In today's video, we're going to take you through one of the best gaming PC builds for 2016 that can handle the latest AAA titles at high and ultra settings. This build is a testament to the power and capabilities of the hardware available in 2016, and it's sure to impress even the most seasoned gamers.
**The CPU: Intel Core i5-5600**
The heart of this gaming PC is the Intel Core i5-5600, a quad-core processor clocked at 3.2 GHz. While 3.2 GHz may not be the highest clock speed available, it's still a respectable speed for its time, and at $200, it's an incredible deal. For those who are looking for even more processing power, there are certainly options available with higher clock speeds, but for a budget of $1,000, this CPU is the best you can get.
**The Motherboard: MSI B150M Bazooka**
To complement our powerful Core i5-5600, we've chosen the MSI B150M Bazooka motherboard. This Micro ATX board supports up to four RAM slots and features a range of other useful features, including PCI 3x16, USB 3, and more. For $80, this motherboard is an absolute steal - it's solid, reliable, and offers everything you need for a great gaming experience.
**The RAM: 18 GB DDR4**
For our RAM, we've opted for 18 GB of Kingston HyperX Fury Black DDR4 at a clock speed of 33 MHz. While higher clock speeds are certainly available, they're not necessary for most users - and at $45 per stick, this is an incredibly affordable option. Additionally, the current prices of DDR4 have made it easier to get even more RAM than before - with 16 GB becoming the new standard by mid-2016.
**The Storage: SSD and Hard Drive**
When it comes to storage, we've opted for a combination of both an SSD and a hard drive. The Kingston SSD Now V300 series provides a respectable 120 GB of capacity, which is more than enough for most users' needs - including multiple copies of games, web browsers, and documents. Meanwhile, the Western Digital Caviar Blue hard drive offers a generous 1 TB of storage at an affordable $40.
**The Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 980**
The star of this build is undoubtedly the MSI GeForce GTX 980 video card, which features 4 GB of GDDR5 memory and MSi's Twin Frozer cooler. While it may seem pricey at $500, this GPU is still one of the best options available in 2016 - and for those who are serious about gaming, it's well worth the investment.
**The Case: Fantex and F00D Pro**
For our case, we've chosen the Fantex and F00D Pro, a phenomenal chassis that has won awards for its design and build quality. While at $80 it may seem on the pricier side, this case is truly exceptional - with its sleek lines and sturdy construction making it perfect for even the most discerning gamers.
**The Power Supply: EVJ Supernova NX 650 W**
Finally, we've opted for the EVJ Supernova NX 650 W power supply, which provides a solid 650 watts of power at an affordable $75. While this power supply may not have all the bells and whistles of some more expensive options, it's still incredibly reliable - with high efficiency and low noise levels making it perfect for even the most demanding systems.
