Which upgrades?
Modular psu are just psu with removable cables right? I have no issue with cables, I may just tape them somewhere in the case or something..
When are you buying the new components (cpu, mobo etc)

As soon as Skylake drops prices, tom in the shout box said Kaby Lake was just released so I should wait for the price drop of Skylake soonWhen are you buying the new components (cpu, mobo etc)
It's true, not even 1150 cpu's price dropped much or if i look for i5 4460, it's same price like i5 6500 (amazon). Reason could be that they haven't increased the peformance a lot from 1150 to 1151 or they go easily out of stock and have less of them or no competition so more money.Skylake won't drop significantly in price when Kaby is released. Intel cpus never have a significant drop in price.
Thanks for the info... I was just thinking, everyone will actually try to get Skylake now because it's price drop.. And Kaby don't really making a difference..Skylake won't drop significantly in price when Kaby is released. Intel cpus never have a significant drop in price.

Anyway, I just learned there are loads of chipset apparently, realized every brand names the board with a chipset like z170
What should I know about this?
What are those Q110 and Q170? Are they designed for companies or something?Feature sets really. On the 1151 socket
Z170= High End.
H170=Mid range.
H110=low end.

Z170 for example is the only chipset that officially supports overclocking with a K series processor. Unofficially some of the H170 support overclocking, but via BCLK rather than multiplier and is mainly aimed at non-k chips as BCLK overclocking has some downsides compared to using the multiplier.
Z270 & H270 are launching with Kaby and are updates of the current chipsets, adding in native support for usb3.1 (rather than an add on chip) among other things.

Can confirm, almost got fried.If your old computer has fried two CPUs so far, I'd hold your PSU suspect. I'd be a little leery about using it with a new system - even temporarily. But I concede a good one is pretty pricey.
Decided I will get a psu as well..Can confirm, almost got fried.
ThisDecided I will get a psu as well..
It doesn't make sense using the Older one..
Probably will get an EVGA..
Do people have experience with nox?
And wtf is the bronze gold or etc.. I heard about theese terms but it gives me "it's just a marketing scam" warning..
The 80+ certification doesnt mean one psu will be more reliable than another, say a titanium vs bronze, it refers to power efficiency.
What GPU are you going to get (i recommend a gtx 1070 or RX 480)So almost finished my setup
Processor : i5-6600k
Motherboard :Asus pro gaming z170
Ram: Corsair (will decide speed and size later)
Cooler: Corsair hydro h115i
Psu: EVGA supernova gold 750w
Now the Case... I felt. In love with the nzxt 340 that was recommended here, it's sleek, it's filtered, pretty, etc..
However.. In a computer shop I was recommended to choose another case because there is no ceiling space for a 2 block radiator..
The radiator shouldn't be mounted vertically because the air bubbles will get inside the loop creating noise and messing with the pump..
Ideally the radiator should be on the top, in the back but not in the corner..
Most likely gtx 1070,will choose later..What GPU are you going to get (i recommend a gtx 1070 or RX 480)

Thank you, are those fans really quieter? I thought they would make a bunch of noise..It's bollocks. Air bubbles can end up trapped during shipping (from the cooler being moved around etc).
Running the system on it's side for a few hours will clear them out and trap them in the rad.
Straight from Corsair as well.

You can always go with high end air (noctua dh-15 etc) if you are worried about issues like that. They generally perform around the same while being quieter and cheaper (http://www.relaxedtech.com/reviews/noctua/nh-d15-versus-closed-loop-liquid-coolers/1), you don't have to go with a closed loop cooler just because high end air has fallen out of fashion.

However I am worried about cleaning those things..
A AIO water cooler seems much easier to clean, don't even need to detach it from the mobo
thanks for the info, so for cooling either the h11i5 or noctua dh15 (i will decide between them at purchase) the noctua, being the best air cooler, is really making my head thinking in getting it...Yes. 2nd page

Full load, dh15 is the quietest of the lot at 45dba. You don't have to remove the cooler to clean. The fans are just clipped on and are easily removed. Without the fans you just blast the heatsink with compressed air/air duster etc to blow any dust of it. I use a k2 mount doom (an older dual tower cooler, similar to the dh15), it's no hassle at all to clean it.
