[QUOTE="Exterminator, post: 432896, member: 2930"] I have decided to do a little upgrade to this desktop I built in 2006.I have ordered the following CPU and Hardware for my little resurrection project.I wanted to keep the price as low as possible without sacrificing some punch. [LIST] [*][B]CPU >[/B] Intel Core i5-6600K 6M Skylake Quad-Core 3.5GHz LGA 1151 95W BX80662I56600K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 530TurboBoost to 3.9GHz [*][B]Motherboard >[/B] GIGABYTE GA-Z170-HD3 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel [*][B]Memory >[/B] G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4-19200) Intel Z170 Platform / Intel X99 Platform ... [*][B]SSD >[/B] SAMSUNG 850 EVO MZ-75E250B/AM 2.5" 250GB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) [/LIST] The new i5-6600K Skylake rocked in all the benchmark comparisons I looked at.It can also be overclocked. The motherboard and CPU were a combo deal for a very nice price Memory was also a good price,a few bucks over $100,so no reason not to go with 16 GB I also got a good decent priced CPU cooler/fan for less than $70 The OS and programs will be on the SSD and the 1 TB HDD used for backup and storing files Since I do not game on PC anymore I am just going to leave the Video Card alone. I think the Intel HD Graphics would probably be fine in and of itself. So the above is going to set me back $600 but I think it will be a nice speedy desktop once it's done. [/QUOTE]
