My new X99 GTX 880-ready rig

[asim1999]

I7 5820K

Noctua NH-D14

Asus Ranpage V Extreme

Radeon HD 5450

Phanteks Enthoo Pro

8GB Crucial DDR4 2133

Corsair RM1000

2TB Seagate Barracuda

120GB Sansung 840 EVO

Some ppl might be saying why I have such a bad graphics card, well by the time I have the rig built, it will be only 2 weeks until the new cards launch, I won't be doing any gaming and it has a VGA input so I can hook up my monitor

[asim1999]

Was the 5820K the right choice as the 5930K is £150 more and I i am only gonna run a max of 2 cards at 1080p?

You're telling me, you're going to buying (possibly 2) nex gen flagship GPUs and ONLY run 1080p?!

 

you can build a 1000$ rig that can games high-max 1080p.

Just run off the integrated iGPU instead of buying a temp GPU.

[asim1999]

Well i7 Extreme never has an iGPU so I need the cheapest one so I can just set up my PC

[asim1999]

But how is the build ignoring the crappy graphics card

[Oshino Shinobu]

If this is a 1080P gaming rig, you're wasting an awful lot of money. You'd be fine with an i5 and a single high end GPU. 

[Sauron]

Sorry to disappoint you, but there won't be an 880 according to rumors. It should be called 980

 

For 1080p, this is a massive waste of money. Get an i5 4690k and an asus z97-a with 8gb of ddr3 1600mhz ram and you're MORE than fine.

[asim1999]

But I am doing a ton if productivity so the beefy cpu is justified

...X99 has no iGPU

[CJPowell27]

Overkill rig is overkill, that's a 4K rig.  You can build something for 1500 bucks for what you need

[BarisERY]

too bad there wont be a 880 and a 980 instead..

 

sorry dude you have to upgrade again to be 980-ready

LAWLLAWLALWLAWLLQAWLLAWL! "880" lol

[lachyman]

If you do a lot of productivity, the 5820K is your bang for the buck CPU, it costs just a bit more than a normal i7 and you get pretty much the same thing as the 5930K, you just get 28 PCI-e 3.0 lanes instead of 40 on the other one, also a slightly lower clock speed. Too bad the RAM for it might cost more than the CPU itself. Also the SSD doesn't really match the rest of the build, you should have went with a 250GB or 500GB, if you'll be gaming on this you probably don't want to install 1 game on that SSD and make a lunch every time something else is loading.

990?

You mean 980.

990 would be dual GPU, and Nvidia appears to have given up on them
