Mmm, if you can import, there are many many cheaper ultra quality options. But if you want locally then storm trooper is I think one of the best looking case on the market, but it lacks window, which is a must. Maybe DSM1 can get you any case you want at minimal cost within time but without warranty (you don't need warranty on a casing though).

Good question, one of my friend recommended it but I see no point of getting Skylake unless there's a noticeable difference in gaming performance. I could have bought DDR4 or X99 series stuff, but what's the point of spending extra bucks :D
After spending 270K, you're saying that you couldn't fork out 1k more for the 6700K, well then that's quite some saving you did there.

nice upgrade but as others said you could have the latest and the greatest with skylake if only you waited a lil longer but anyways congrats and happy gaming. I see many people are blindly going for CM cosmos se which isn't a good case at all. I'd say sell it out and buy something that looks good and AWA offers space for cable management like corsair 600t, 800D or something

Meh, since you got your case all settled and everything and nothing is bothering you then keep it.

If you still decide to upgrade then PM regarding my 800D, it won't be super cheap though as importing that beast is very very costly.

EDIT: [MENTION=132238]Bunty[/MENTION] it's available from users willing to sell them :p

DDR4 didn't launch yesterday, it's barely a premium over DDR3 now days.

The mobo? Your mobo costs more than your cpu fyi.
I'm talking about the Mobo with the support of Skylake processors. I spent 38k for a highend mobo that support Haswell Technology, obviously a Highend Mobo with Skylake supoort is gonna cost way higher than this.

I think there's a difference between buying a high-end mobo and buying an ASUS ROG product. If you didn't get the hint, ROG mostly always charges a premium over your regular high-end board.

Most people like yourself yourself over spend on parts that they'll probably never take complete advantage of (hinting on the mobo).

Z170's mobo's are relatively a lot cheaper than what Z97 offered. Look at AsRock for that matter.


You bought a mobo and processor that basically has no future upgrades, let alone costing nothing with the latest of what's available.

Well like I've said before, I'm one happy customer. According to the majority, my rig is overkill, n they're kinda right since everything I play is buttery smooth without OC. I'll consider skylake when I feel the need of upgrade, but right now, there's no point. There's always room for more whether you're on Haswell or Skylake or God knows what to come next.

Congratulations ... excellent PC
Yes, it could have better/more precise components as several member said ... but tension not ...
You bought it for gaming and it will serve you very well for significant time period, no difference in gaming since 1st gen. of i7 920 (with minor ocing)
Skylake has notthing to do with gaming, some features like M.2 32 GB or USB 3.1 which can be ignored for now ...
wesy bhi skylake ki life konsi koi 5 year honi hy, 6 month nahi guren ge to next gen. ke reviews wagera leak hona shuru ho jain ge :D
So enjoy gaming :)

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
