It's all about the long run man. That i7 6700k is about as bulletproof as you can get for the next 5 years.

I hear yah, but in this scenario, I think he wants to be more conscious of overall budget/value. Plus hes gonna need to add in a monitor and might be a few things hes adds like fans or a sound card, for example

I wouldn't bother wasting money on fans just to look cool. Function over form with his budget.

Personally, I'd get this monitor. It's at $139, which is around $40 more expensive than the AOC one but you get more options to connect to it and is VESA mount compatible for when you want to get a monitor mount that clamps onto desks and free up desk space underneath.

If you want to get that, I won't blame ya for dropping to the i5 6600k because that's a pretty good monitor. That and because the 6600k is still a pretty dope ass processor... just not as bulletproof as the 6700k.

Thinking about getting an SSD later.

One thing we didnt talk about was the OS. You will need to get Windows 10 licence, and I assume your gonna be putting Windows on the SSD, so make sure you get those at same time or you'll be looking at a box of pretty parts!! :)

If you're going to save the SSD for later...

Absolute agree, if you can make room for an M.2 then its def. what you should do over the sata3 SSD. Those Samsung M.2 absolutely decimate any SATA3 drive

Will 120GB be fine for office and windows 10? (I already have office) And what is a samsung 950??? Is it RAM?

I wouldn't go with 120GB. That'll be very tight. 240-256GB is the minimum I'd go with nowadays. The Samsung 950 Pro is a harddrive. It's an absolute beast and will demolish any SSD that is connected to the SATA3 standard.

I'd recommend a 250GB for OS and programs, but technically a 120GB would work, but I like to have alot of space and not be restricted, bogging down SSD will kill performance!

The Samsung 950 he mentioned is a type of SSD called an M.2 its a small form factor and runs using pcie lanes, rather than the sata3 connection.
