Open Minded Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Looks good. The only thing I would change is the B series chipset to the Z series. I don't think you can overclock your 6600k using a B150 chipset. I could be wrong about that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnelsoninjax Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Do you really need another sound card? The motherboard has built in sound. Dick Montage 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good, but as other said, spend a few extra and upgrade to a better motherboard 9 minutes ago, jnelsoninjax said: Do you really need another sound card? The motherboard has built in sound. Depends on how much he is into sound. The X-Fi I have is much better than the one that is built into the motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you're into music or sound, get the dedicated sound card. It does make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well define "into music or sound" If ripping, or editing - then yeah get the card. If you have high end speakers or Ultrasone headphones - yeah get the card. If one is "into sound" yet has a $99 speakers, or thinks beats by Dre headphones are awesome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about, "If you want something much better than on-board, get the card." There ya go. T3X4S 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True - I was just pointing out the common fail of spending money to get some fancy add on card and pluggin up $99 speakers to them thinking "wow this card was worth the money !" Im just being negative - just ignore me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceelf Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) Or, just use an external receiver and skip all that fun with drivers. (Though actually when win10 was new there was still plenty of fun with drivers on my box.) Edited October 12, 2016 by LostCat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
