So i'm buying an i7-6700k. What motherboard and cooler would you recommend? Not looking for the highest overclock. Like 175 euro max for MB and like 50 euro max for cooler.

We don't even know your specs, we can't help much.

Case = Corsair - SPEC-02

Any z170 board will work fine, what I have in my other rig. Specs just help, because we wouldn't know if you were coming from a ddr3 build or not. Personally I would go Ryzen>Intel, and could probably make out for a little cheaper depending on setup.

The h5 is a good solid cooler, as well as the pure rock series.

EDIT: my mistake, any z170 board is fine, wasn't thinking about brands.

Yeah Ryzen is pretty solid but could get this 6700k for 240 euro instead of like 330 normally. Thanks for the advice tho ;)
