If you aren't going for heavy oc on CPU and RAM, then sub-RM 600+/- with 6 power phases design is enough, if you are going to oc to the limit as well as getting a high frequency RAM (> 2133MHz), get those sub-RM 750 and above with 8/10 power phases design.

Just minor changes, it won't affect the build much.

actually i dont know which one to pick, i5 6600k setup or i7 6700 non k with a cheap board.

What makes you think of getting an oc setup?

If your workload is low and mainly on gaming, then get the i7 6700 with B150 board, oc won't give you significant performance improvements, while the i7 which is having 4 extra threads is more future proof and is able to give the i5 a big slap when the game is utilizing the hyperthreading technology

Don't forget, you need to spend extra money on a decent CPU cooler too if you go for 6600K (it doesn't come with any cooler), not to mention you need to spend time and have patience to test the oc settings too so your PC won't crash during gaming/operation.

no lah was thinking about future proofing, like the i5 2500k still packs a punch nowadays after like 5 years. I usually just game on my pc though, so i think i'll get the i7 6700 with b150. Is the igpu enough for dota 2? Because i wanna wait for the new gpus to release then only i'll buy one. thanks

Skylake iGPU (HD 530) is as strong as a GT740/R7 250 so you should be able to run it at medium settings at decent frame rate (1080p).

My friend is buying his very first gaming desktop, need advice

Can you be more specific about "Multitasking"? Like, video editing/rendering..or just opening multiple tabs?

Using PS and some video editing programme

If your budget is tight and want to have a fast drive, go for Seagate Barracuda, the same price point's WD Blue is slower (7200 vs 5400 RPM).

i7 all rm1k+

Have cheaper ones also check garage sales section of lowyat

And depends on your needs if you're a gamer getting another GTX 970 would be much more beneficial to games as compared to an i7
