hi guys.. planning on going on skylake..

my plan is..

any small itx case that can fit this:

2 hdd & 1 ssd

what i need is..

cpu - I5 6400
motherboard - any mobo that support DDR4
psu - any good psu (prefer modular) (currently using seasonic x760 80plus gold) should change or not? this psu already 5 years.. but still running well hmm.gif
graphic card - any card
ram - 8x8 DDR4

mostly on heavy browsing,multitask and gaming.

mostly csgo and latest games such as tom clancy division..(can accept medium setting)

running on 1980x1080 full hd

budget 2.5k more cheap more good.( if i should stick on current psu.. then 2.5k not include psu) biggrin.gif

thx.

How are you going to get a 8X8GB of DDR4 whereby the RAM slots on any Skylake motherboard tops at 4 slots ?

there are plenty of itx casing available. but while some would accept bitfenix prodigy as small, some wouldn't. form factor also has a few varieties; cube? plain old tower? horizontal? with riser card or not (different height)?

Yes we know ITX got 2 RAM slots, but you wrote 8 x 8GB, which eventually carries the meaning of 8 units of 8GB RAM, 64GB RAM in total doh.gif

It should be 2 x 8GB.

Take a look at Casing thread to get some idea which SFF you plan to use.
