Will I sell my kidney to get enough money for this monster?
did samsung fix their ssd problems? not that a few others dont have (much worse) problems
you would want a cpu cooler for overclocking, i'm fine with 120mm air coolers
you may or may not want to consider 4790k or even 4770k due to hyperthreading (for encoding)
i suppose skylake or broadwell might be an option if the cost is the same (maybe the ddr4 wont be, also doubt stores outside of usa will give fair prices of new mobos & cpus)

i5 is my final decision :)
cooler is great - from my country , the Poland!! :}

Oh, yes. The 850 EVO is god-tier. It has practically no contest on the market now, ever since they dropped the stupid introduction price they had.

looks like a pretty solid build. Not the cheapest though :D

If you are gonna spend lots of money...why not go for DDR4 build?

I was thinking in future compatibility, not exactly about performance
Also any top tier graphics card isn't worth the money I'd buy a lower end GPU and update it sooner
PS: The ga-z97x-gaming5 has M.2 connector, some extra usb ports and 2x SLI (besides the other gaming stuff wich doens't rly matter)
In my country it was only 10€ more so I went for it and a M.2 SSD :)

If you want it to be really quiet, pick different case. This one is too 'open'

Im open for sugestions.
Also - it will be under my desk so I dont need any windows or gizmos like that :p

Don't get me started on the subject. I want my pc to be as quiet as possible without big compromises on raw power.
If the noise of your current machine doesn't bother you, any case will do just fine.
Basic of quiet case is: if you can see the fan - it will be noisy, if you can't - you get restricted airflow. Fan speed should be kept at minimum, preferably <=500rpm.

Windows OEM? You do realize you aren't allowed to move an OEM license to another computer right?

Proof or this is lies. Forget it, found by myself. You're right.

You are required to support the license on that original PC, but you cannot support a license that has been moved from a PC that you manufactured to one that you did not. This is one of the key reasons why an OEM System Builder License can’t be transferred.
Q. My customer bought a new PC and wants to move the OEM software from the old PC to the new one. Can't users do whatever they want with their software?
A. No, the OEM software is licensed with the computer system on which it was originally installed and is tied to that original machine. OEM licenses are single-use licenses that cannot be installed on more than one computer system, even if the original machine is no longer in use. The Microsoft Software License Terms, which the end user must accept before using the software, state that the license may not be shared, transferred to, or used concurrently on different computers. System builders must provide end-user support for the Windows license on computers they build, but cannot support licenses on computers they didn’t build. This is a fundamental reason why an OEM System Builder License can't be transferred.
Can I transfer my operating system license from an old PC to a new one?
ANSWER. Not unless it was purchased as a Full-Packaged Product from a retail store (i.e., Windows in a box). Current OEM licenses for all Microsoft operating system products are not transferable from one machine to another. The End User License Agreement (EULA) governs the terms for transfer of licenses. Some EULAs for copies of certain older OEM operating system products (i.e., MS-DOS®, Windows® 3.1, and Windows for Workgroups 3.1) distributed in 1995 or earlier may permit transfer of the OEM operating system software license under limited circumstances. (See Software Product Transfer section of your End User License Agreement.)
OEM Copy: If your computer came with Windows, it likely has an OEM copy. An OEM copy is tied to a specific computer and can’t be moved to a new computer. While you’re free to upgrade a PC’s hardware components or replace a failing hard drive, you can’t move your OEM copy to a new computer.

Did you read my update? Keep you going? Now you get me.
To be exact and honest TS did not specified whether he bought OEM license standalone and did not activated it yet or he have it from previous PC.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah I read it, unfortunately you edited your post while I was formatting my reply. Also you can't buy a "standalone" OEM license and activate it for your own PC at a later date.

Stand-alone software. If you acquired the software as stand-alone software (and also if you upgraded from software you acquired as stand-alone software), you may transfer the software to another device that belongs to you. You may also transfer the software to a device owned by someone else if (i) you are the first licensed user of the software and (ii) the new user agrees to the terms of this agreement. You may use the backup copy we allow you to make or the media that the software came on to transfer the software. Every time you transfer the software to a new device, you must remove the software from the prior device. You may not transfer the software to share licenses between devices.
From OEM EULA

If you are building a system for your personal use or installing an additional operating system in a virtual machine, you will need to purchase a full version of Windows 10, available in FPP. Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and Windows 7 system builder software does not permit personal use, and is intended only for preinstallation on customer systems that will be sold to end users.*
Windows system builder licensing for personal use
What you quoted is actually the Windows 10 EULA.

