of power usage. So, unless he plan to do an extreme overclock then it's unnecessary to go with 750 W PSU. Here's my reference when choose a PSU: http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html Edit: I want to clarify that using 750 won't cause any problem. I was just thinking why not getting better PSU instead of bigger watt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol actually I have decided to opt for a mATX compatible motherboard (Gigabyte GA-Z170MX Gaming 5) @WALLONN7, so I guess then I can still keep the mATX cabinet ( Cooler Master Silencio 352) right??? Please give me your thoughts on the same. And thanks @DKT27 & @trufpal for the suggestions on the PSU part. Actually the Seasonic X550/X650 are a bit price-ier than the Seasonic M12II. But hey guys, you have more knowledge on this section than me. I want my Mobo/CPU/HDD/RAM/Other components to be safe that's all. Do let me know which PSU to go for And last but not the least, welcome back all NSaners, was quite worried yesterday when the site was Error-ing out.

Although there is no information about what was added, corrected or etc, but in the case of "revision", it is always good to acquire the revised one.

rudrax Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Why are you opting for 6th gen. intel core processor family while there already the 7th gen. are available? Why not even opt out for AMD Ryzen based configuration? Ryzens have been beating the crap out of intel, recently. @nsan3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had written about this earlier on this topic itself actually. And as far as AMD Ryzen is concerned, its just my personal choice to go ahead with Intel i7. Its like if we ask a photographer if Canon or Nikon is the best, he'll be having his preference. Same way when it comes to cars, ask someone if he thinks that Benz or BMW is the best. In reality both the options are good, but it boils down to one's individual preference. Its almost 20 years now since I have started using a PC, and from then till now I am an Intel person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you've noticed that I have added a PCIe x16 based SSD as boot drive which is insanely fast. The 8TB drive that you have, use that as external/backup drive fitting that to a HDD dock/case. There is no room for HDD in the era of SSD inside the machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
