Yep, looks good.

I would suggest that you don't need an i7 for gaming, and you definitely don't need the "k" variety, which is pretty expensive. An i5 6600 would not reflect any performance degradation on a gaming rig, unless you're doing stuff (unlikely to be games) that requires that kinda chunky processing.

Personally I'd also go for a 1TB SSD over the two drives, but it depends how much storage you need.

No need for K processor if you have no intentions of overclocking. 16GB ram is also not needed for gaming, 8GB will more than sufficient. an 17 processor like altissimus said is only really needed for streaming/editing/video. Even then not so much.

No its not working for me, I have partition the 2TB Hdd.

It said my 1st hdd was m.2 ssd 512gb. But it will not confirm the status of the first hdd with the windows10 OS.

When I did mine, I put my 1st HDD as a 2TB WD black and then in the M.2 section put in the drive. Then on proceed, it cam up saying it was assuming it would go on the M." drive. I also gave PCS a quick call to confirm after ordering.

Try moving what you have as the 2nd HDD to the 1st

i5-6600K (3.5GHz) 6MB Cache CPU - No plans on overclocking it

Hi

Just placed an order about 3 days ago and I choose the i5-6600K (3.5GHz) 6MB Cache Intel CPU.

I have no plans to overclock the cpu.

Do I need to tell PCS to downgrade my cpu?

Or just leave it the way it is, will the i5-6600K cpu effect the performance if I don't overclock?

thanks

Jonathan

If you can benefit from the increased processor speed, leave it as is, it won't hurt. If you want to recoup some cash, you can downgrade without feeling any real gaming performance decrease.