What you quoted is actually the Windows 10 EULA.
Yes. But did I wrote something else?
Comment has been collapsed.
No but the OEM Licensing comes before the Windows 10 EULA. The OEM License is what forbids you from installing an OEM copy of windows on your own PC. If you purchase a Windows 10 full packaged product you are then bound by the EULA you linked to for that copy and that copy alone which allows you to transfer the software between devices you own or to another person. Still doesn't change the fact that you cannot move an OEM license to a different computer or install a new OEM license on your own PC.

It should be noted that original "computer"/"machine" for all intents and purposes actually means motherboard.
"Generally, an end user can upgrade or replace all of the hardware components on a computer—except the motherboard—and still retain the license for the original Microsoft OEM operating system software ... If the motherboard is replaced because it is defective, you do not need to acquire a new operating system license for the PC as long as the replacement motherboard is the same make/model or the same manufacturer's replacement/equivalent, as defined by the manufacturer's warranty."
If your motherboard dies and you're still lucky enough to have a copy of the product key (system builder OEM that came with a sticker, dumped the key), all you'll have to do on a reinstall is a robocall on activation (if you're lucky) or explain your predicament to support.

OEM licensing is really vague on what it considers a new PC however as he listed a motherboard in his parts list and has not specified this is the motherboard from his existing PC I assumed that this would be a new motherboard, therefore his old OEM license cannot be transferred.
EDIT: Turns out Microsoft is more specific than they used to be. Didn't realize your about quote was from their FAQ.
Comment has been collapsed.
For sure. I'm not arguing for or against OP, just clarifying that there are scenarios in which the license can be 'transferred' in a way. Particularly with system builder OEMs, since you may buy a board near its end-of-life and may not be able to get an exact replacement at later stages of the warranty period.
I have a little server still in use with Kingston DDR1 memory and look forward to the day it fails and I call support to honor their lifetime warranty.

I would say a good build for you is about the same as mine. Here's my recommendations for what you should buy, I live in Sweden so we have similar prices.
Intel Core i7 4790k
Sapphire Radeon R9 390/390X or EVGA GeForce GTX 970
ASUS Z97-A
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 2x8GB
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB
Any random hard drive, preferably 1TB or more
Fractal Design PSU
Any case you like
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Windows 10 retail license.
Comment has been collapsed.
My own build costed about 7000 zloty, and it looks like this;
Intel Core i7 6700k
Sapphire Radeon R9 390
ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming
Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2400MHz 2x8GB
Crucial BX100 500GB
EVGA SuperNova G2 750W
Fractal Design Define R5
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
And I'm just 14 years old, it took a long time to save up to. But now I'm here!

Why would you need 2400 RAM when "your" MB is supporting only 1600 in nominal mode?
Comment has been collapsed.
Exactly.. This is by no means a "poor" man PC, so for future connectivity and even from a performance POV, I strongly recommend buying new Skylake architecture. The cost difference is not that great here in Czech Republic and the lower power consumption will probably even even that out in the future (heh:D)
Intel Core i5-6600K
on
Gigabyte GA-Z170-D3H - Intel Z97
2x PATRIOT DDR4 4GB 2133MHz CL 15
The cost difference can be lowered by RAM since 8GB, should be enough and in the future the prices of RAM will drop.
And i certainly would not buy MSI GTX 980Ti LIGHTNING. It's price/ performance is just terrible. If you really want occulus, I suggest to wait for a new NVDIA Architecture. (This one does not even support full DX 12). For less then a HALF the price, you can have for example
MSI GTX 970 GAMING 4G in the meantime. (Oculus says , that this should be capable of runing it as well)..
BUT, smart money goes to almost same price level Radeon R9 390X, since in these resolutions the usual 4-6GB of memory will probably not be enough, and for the money this is a beast of the card, with much more potentian in future games, then current top_tier NVDIA...

All specifications outside of JEDEC standards are considered OC/non-standard, which is why they put those "*" notes next to them. This does not mean they won't work as they should, just that they cannot be guaranteed as it goes outside of the DDR3 specification.

I was building this set for a week.
Yea... mobile phone access...
My brand-new job gave me crappy 20GB-disc laptop, which cant load almost any site, but can run steam for a couple of minutes (sometimes).
But! Straight to the point!
I live in Poland and I will be buying all in Poland.
I want to build my PC all by myself.
I want to overclock whatever I can. With safety.
I 've never done any of above...
And I dont know if my build is "valid".
My priorities:
Please help me.
Tell anything i should know.
Is anything wrong with that set?
Can it be better in same / smaller price? :P
Anything else?
HTC Vive FINAL release date, price an req? ;P (still small amount for specials on 8th of Dec?)
Already have:
Edit:
Yes. I'm poor. I will spend all my salaries and savings.
I want to spend it good, but f. ex. I won't pay extra $1000 for +1% of efficiency :)
