If you plan to get a more decent PSU, drop the SSD and upgrade the PSU to Seasonic M12II EVO 620W at RM 409.

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  brows.gif

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. biggrin.gif thanks

Is the fsp hexa 550w enough for an oc 6600k build with a gtx 970?

BTW is getting an unlocked i7 6700 worth it? Is the performance gains good compared to the locked one? Since the 6700 non k runs at 3.4ghz stock instead of the 4 ghz on the k version.

What game you are planning to play? I am asking this because once you fit a Skylake i5 in your budget then you will have to sacrifice on the GPU part, if the game you intend to play isn't CPU demanding then go for i3 build.

And you don't have any hardware to reuse, does this include monitor? If yes then Skylake i5 build is not possible  sweat.gif

how if i change it to haswell i5? erm this is for rig only. I'm asking this on behalf of my friend. He plays games like guild wars 2 and archeage, and some AAA games.

Over budget a bit, hope your friend is ok with this. I am using the lowest end mobo already, it is very hard to squeeze in i5 + GTX960 for gaming purpose under 2.5k now.
