Also - 1K is kind of tough thing to get great gaming pc from ... so anything you could offer as a salvageable addition from your console gaming times would help .... like hdmi tv / monitor etc

please put parts into pcpartspicker for real ... it's kind of tough to advice ( also getting K intels w/o custom cooling is waste of money ... and you need full tower preferably etc. etc. etc.

:smile: shit happens.
Honestly ... I tried to get pre-build pc .. I tried not one .. not two .. but three times over last 10-12 years and I'm done with pre-builds. My current one is build at home, and while I know about few things I'm not happy with - it works much better than any of those pre-builds when they arrived :)

I bought 2 pre-build PCs, accidentally also both Intel. The 1st lasted a few months before I started to upgrade it, the 2nd lasted 1.5 years (last week) before I rebuild that one (not counting RAM or HDD upgrades) Not the own build or pre build count, the components matter.
To be honest, with the new MB I hope that also the freezes are solved.

The shit happens was just a funny reference that something went wrong

Looks fine and you got around your budget with all those promos ... the only thing to point out is - I wasn't able to find whether case has case fans included .. and judging by price - most probably not .. so think about getting one or two for the front intake

Oops sorry but this should work https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NYcrd6 tnx for being patient
Why a 6700k and why H110 chipset? Also 7700k is almost outdated with the 8 series coming. If you wait a few months, then the 7 series will drop in price, hopefully also the RAM prices, but I
well my latest i7-7700k pre-build lasted three hours of not too heavy testing before it hardware crashed and lose ability to even start star citizen all together lol ... returned less than 24h after purchase
wow, my first return for repair was 5 months later
