Since you are using for normal usage, i5 will do. save money if you can. As for SSD, SATA will do the job just fine. What I can recommend is buy Samsung 850 Evo SSD. There's a reason why Samsung SSD a bit expensive compared to others. Owned Samsung 840 Evo SSD on laptop and Samsung 840 Eco SSD on PC and both performed well. The speed is fast enough and just nice. Afraid that if you using faster SSD, your brain can't keep up with the speed and later you become blur what to do since everything so fast. brows.gif

CORE I5 6600 (4C/4T) RM 928
CORE I5 6600K (4C/4T) RM 991
CORE I7 6700 (4C/8T) RM 1272
CORE I7 6700K (4C/8T) RM 1431

IMO, 6600k and 6700k with differences of less than RM500 is not much since I am going to use it for many years. Not to mention I am willing to invest around RM400 for a cooler.

Thus for long run + expensive cooler, i7 seems the way to go...  cool2.gif
You have two option:
1) You can buy highest spec you can afford and stick with it for 5+ years.
2) Buy according to your requirement now and save the money for future upgrade later.

I guess you are no 1 type. Since you have the budget, you should know what to buy. Just don't forget to balance between MOBO, RAM, GPU and PSU.

Note that futureproofing is not throwing lots of money and expecting it to stick for years:



Conversely you don't buy cheap hardware in a sense that you can always upgrade later - that is not futureproof as well.  icon_idea.gif

Essentially the point of this video is to buy the hardware you need to fit the needs now, not at a later time.  icon_idea.gif
An analogy would be something like this:

Imagine you want to buy a fast car - would you rather

1. Buy a fast car at stock, or

2. Buy a slower one, and upgrade them with turbos and other mods down the road?
Naturally you won't choose option 2 because it just not make sense - if you want a fast car now why would you buy a slower one and upgrade it in the future?  icon_idea.gif

it's not about futureproofing. it's rather more on desire. lot's of people buy stuff for desire not thinking about futureproofing. I believe satisfaction is above anything. Some people want the highest spec even they don't need it. It just they feel the satisfaction of owning it. you can use the video as guidance but doesn't mean you have to follow it exactly. you'll never know what will happen in the future.

btw, you can't compare car with pc. it's totally different. adding turbo or mods is different thing. else if you mention on changing with new engine sound more relevant.

seriously, u need to specify what application will u be using. list it down. it would help much to determine the suitable setup for your need. be specific. don't just say normal use.
