I'm building a new liquid cooled rig soon, looking to overclock and I really can't decide between the 6700K or the 5960X! I would like to run SLI for some 4k action but with Pascal right around the corner, I may not have to. Thoughts and general wisdom pretty please!
This is what I've decided on so far:-
- CPU: Intel Core i7-5930K - As it is heck of a lot cheaper than the 5960X and performance gain is marginal.
- GPU: EVGA Nvidia GTX - 1080 as they promise to be better than the 980ti, waiting out on benchmarks to see if I want to go SLI or not.
- SSD: Samsung 850 Pro 2TB - Because why not, though I am entertaining a smaller SSD just for my operating system. Maybe M.2 Thoughts?
- RAM: HyperX Fury DDR4 2133 C14 2x8GB - According to Intel you can burn out your CPU memory controller if you have anything faster than 2133 for my chosen CPU.
- MBD: Asus SABERTOOTH X99 - Because it looks better than the rampage and I believe still provides me with what I need.
- PSU: EVGA SuperNova P2 850W 80 Platinum Modular.
- Case: In Win 909 Silver.
Will really appreciate anyone's input as this is my first build after a long long time. Also any suggestions on quality manufacturers of liquid cooling systems, radiators, connectors, pumps etc....
