Here we are with another PC configuration, this time we set a budget of about € 1000, as always monitors and peripherals are excluded, for info on the shop (the Italian one) where I got the prices you can ask in the comments.
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
For the CPU we picked up the Intel i5-6600K, a quad core cpu no HT and 3.5GHz stock frequency.
Nothing to say about this CPU, it's the TOP I5 of the skylake series, obviously the "K" indicates that this cpu have the multiplier unlocked, so you can easily overclock that.
As Motherboard, we went with the MSI Z170A Krait, it has value for money, a lot of interesting features, one of the only problems with this mobo is that the SATA ports have their connections facing up, which may result unhandy if you are thinking about upgrading it later to a dual GPU build, but leaving this aside it’s a very solid and reliable motherboard.
As for the CPU Cooler we chose the Cryorig H7, in this price range we still avoid to go with the AIO solutions, personally I love this cooler and it fits perfectly the color scheme of the motherboard we talked about before.
For the RAMs, we liked this Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2x4GB kit at 2400MHz, even here you can choose something else, different brands, lower frequencies and so on, it’s a choice given mostly by the budget you gave yourself, moreover if you are building this pc for gaming 8GB are more than enough.
As for the Storage, differently than our last week budget build we added a western digital caviar blue of 1TB and even an SSD with 120GB of storage, the Kingston SSDNow V300, nothing surprising but with value for money.
For the graphic solution we went with the one that most consider the best GPU to play in 1080p, the NVIDIA GTX 970, in particular the G1 gaming from Gigabyte.
At that price it looked like the best solution, we are talking about of one of the most factory overclocked versions on the market and with a windforce 3x heatsink that gives margin for further overclock.

As PSU even
this time we included the XFX PRO 550W with 80+ bronze
certification, it’s a good psu that does its job, the oem is Seasonic and
the platform is the S12II, in any case 550W are more than enough for our system
and they will give you a little margin if you are thinking about overclocking,
for the more skeptical I’d like to stress that a 80+ Bronze certifies a PSU
efficiency of about 85% with a load of 50%, this set up has a full load
(meaning on the benchmarks during the stress tests) of about 350W in total, do
your calculations.
For the Case we liked the Corsair Spec-03 white, a good case with a lot of features and a pretty good price, moreover in bundle there are 3 fans, 2 of which with LED lighting (white in this instance).
Here are the prices in dollars:
CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($256.89 @ OutletPC)
CPU Cooler: CRYORIG H7 49.0 CFM CPU Cooler ($43.53 @ Amazon)

Eccoci con un'altra configurazione, questa volta ci siamo prefissati un budget di circa 1000 Euro, come sempre esclusi monitor e periferiche, per info sullo shop (italiano) dove ho preso i prezzi chiedete nei commenti.
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
Come CPU abbiamo scelto l'Intel i5-6600K, un quad core no HT, frequenza stock di 3.5GHz, nulla da dire per questa CPU è l' I5 top di gamma skylake, ovviamente la serie K indica che ha il moltiplicatore sbloccato, quindi potete farci overclock in tutta tranquillità.
Come Motherboard, abbiamo scelto la MSI Z170A Krait, ha un buon rapporto qualità prezzo, presenta moltissime features interessanti, magari un neo è dato dalla posizione delle porte SATA, poste con l'attacco verso l'alto rispetto alla scheda, il che può risultare scomodo se si pensa ad una configurazione dual GPU in futuro ma per il resto è una scheda molto solida ed affidabile.
Come CPU Cooler abbiamo scelto il Cryorig H7, in questa fascia di prezzo evitiamo ancora gli AIO, personalmente adoro questo dissipatore ed in più si adatta allo schema di colori della motherboard scelta.
Come memorie RAM, abbiamo scelto questo kit DDR4 da 2x4GB di Corsair Vengeance LPX a 2400MHz, anche qui potete tranquillamente scegliere altro, altri brands, frequenze più basse ecc ecc, è una scelta dettata per lo più dal budget che vi siete prefissati, in oltre per le configurazioni gaming 8GB sono più che sufficienti.
Come Storage, rispetto alla budget build di qualche settimana fa, abbiamo aggiunto al classico western digital caviar blu da 1TB anche un SSD da 120GB, ovvero il Kingston SSDNow V300, nulla di eclatante ma ha un solido rapporto qualità prezzo.
Come soluzione grafica, abbiamo scelto quella che molti ritengono la miglior scheda grafica per giocare in 1080p, ovver la NVIDIA GTX 970, nello specifico il modello G1 gaming di Gigabyte.

A quel prezzo mi sembrava davvero la soluzione migliore, stiamo parlando di una delle versioni piu overcloccate di fabbrica presenti sul mercato ed il dissipatore windforce 3x vi da tanto margine per overcloccarla ulteriormente.
Come alimentatore abbiamo scelto anche stavolta XFX PRO 550W con certificazione 80+bronze, è un buon alimentatore che fa il suo dovere, l'oem è Seasonic e la piattaforma è quella del S12II, ad ogni modo 550W sono più che sufficienti per il nostro sistema e vi danno un piccolo margine in caso vogliate fare OC, per i piu miscredenti ricordo che la certificazione 80+ Bronze attesta l'efficienza della PSU del 85% circa con un carico del 50%, questa configurazione ha un consumo in FULL LOAD ( praticamente in stress test sui benchamark ) di circa 350W totali, a voi i calcoli...
Come Case abbiamo scelto il Corsair Spec-03 white, un buon case, con molte features e dal prezzo accesibile, in più in bundle vi escono 3 ventole di cui 2 con colorazione LEDs (bianchi in questo caso).
